Reply to comment by PilotG10 in LPT: wash your backpack if you’re noticing more body funk than usual. by Wiknetti

Careful of any loose straps if you're just putting the whole thing in the washer. I had one my favorite backpacks get eaten/torn by the washing machine rotors because one of the straps somehow got stuck.

Would recommend air-drying because some of the stuffing materials they use for padding like on the arm straps can shrink and become useless in the drier.

I remember reading somewhere to put it in a big pillowcase and tie it. It may work better than the mesh to keep things secure in the wash. Air drying would be better too
