Hi All,
As per my other thread, I picked up a Heritage II.
The bag itself is in very good condition, no tears, rips, fraying or anything.
However, it seems to have been 'atleast' tested without an inner bag as there is some dust etc in there.
This was bought for a restoration and the whole thing really is filthy, looks to have been stored in a shed/garage for years. I'm quite a clean person so this dust and dirt from elsewhere is worrysome for me.
The dust is brown by the way.
How would you go about cleaning the bag?
I thought...
1) Hose it down/rinse it inside and out into a drain
2) Use a disposable tub and some detergent and scrub the outside, turn it inside out
then give it a good scrub on the inside.
3) rinse through thoroughly again with a hose
4) put it through the washing machine inside out
5) put it through again but this time not inside out
6) let it air dry
7) Maybe repeat the washing machine steps.
Overkill? Not enough?
What would you do?
