What You Need to Get Started

  • Soft brush
  • Clean cloth
  • Mild detergent
  • Water
  • Baking soda
  • Paper towels
  • Optional: Vinegar solution (½ cup vinegar mixed with 1 quart warm water)

Cleaning Steps:

  1. Remove any paper or cardboard from the backpack before cleaning.
  2. Gently brush away any visible solids from the stained area. Take care not to spread the stain further.
  3. Mix a mild detergent with water and apply to the stain. Use a clean cloth to gently work the solution into the stain.
  4. Rinse the area with clean water.
  5. If the stain is still visible, mix baking soda and water to form a paste. Apply the paste directly to the stain and let sit for 15 minutes before rinsing with clean water.
  6. If stain persists, dampen a clean cloth with a vinegar solution and dab stain. Rinse off the vinegar with clean water.
  7. Finally, blot the area dry with paper towels.
