Empty every pocket before washing. Remove loose straps or accessories if possible, and place the backpack in a pillowcase or laundry bag.
Use cold water and a gentle cycle. Skip harsh detergent and never use high heat to dry the bag.
Air dry it completely before using it again, especially inside pockets and seams.
A washing machine can clean a basic backpack, but it can damage the wrong one.
