hi, thanks for the vid. I found that soaking some backpacks in a basin of water ruins the inside waterproof membrane. How does one salvage that? Thanks in advance
Washed my 15 year old backpack and the water in the sink was brown for the first 3 rinses. lol It's hanging out in the sun on a breezy day, so I hope it dries in about 8 hours instead of 24.
This method should work on a waterproof bag as the baby shampoo is super gentle. Always spot test first to be sure. If your backpack has a special coating on it to keep it waterproof I'd be extra careful with scrubbing.
Hi there, I’m not familiar with the Himawari materials, but the method is quite gentle. Check the materials of your Himawari. Polyester and nylon fabrics do fine with this method.
I don’t have any experience washing the Herschel backpack, but this method is very gentle so I don’t think you’ll ruin your backpack. Just don’t put it in the dryer to dry. Air dry only.
Not sure this method works with Herschel bags. If you have the big version with laptop compartment (microfiber lining), don't soak it in water. You might ruin the compartment. Cleaned mine with soap and damp towel, but the stains are still there. Can't risk soaking mine in water.
Using Rubbing alcohol might work. Here is a How To I found. However, please note the possibility that it may not work because of the pre-washing that occurred. Good Luck! Ink Removal Instructions It's important to always remove ink stains before washing. If you add ink-dissolving solvents to stained fabric and then wash it, you run the risk of the stain lifting and spreading to other parts of the fabric. If you do nothing to treat ink before washing and drying, you will very likely set the stain even further into the fabric, rendering treatment nearly impossible. Start with rubbing alcohol and remember to thoroughly rinse any lifted ink in cold water. Dab rubbing alcohol onto the ink. Allow a couple of minutes for the alcohol to penetrate the surface and react with the ink. Blot the ink stain using paper towels or pre-dampened cloth soaked in either water or alcohol. If the alcohol is ineffective, try using foaming shaving cream and repeating the steps above. If the shaving cream doesn't work, hairspray will usually do the trick. However, use this only as a last resort because hairspray can be damaging to certain surfaces and fabrics. A non-flammable dry cleaning fluid may remove certain inks, but use caution when using this toxic substance. Alternatively, you can take your clothes to be dry cleaned and let the cleaners know about the stain.
