SLEEPING BAG CARE & WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:

·       BETWEEN TRIPS, PLEASE STORE YOUR SLEEPING BAG LOOSE IN A STORAGE SAC. THIS WILL HELP MAINTAIN THE LOFT AND WARMTH OF YOUR BAG. AIR YOUR BAG AFTER EACH USE AND STORE DRY.

·       USE A CAMPING MAT UNDER THE BAG. THIS WILL HELP KEEP THE BAG CLEAN AND PROVIDE THERMAL INSULATION FROM THE COLD GROUND. WE ALSO RECOMMEND USING AN INNER SHEET OR TO WEAR A TEE SHIRT & UNDERWEAR INSIDE THE BAG, THIS WILL ALSO ASSIST IN KEEPING THE BAG CLEAN

·       DO NOT DRYCLEAN.

·       DO NOT WASH IN A TOP LOADING WASHING MACHINE.

·       WHEN CLEANING IS NECESSARY – WE RECOMMEND HAVING IT PROFESSIONALLY WASHED. CHECK THE YELLOW PAGES FOR COMPANIES THAT SPECIALISE IN WASHING DOWN SLEEPING BAGS. MONT CAN ALSO ARRANGE THE WASHING IF YOU WISH – CALL OR EMAIL US.

·       IF WASHING YOURSELF, TURN THE BAG INSIDE OUT AND CLOSE THE ZIPPERS. THEN SELECT A GENTLE CYCLE ON A FRONT LOADING WASHING MACHINE AND USE A SPECIAL DOWN SOAP AVAILABLE FROM A SPECIALIST CAMPING STORE. USE LUKE WARM WATER.  WE RECOMMEND A GENTLE HAND WASH OF THE INSIDE HOOD OR OTHER SOILED AREAS BEFORE YOU WASH THE ENTIRE BAG. ENSURE THE BAG IS RINSED VERY WELL.

·        GENTLY ROLL THE BAG AND CAREFULLY CARRY WITH TWO HANDS TO THE DRYER. DO NOT USE YOUR HOME DRYER. TUMBLE DRY IN A LARGE COMMERICAL DRYER ON LOW HEAT.  THIS MAY TAKE SEVERAL HOURS AND THE BAG SHOULD BE CHECKED OFTEN TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOT OVERHEATED. A FEW CLEAN TENNIS BALLS IN THE DRYER WILL HELP PREVENT CLUMPING DURING DRYING. GENTLY MASSAGE THE BAG TO BREAK UP ANY DOWN BUNCHES. CAREFULLY FEEL THE DOWN INSULATION TO ENSURE IT IS COMPLETELY DRY.
