I'm pretty sure I've never done it, but if I were to, I'd either give it a scrub with soap and a brush in the sink, or put in the machine on a cool wash. Then peg on the line to dry.

I've done it a couple of times when things have leaked, or it's been targeted by bird life.  I've just hand-washed it in the sink with a bit of washing-up liquid and left it to drip dry.

check the manufactures instructions. I know at least one of the bags I have instructs to use no soap.

dry bags ofter have coatings that are can be removed by some detergents.

Turn inside out, assuming something leaked inside, then wipe down with wet cloth or sponge. That’s as much as I’ve ever done.

Hmm, I think I might try manufacturers websites again and try and find something I may have missed.
