Dry Cleaning - Dry cleaning is NOT recommended.
Washing Instructions:
- Use only oversized commercial front loading washing machine with a rotating drum action - DO NOT use top loading agitator style machines.
- Wash warm, rinse cold on gentle cycle using ¼ mild detergent.
- Use a fabric softener in wash. (Do not use detergents with bleach.)
- Tumble dry at low temperature in oversized commercial dryer.
- Alternate method: hand wash in bathtub, follow instructions as in #2.
- Bag must be thoroughly dry before being stored.
Rolling:
- Zip up sleeping bag.
- Fold in half, lengthwise.
- If applicable, fasten toggle and loop to ensure bag stays in folded position.
- Start rolling snuggly from opposite end of ties, loops or straps (whichever applicable). Have ties lying directly on the ground.
- After rolling bag completely, secure ties, loops or straps. If bag has Wrap 'N Roll feature, continue rolling into attached carrier, tie and transport.
Storing:
For longtime storage, it is not recommended to store sleeping bags in its stuff sack or carrier, since it can reduce the loft, or puffiness, of the bag over time.
