How do you clean a military "mummy" sleeping bag?

Question

I have a mummy bag that smells and the tag is wore off.
Does it need to be dry cleaned or can I just throw it in washer?
Thanks

Answer 1

You can machine wash it, but I would air-dry it. The shell is nylon, if I remember correctly, so I wouldn't put it into the dryer. Dry cleaning wouldn't be bad, just a little pricy, IMO.

Answer 2

our supply always just machine washed our sleeping bags, but let it air dry.. If it smells horrible throw in some vinegar in the wash and it will smell great when it comes out...
