Bean and we have a few of those bags. He's been washing them on gentle cycle with only a little soap and air drying and they've been fine. Ours are the plain canvas colored ones and one has a monogram on it. I would think you caould also use a brush with oxy clean and water and then hose them down to rinse.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-to-clean-ll-bean-beach-bags#post-456087 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:32:18 +0000 Dancy905 456087@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm not sure what color yours is - I have a few. The ones with the darker handles &amp; white canvas tend to bleed color into the white a little but it wasn't too bad. Mine are so old &amp; beat up that I just throw them into the machine in cold with some woolite. They'll never be good as new again though. I definitely wouldn't put them in the dryer - I think the canvas might shrink.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd try bringing them to the dry cleaner too.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-to-clean-ll-bean-beach-bags#post-455920 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 06:27:05 +0000 Erindesmar 455920@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hey hive!&nbsp; Does anyone have an LL Bean beach bag/tote?&nbsp;</p> <p>The tags say to "spot clean only."&nbsp; After a week in Bermuda, the beach bag needs a little more than that.&nbsp; I am tempted to wash alone, cold, in a hand wash cycle in the dryer, and then stuff with towels and dry it (to keep the shape.)</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p>
