Cleaning a white Freight bag?
 

So i Have a Freight Sling Bag (messenger bag) in White.

The color is awesome, but its gotten pretty dirty over time.

I search the forums, and i'm sure there's a cleaning thread somewhere, but i can't find it. Also, i was hoping someone could give me a good idea on how to clean a white bag with patches on it without fading said patches, but still getting a good amount of dirt out? It doesn't need to be stellar white, but it's pretty grey at this point.


Muchos gracias in advance.

gasoline.

Got something against white, or messenger bags in general?

Bleach.
Though my google-fu tells me you should try and give us more details such as is it made of leather? pleather? garbage bags? kittens?

I've got ten bucks that says cordura with a truck tarp liner.

Its a Cordura/Canvas exterior with a vinyl interior.

Pretty similar to a chrome bag, but the vinyl lining is secured to the canvas, instead of being stitched together and being slightly loose like my chrome.

I was going to use bleach, but i was afraid of damaging the vinyl lining and fading out the patches.

The only reason i even care is cause i got the one patch at my first concert when i was 15, bit O" sentimental value there.

I'm going to try a mild bleach tonight and just let it soak.

Just use like 20 of those bleach pens. Will allow you to avoid the patches.

Alternatively: remove the patches with a regular old stitch cutter, bleach like a mother****er, reapply patches.

One True Answer: leave that **** grimy

Why the hell would you buy a white bag?:50:

To match the belt

To match my tight leather pants actually.


Cause i've already got a medium green, a black roll-top, and a few yellow bags, I felt like a white one.

I'm a Mountaineer by occupation, bags is what i do!

my buddy recently tossed his stinky grimy chrome bag into a industrial washing machine and hung dried it. his bag looks really proper. white is different. but I assume if you use a bit of bleach with cleaning detergent it should work out. and next time sport a darker color, friend. good luck!

haha i got the backpack version and its white too. it looks dirty as hell, but im just gonna keep it that way. after 1 week its gonna look like **** anyway... love the bag though

white spray paint and tape off the patches. DUH
