Backpack care: detach accessories, wash gently and air-dry in shade

For many backpacks, manufacturer-directed spot cleaning or handwashing is safer than machine washing. Check removable straps and hip belts first.

Osprey recommends gentle handwashing with mild soapy water and drying away from direct sunlight. Water-repellent coatings, leather trim and wheeled frames can require different handling.

0 / 6 done

Check the maker's care label for water-washing suitability; empty electronics, paper and food.
Open every pocket, shake out dirt, and detach removable straps or hip belts.
Use lukewarm water with a little mild soap and a soft brush or sponge to spot-clean first.
Handwash the interior and exterior only where the model permits. Avoid machines and bleach unless explicitly approved.
Rinse away soap as directed, without immersing wheeled frames, leather trim or unsuitable coated components.
Leave pockets and zippers open and air-dry completely in a ventilated shaded place before reassembling parts.
