How do I wash the sleeping bag?

I don't know, but it is an overpriced piece of junk! The advertised size said adult and I'm 5'4" and it was way to small. Even if it was larger it would still be problematic. The zipper is in an awkward place and the sheet part is a cheap synthetic that holds heat! If you can return do so it is not worth the money or frustration. If it is like other sleeping bags wash on gentle cycle and dry in a large capacity dryer and fluff cycle when dry. I usually love Coleman products but this one is a lemon!

Label: "1.Use only oversized commercial front-loading washing machine with a rotating drum action. Do not use top-loading agitator style machines.2. Wash warm. Rinse cold on gentle cycle using 1/4 cup mild detergent. Use fabric softener in wash. (Do not use detergents with bleach.)3. Tumble dry at low temperature in an oversized commercial dryer.4. Alternative method: Hand wash in bathtub. Follow instructions as in #2.5. Bag must be thoroughly dry before being rolled and stored." So, it's high maintenance to wash this. But I think it's worth it. Label: "1.Use only oversized commercial front-loading washing machine with a rotating drum action. Do not use top-loading agitator style machines.2. Wash warm.

I just roll it up and use a sleeping bag to keep it rolled up. It takes up very little precious space, and isn't too heavy.

I haven't washed mine, but this review seems like it would help you: http://www.backpackgeartest.org/reviews/Sleep%20Gear/Accessories/Therm-a-Rest%20Compressible%20Pillow/Owner%20Review%20by%20Michael%20Mosack/

I would wipe it with disinfectant wipes, but if it's really soiled, I'd wash it in gentle cycle. It's a sturdy little bag!

The sleeping bag does unzip into two. I would say hand washing is the only practical option unless you can find a huge washing machine.

The information with the pillow says to take the zippered cover off and wash. The pillow itself can only be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. Do not immerse the pillow in water, this breaks down the foam.

No. Washing the bag in a washing machine will cause the fill to lose its insulating factor. Best thing to do is unzip and let air out, then spray with an anti microbial spray. The outer shell can be wiped down with a damp cloth.

I have not washed mine but I would feel comfortable hand washing it or put it in a laundry bag and wash on delicate cycle. Should be fine. Good luck.

Machine wash (I've done cold and warm, both fine) and either let it air dry flat or I often put it in the dryer for 5 minutes then let it air dry

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.

It does not need to be washed at all. .believe me, I have been using it for many times and tap it twice gently on any hard material (very gently ) remember interior from ceramic & exterior made out of steel so water is not really good option if u wanna make it last forever...If you are camping like i do don't hesitate to buy ;)Cheers!

Wash all parts in warm soapy water, use a bottle brush to wash the interior and your regular dish sponge for the exterior. Try to wash your thermos soon after use to prevent it from retaining a bad odor.

I washed mine in the washer with warm water and let it air dry. It was totally fine!

The instructions I got say to wash it in cool water and mild soap. I do it by hand, not in the laundry.

Yes it can be washed as the other comments have suggested. Don't hesitate to get this bag. Its functionality and style make this the best diaper bag I've ever had. Holds a ton! And people have asked me if it's a Marc Jacobs bag. (If you ask me I think it's better!)

Info with bag does not specify - I have not yet washed it, but it certainly looks washable. As a matter of fact, I am planning to wash this week-end and will do so in cold water.
