Karma cleansing

[redneckgolfer]

What is the best way to clean a Karma bag? Can it be put in the washing machine if the insert is removed? What about drying also? Hang dry or low heat in the dryer?

I haven't washed my bags, but zipped up on gentle cycle w/o straps is how I'd do it. Hang it to dry.

Are we talking about cleaning off dirt or something that was spilled?

I don't like the idea of putting my Karma in the washer. For most instances I will just use a damp rag and a little elbow grease to clean it off if it gets muddy. However, I can see the need for a washer if you need to really clean the bag due to spilled drinks, food, etc. Like dsb1829 said, a gentle wash cycle followed by air drying would be best.

Depends what you're trying to clean off your bag. If you're trying remove dirt from countless courses played during your travels, I'd concerned it might create bad karma with your Karma. I'd leave any marks/stains left by the course on the bag to generate good karma and as a badge of honor.

On the other hand, if you or a friend puked on your bag, I'm pretty sure that counts as bad karma... I'd chuck it in the washing machine.

It could be both..so I offer this advice

Took a spill down a hill. Back padding covered in dried mud. Besides I would like to plastidip the bottom. If my buddy puked in it I would have a brand new bag.lol

This.

I've washed both my old Mojo and my current Juju this exact way. Both came out nice and clean. No issues whatsoever.

I wash all my bags this way, even my ultralight backpacks. I just put them in a mesh bag. Any bag that'd be damaged by this I wouldn't want to carry.

I wouldnt put any disc golf bag in a washer or dryer. Hand wash and air dry.

Another vote for hand wash. I just use a rag run under some warm water and take my time with the cleaning.
