    If this was my backpack I would attempt to hand wash the back pack in the bath tub. Their may be to much suds for your washing machine to handle. Also, washing in the machine may throw it out of balance on the extraction cycle. You may have to change the water a few times. Good Luck

    If possible, wash the Backpack in the washing machine If not, hang it up outside and wash it out with a Garden Hose.
