This helps in maintaining the fabric and the insulation and keeps it odour free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sleep in clean clothes.Itis advisable to go inside your sleeping bag in clean clothes and not the clothes that you trekked in. This helps in keeping out the dirt and odour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using sleeping bag liners. Liners help in keeping your bag clean and also add to the warmth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Air out and dry your sleeping bag as frequently as possible on your trek. Avoid exposing the sleeping bag for a long time to direct sunlight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Washing your Sleeping Bag.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spot Cleaning: Wash the area with a mild soap and toothbrush holding the shell a little away from the insulation to avoid getting it wet. Zippers should also be cleaned, preferably with a soft toothbrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wash your sleeping bag only when absolutely necessary. Hand wash is the best way to wash your bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fill a tub with warm water. Soak your sleeping bag using a very mild non detergent soap. Let the bag soak for some time, rinse gently with your hand. Drain the tub and gently press out any remaining water from the sleeping bag. Rinse the bag with fresh water, making sure that all the soap is washed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For drying lay your Sleeping Bag flat on the ground and air dry it in a shaded place. This takes long but will help in keeping the insulation intact. Preferably do not hang the sleeping bag on a line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Care &amp; Maintenance.
