    Can you wash a laptop bag?

    Bought a couple of tinnies on the way home, put in bag, one turned out to be a leaker and now my laptop bag is sodden. It's ok tho, MacBook Pro must have ale repellent on it because it was completely dry.

    Piss-wet through on bottom of bag though, can I sling it in the washing machine? I liberated it from IBM so I'm not bothered if it gets ruined, can always get a new one, but will it bugger the washing machine? American Whirlpool top loader BTW....

    If I was Scottish I'd just suck the beer out but I'm English.

        Buy a new one and stop being so tight.

            There's so much wrong with this sentence that words fail me.
            I'm a smug bastard.

              Think of what the detergent will do to the salmon pink!

                  Она мне правда завтра нужна - у меня есть только ацтойная сумка через плечо, в которую вмещается мак бук про.

                  Better?

                    The answer really depends on what it is made of, has it got padding etc..

                    I assume is a standard canvas with padding so yes you can but it will take a day or so to dry.

                    But ultimately +1 on the buy a new one & if you do; get a proper leather one & give it a coating of snow paste <linky>
