Hey y'all...
A few years ago, my wife and I bunked with my in-laws for a short time while we were waiting on our house to be ready. We stowed a bunch of stuff there during the stay, living out of suitcases as much as possible with most of our stuff in storage. When we left, we left behind a few pieces in the spare bedroom including a fairly high-end camera backpack.
We have dogs and my in-laws have a dog and I guess he caught a whiff of our dogs on my bag and decided to make sure everybody knew it was his... I brought it home and stowed it upstairs and I'm guessing my dog did the same. You know, reclaiming what was his. Disposing of the dogs is not an option.
The inside of the bag seems to be pee-free. The outside, though, stinks. I've tried spot-cleaning the bag as best as I can but it has a bit of a pee stain (water stain) on the bag now and still has a bit of a smell to it.
Have you guys ever just thrown a whole camera bag in the washing machine? Any reason not to? I was thinking that since I'm not using the bag anyway that if I put it in the wash and it destroys it, then I'm not out much. Should I send it to a dry cleaners and have them clean it for me instead?
Anybody got any thoughts on dealing with a smelly camera bag?
Thanks in advance,
Matthew
