How should I wash a military surplus sleeping bag?
I’m going on a camping trip soon. I got this sleeping bag from my mom who once worked in a thrift shop and it’s been sitting in my attic for over 20 years. It was made in 1949 and the label says:
“To be laundered in accordance with Formula G, D/A Technical Manual TM 10-354
DO NOT DRY CLEAN”
Here is a picture of a label from a similar army sleeping bag: http://www.olive-drab.com/images/sleeping_bag_lable_m1949_reduced.jpg
I’m confused. Does that mean cold water wash is OK?
And just curious, but why couldn’t they simply print the instructions right on the label, instead of make you look for a manual?
Small correction: It was *designed* in 1949. Could have been manufactured anywhere from 1949 to the 1960s.
Wash it in cold water in a front loading launderette oversize machine. DO NOT agitate it could fray and/or lump. Use 1/2 the amount of soap for a full load.Tennis balls in the dryer is good but if possible dry flat outside across lawn chairs or on a hammock if you have this available.
