Hi - anyone any idea how to clean a mucky Kipling bag. It is the Cyrille - so a canvas type material (I think). I tried baby wipes but it did not do much.

TIA

I have washed several in the washing machine on a cold, quick wash at low spin. They've come out clean and are fine.

I wash my Kipling bags in the machine
Take off the monkey (if you havent already done so grin )
I haven't washed the strap but I would if it was mucky.

I turn mine inside out (double check all the pokets for rubbish or a forgotten £10) and put in a laundry bag in case any zip fasteners get lost in the machine.
Cool wash ,

Mine have always turned out lovely .

I love the things you find out on mn
I have a Kipling bag that's looking a bit grubby- never occurred to me to put it in the machine blush

I too put mine in the machine, cool wash, low spin. Had one about 15 years and still looks like it did when I bought it.

Thanks so much lovely ladies! Sorry for the delay but I am not on the 'net at home so had to wait until I was next in work.

I will definitely try this (and take the plastic monkey off first!

Mine go in the machine too. I just wish I could dye the bloody thing!

I dyed one. It came out fine.

Was it in the usual nylon material or a canvas one Toofle?
I have one i've been thinking about dyeing for years but never braved it.
It's very pink.

I bunged mine in the laundry, monkey, straps and all, 40 degrees and a 1600rpm spin. It came out like new.

BFB, you have nothing to lose but your fear. The one I dyed is older and normal nylon. It was a mauvy colour and I dyed it pink, in the machine. Not glamorous I admit. But better than before.
