“I found a Marmot 30 degree down bag on sale at REI. I got it for $154.00, and it only weighs 2 pounds. This is the lightest sleeping bag I have ever owned. I am wondering how to wash the thing. Do you throw it in the washing machine or take it to the cleaners?” 3:56:24 PM 3/19/02 “Take it to the cleaners. That way if something happens to it its' there falt! 8)” 6:47:49 PM 3/19/02 “i have the same problem w/ my ranky bag that stanks!” 7:21:57 PM 3/19/02 “Cleaners it is. Makes sense to me, maybe I could get a new bag in 5 years when it falls apart at the cleaners. LOL!!” 9:04:50 AM 3/20/02 “Call REI and ask.” 10:53:10 AM 3/20/02 “I would recommend against the cleaners - take it to the laundrymat and use a big front loading washer (DON'T use a top loader) - be sure to use a soap that is specific to down products - regular soap strips protective oils off of the down. To dry DON'T hang it on a line - toss it into a dryer set on very low along with an old sneaker or two to fluff the down. DON'T dry clean it.” 11:21:34 AM 3/20/02
