While traveling out west last week I had a plastic bottle of bug repellent leak throgh a plastic zip lock and became a sticky mess in the bottom of one of the liner bags. I tried washing this out with a wet wash cloth and soap while on the road but that did not work. Has anyone every put these bags in a washing machine on gentle cycle?

Just wondering what to expect before I try this. While on the road I used one of the bike wash rags at the motel to line the bottom of the bag. It worked just fine but I kinda want to remove that towel and use the baqs as normal once again.

thanks in advance

 

Are these the carry bags or molded liners?
If these are the carry bags,I dont see why you could not do the G cycle and cold water,no dryer.Maybe dryclean?
The best thing is,you dont have to worry about termites!

 

These are the pull out bags / black that come with the Ultra's.

Thanks

 

WoW am I the only one that has ever gotten sticky Sh*t in their bags???

 

worst case scenerio they are only like 45 bucks new from HD

 

I had a can of "Fix a Flat" blow inside mybag and blow the lid straight off. I still cant get that SH*T of the liner, (removable). I am hoping somebody knows.............I fixed the lid but the liner is still out of commission.

 

I have liner bags left over from a 91 Ultra that I have washed (one at least) in a washing machine with no bad result. Actually they were washed by my wife and she thinks she just used regular cycle. This was a long time ago. Sorry we cannot remember the details but the bag turned out fine.

 

Thanks guys. I think I will have the wife take a shot at Gentle cycle/ spot remover and no dryer.

 

bonzo,

Not sure if this will work, but there is a product called Spot Shot, that may help. This is really a carpet cleaner and I found it useful for taking out other stains. My suggestion would be to turn your liner inside out, spray with Spot Shot, and scrub with a stiff brush. Then, add more Spot Shot and run it through the washing machine. Once washed, turn the liner outside in, then hang it to air dry.

Not sure if this would work 100%. Let me know if you decide to try it.

Thanks,

will not hurt it wash the **** out of it but NO DRYER tends to melt the nylon alittle
