Hessian (?) Christmas sacks. Can they be washed?

[Rainbowshit]

You know the ones with the kids name printed on them?

They don't smell too good. Kind of musty smelling.

Has anyone hand washed them or diene anything else to make them smell better?

You can buy dry cleaner cloths/pads for use in the tumble dryer. I’d think they’d be a better option than washing them? Of you could just stick them outside on the washing line on a dry, breezy day.

Hessian has a scent. You can peg them on the line (if it ever stops raining) to freshen them a bit, but the fabric has its own smell, and it won’t go away entirely.

No, I don't think so. I think hessian just smells a bit.

To update I hand washed them in cold water with some persil liquid, and they smell a million times better than they did.
