how would a book bag get on

[loosinas]

in a washing machine?? gentle wash ?? am i crazy ??

Ours always survived the experience well.

thanks!! its pegged to the line now looking unscathed and rather clean !!

I wish more of you would do that! :o

Ours goes in regularly thanks to unfinished cartons of juice going back onto packed lunch boxes. We have also discovered that lunch boxes (the sort that zip) survive the dishwasher no problem.

oooooohhhhhh the lunch box is going in nextthen thanks!

Just make sure there are no holes in the lining because if there are then it fills with water. They dry on the radiator fine if they do though and must still be more hygeinic than before.

The dirt is the only way I can tell DS (year 2) and DD (Reception) book bags apart

I should wash them really though shouldn't I? I always chuck their lunch bags in the washing machine at the weekend

Remember to take the reading books out first though!
