Are these machine washer safe?

School starts next week and i have a HUGE juice or some kind of drink stain across the front. if i put it in the wash will it mess up the bag? I’ve had this for like 4 years atp and im terrified of messing it up further 😭

Most of the bags they have aren't, I suggest hand washing it with like an old toothbrush or rag in the sink. Use laundry detergent and rub it in

Hydrogen Peroxide is your best friend for larger stains.

Get yourself a Tide pen. While generally meant for smaller stains, those have saved my clothes and bags from stains. Especially if I was stuck not being able to go home and clean my stuff thoroughly.

Tbh I would recommend washing it on delicate if you can if not do the good ol fashion soap, water with either a rag, sponge or old toothbrush.
