General cleaning, use a microfiber cloth/towel damp to just give a once over. Never had used anything stronger.

I haven't had to replace my bag. On the occasions when something has spoiled and we didn't get a chance to eat it I will place the bag inside out wipe it down with mild soap let it dry and use it again.

I am just getting ready to clean mine as well. In looking over the instructions it is suggested to use a pipe cleaner, or feather duster and/or a vacuum to get the loose dirt and dust out.

I have just wiped it out with a cloth and soap and water but certainly disinfectant wipes would work fine as well. The bag is very well made and the plastic is thick yet flexible. I LOVE all of the compartments as it is so much easier to organize for short or long trips. I actually look forward to using it!

I don't recall any instructions for cleaning; I rinse it with clean water after each use.

I've had mine open for about 2 years and it is still fine.After I take some out I make sure the bag is tightly closed and remove as much air as possible.

Curious if you bought and used it on your bag? I'm looking to do the same...

The bag is a sealed unit -you just unwrap the outer plastic which keeps the stuff fresh until you need it . No mess at all !

I don't remember if there are instructions, but you can find great instructions online. Just gentle wash with a few rinse cycles to remove all detergent, then hang dry. There are zippers on both sides. The flannel isn't, but you can buy liners for this bag for $15-20. They are worth the investment because this is a large bag to wash.

I just wipe it down with a wet paper towel occasionally. That seems to work pretty well :-)

This is from Teton.com&lt; Many companies consider warranties void if you've thrown your bag through a washing machine or dryer as this may damage zippers or reduce warmth. TETON bags come with a stain-resistant outer layer, so they probably won't need frequent cleaning. If they do get dirty, you can simply spot clean the area by wiping with a damp, warm cloth. When you're done using a sleeping bag, unzip it completely and air dry it for a day or two. If you can hang it in the sunshine this will help to sanitize the bag-just spread your bag out on the driveway or hang it inside out on the clothes line so it can soak up some sun. Otherwise, drape it over a stairway railing or an unused piece of exercise equipment. It's amazing how some clean, dry air and sunshine help keep your bag sanitary and fresh-smelling. Another recommendation we came across included using an essential oil like lemon mixed with water in a spray bottle or use a commercial deodorizer. A clothes line comes in very handy here. Simply open the bag fully, lay it length wise on the clothes line, spray your bag with the desired deodorizer or sanitizer, and let it air dry in the sun. If you don't have means to store your sleeping bag open, be sure to hold off on folding or stuffing your bag until the fabric is completely dry. Do not take the bag to a commercial dry cleaner. If your bag gets heavy use, consider purchasing the TETON Sports washable sleeping bag liner.

Yes, I have used the washing machine to wash the bag. I put it inside one of those zippered bags that are used to wash lingerie & delicate items just to be on the safe side & I did not put it in the dryer & it came out just fine. I think I washed it in the cold cycle with medium agitation.

Hi - you can spot clean and hang dry, even put it in the washing machine on delicate. Be sure to hang dry. However, try lining the bag with a dish towel or even a table cloth before putting the bag inside (put a potholder beneath the bag) will protect the bag from spills and all you need to clean is the towel or cloth you used to line the bag.

USE LARGE FRONT LOADER! NEVER AGITATOR MACHINE; top load agitation damages bags!! [Beware of laundramat machines if there are bed bug problems in your region!!---sorry, but I've read of nightmares.] Read labels/wash instructions BEFORE DRY CLEANING; I seem to recall it's not recommended---specifics not recalled. Maybe ok.
