A few of my bags had become dirty. They had mud, dirt and a few spills and sweat had made the nylon straps uncomfortable. I removed the water bladders and everything from the pockets and used a washing machine to clean the bags. The bags soaked in water and I watched cloasly so the straps did not get caught in the center post as it moved the bags around. Once the bags had gone through the complete cycle I hung them to dry outside on a line. I zipped all the pockets closed. It took just a few hours for these bags to dry in the Arizona sun with a slight breeze. The straps are back to like new condition and the stains and dirt are gone.

These well made bags held water, so I opened every zipper so the pockets could help dry

"The bags soaked in water and I watched closely so the straps did not get caught in the center post as it moved the bags around." I used the wash machine like a bucket, no soap, no agitation

You should never wash nylon gear in the washing machine. It ruins the waterproof finish on the fabric. Instead, soak the gear in a bucket full of soapy water, then rinse thoroughly before hanging out to dry. Your gear will thank you and last many years longer.
