Put it in the washing machine, paying close attention to the washing
instruction label.

p.s. Aren't you a woman? Shouldn't you be telling me this and not the other
way around?! :-P

A walk on typical Lancashire day?

or

If it is small enough remove any frame if poss, stuff it in a pillow
case and bung it in the washa. If it is too big or the frame does not
come out hose it down thoroughly inside an out. If that does not clean
it up enough a bit of elbow grease and detergent should do it.

You're trying to clean up the volume calcs off *my* new sac aren't you??
Don't worry, I'll take it, gratefully, as it comes, warts 'n all! ;-)

I used a pressure jet and car wash stuff on mine after a dog peed on it
because I happened to be cleaning the car at the time but you could always
buy a nice shiny new one.

That might have worked if I had a missus, but I'm still not entirely
convinced. I like your thinking, though 🙂

<blush> I was, actually. I've just dug it out and it really needs a
wash. However, if you don't mind then I'll just send it along. You may
need to fumigate, though! :-)

That would probably do it! 🙂

Ok, thanks - that sounds like a good plan!

Nice idea. Maybe this is my chance for the Luna...

You're trying to clean up the volume calcs off *my* new sac aren't you??

PW - send it as it is - I'm eternally grateful however it turns up! If
anything, it'll come with built-in 'attitude', which may have taken me a few
years to accumulate!

Ok 🙂 I'll send it tomorrow. It'll certainly come with some grime
that would have taken you a long, long time to accumulate ;-)

Not *that* long, sadly, by my standards. One trip usually does it! I
remember going on first camping trip as a lad, and the state I got myself
into in only 3 days defied belief. Damp, crushed sausage rolls seemed to
find their way into my immediate sleeping area, and I couldn't find
anything, it was complete mayhem. I've only slightly improved over the
years - wot a disaster zone!

Hose it down, a stiff (but bristle, not wire!) scrubbing brush on any
particularly stubborn bits. If that doesn't move it, leave it.

I've got a fifteen year old Karrimor and the technique I use the "live and
let live" technique of washing it!

.... might explain why no one stops to pass the time of day any more.

Ten minutes of this rain will do more good in half an hour than a fortnight
of ordinary rain in a month.

Get it in the yard with a good stiff brush, hose it down then hang to dry.
Failing that, wait while it rains then go for a long walk and scrub it
half-way round eh eh.
