Sleeping bags can last years when cared for properly! Check out all our Sleeping Bag Care Videos here: http://outdoorvitals.com/Care
In this video, we cover how to wash your sleeping bag both with a machine washer and a bathtub. We also cover how to avoid washing your sleeping bags as much as possible as it isn't very good for sleeping bags to be washed frequently!
When machine washing sleeping bags make sure you put them on low heat for both the washer and the dryer. If they are down sleeping bags don't use laundry detergent unless you get down specific laundry detergent. When you put them into the dryer throw some tennis balls in with them as this will help break up any clump of down or synthetic fill.
To avoid washing sleeping bags the best thing you can do is use a sleeping bag liner! This will help regulate your temperature when using the bag, but most importantly it will keep dirt and debris from getting on or in your sleeping bag. It will also absorb any sweating that may occur and oils from your skin.
Next, make sure you air out your sleeping bag after every use to keep it from being stored with any moisture in the bag.
