Question about cleaning canvas bags

[BuffaloBoy]

Hi all,
I was considering cleaning my canvas bags I dump my coins in... I am sure many of you are thinking I am crazy for even giving this a thought, since coins are so dirty.

when bringing my coins to my truck to be loaded, I set them on the dirt/brown rock driveway, staining the decent shape canvas bags.
I was wondering if anybody has ever tried cleaning their canvas bags, I am seeking advise.

Thanks ,
HH

I have - I just throw them in the washer/dryer like dirty clothes.

I bought a lot of 10 canvas bags, I've been using the same set of 4 for over 4 months now, no signs of wear, definately the best investment I've made too, and to think, at the time, it only cost me $3.00 in 40% halves

Don't clean the bags...you'll harm their numismatic value!

I spilled a soda on mine. I put it in the wash with the towels and it came out fine. I let it air dry.

mine were free at my local bank. I think one of the managers is a coin hunter as it doesnt cost anything to buy boxes or dump.

Coolpix - I especially like the ones with the giant dollar sign on them ($). I'm pretty sure if you walk out of the bank with one of those in your hand, you will either get arrested or robbed.

Dumb question...do you wash them inside out? Just got one a few weeks ago and it's starting to get pretty filthy.
