Cleaning a Brain Bag?

[Andrew]

My Brain Bag has been a great friend, we've crossed the Atlantic twice, been to Africa, and all over the US and Canada, been dunked in Puget Sound, and even survived a Greyhound trip from Seattle to Chicago, after all that we both still look pretty good.

I do have one problem though. The back padding has absorbed a lot, and I mean a lot, of dust, dirt, and sweat. My pack now has a very distinct odor, and that's not a good thing. I thought I'd check here first before I throw it in the washer. If I shouldn't put it through a wash, what's the best way to clean it?

Thanks.

If you look through the old threads in this forum, there are several threads describing how to clean TB bags, I believe.
