Washing dust colector bags.

I have with good success.

I blew the dust out of them and beat them on the ground a few time, of course while wearing a dust mask, then I ran them through on the “heavy” cycle.

I hung mine up on the clothes line and hosed them out with cold water, then left them out to dry.

I’ve been researching dust collection devices all day and here is what I’ve found about cleaning bags so far, you need to read the whole thing.

Thanks for the info, and the link to woodweb. I just put them in the washer, and will see how they come out later the eve.

I wash mine from time to time in the washing machine. Keeps them working well. I supposed if you do it too often, the bags would degrade, but the odds of me doing that are small.
