How to Clean Your Backpack Quick and Easy 

FYI, it took just 5 hours to dry on a sunny, breezy 80F day.

No

I hope cause that’s mind

it should be it’s a very gentle method

This method worked on my Jansport backpack just fine.

Try to use hydrogen peroxide based products.

What color is your bag btw?

Some people don't have washing machines.

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 can’t speak to other backpack brands. I do think the washing method in this video is pretty gentle. Always do a patch test if you feel unsure.

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.

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.

No

Acetone

Yes, you can use the same process.

I did that and the black ink from the leather spread onto the white part of my bag.

Air drying depends of how warm/hot it is where you live. It can take 24-48hr.

Omg I have to stay now bc school starts in 5 days 😭😭✊

Did it work?

Baby shampoo is the most gentle, which is why it is recommended.

Yoanna Rojas yeah
