The Right Way to Clean Your Backpack

[@elizabethtaylor3779]

The shape and location of that permanent marker stain lends itself to duplicating it on the other side and making eyebrows!

[@CleanThatUp]

Yes!!

[@xoombug830]

Yeah, I think I would have drawn another one and called it good! 😂🤣

[@veevee111]

Yes, choose your battles 😂

[@lmack6596]

Haha!! Love it. I was going to suggest acetone (nail varnish remover). BUT although acetone would probably dissolve the black marker, it may also take out some of the pink too. Turning it into eyebrows sounds much better idea!!! 🤓💪👍

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH!! Not only do you provide easily understandable and relatable content, but you have the BEST personality and smile! You just look like a joyful person, and people need that. Thank you!!

[@elizabethtaylor3779]

@@BIRDY_GIRL49 well said, and I agree wholeheartedly

[@lmack6596]

Same! I've taken to watching one of Brandon's videos with a cup of tea as a kind of warm up before I start my cleaning!! His positivity gets me enthusiastic about cleaning, and I normally learn something I didn't know too!! 💪💕

[@TheRealJules]

THANK YOU for filming this one! I’ve been wondering FOREVER how to clean my backpack that I use for work. It has no care instructions so I will be hand washing.

[@wildcaffeine8906]

so glad to see you cover this!! i have adopted the habit of cleaning my backpack since 2018, and now my current backpack is going 7 years strong without wear, tear, or even stains!!

[@szidko]

Brandon, are you a mind reader???? Or are you a friend who anticipates things😅 I was going to ask you to make a video how you clean a backpack... and there you are, you just posted that video! 🌟 Thanks a lot for showing the best way to do it. Now I can start to clean mine! 😁🤗

[@civillady13]

Former waitress. Whenever pen leaked in our apron pockets we would use hairspray to remove and it worked like magic. Maybe try that with the marker?

[@gumimegpoid5227]

It’s so satisfying to see the before and after! Thank you for the tips. Would dabbing rubbing alcohol help lift the permanent marker or could it cause damage to the bag?

[@nicoley2133]

Just found your channel due to a short but when I came to your videos I saw this one and let me tell you, my daughter's backpack has been used since kindergarten and she's now in 3rd grade and the backpack is in desperate need of cleaning! Thank you for your tips!!

[@Ursula-Sue14]

[@rimabohsali6276]

Thank you Brandon 😊

[@kristinminner1453]

Amodex works on permanent marker. Thank you for your tips and videos.

[@kimquillen6736]

So many questions for you! When did you know cleaning was your calling? What age did you start cleaning? Who taught you to be so discipline ? Anyway, great job!!❤

[@chicameowr]

Would you please do a video on how to clean very dirty vertical blinds both plastic & wood? 🙏

[@Piratepowersmobilegaming]

[@lfemme1075]

Great tip! How would you clean baby/child toys?

[@CViolet15]

Hey Brandon- I would love to know how to clean and keep the electrical toothbrush and their holders. Thanks!

[@ruthjackson9354]

Super-cheap hairspray lifts ink and marker stains. Saturate thoroughly until the ink starts running and toss into the machine before the hairspray and ink can dry again. I use Rave brand, but the cheaper, the better. The really nice ones with organ oil or whatever that helps hair just will not do for stain removal!!!

[@wildcaffeine8906]

leaving another comment just in case you want to cover other bag types, or bags with added equipment ie bags with an embedded powerbank! this is especially leaning towards the bags with electrical items within it; cords, powerbank, etc. i know spot cleaning is ideal, but i would like to hear what would you do!! ^^

[@jmsl_910]

some times acetone /nail polish remover lifts permanent markers

[@szidko]

But that would damage the material

[@conniemckinley7428]

Can you recommend a good canister vacuum? (Not dyson) Love your channel!

[@tobietaylorjones8893]

Hi. Can you make a video teaching how to safely clean a pizza stone. Mine specifically says no soap, so I’m terrified! Help!

[@nikkijubilant]

Keep your backpacks clean. It's really important

[@blackstar_1069]

i have a question, (never had a washing machine) how does the bagpacks get clean within the pillowcase? are those special pillowcases or the machine knows tho work harder.... me confused 😿

[@fjklfdasdf]

[@nikkijubilant]

Mesh bags allow even more cleaning

[@DrAwesome6710]

Hey Brandon! What's your favorite playlist to put on while getting in the zone? Ever thought about doing a publicly shared Spotify list?

[@MaryShelleysNib]

Diving deep into a filthy backpack 🤣 Any tips for how to stop sweat seeping into the straps? I go out hiking all day in the heat and they absolutely STINK by the end of the day. I've put them in the washing machine a few times but not practical to do it every day and some of the plastic bits won't last. I did spray some stain remover + left soaking but nowhere near as fresh as washing machine. Anyone know if silicone slips exist to put over the straps? any other ideas?

[@robinred1946]

Hi : I like your video and do have one question can my lunch bag it's like backpack,

[@rishavm8628]

So cool

[@audreysavard3248]

Do you have an alternative for Dawn? I tried it. It work well to get off dust and dirt, but the smell is so awfull that a I need to wash with water and scrub 3 times to get it off. It now live in my cupboard as it is more work.

[@mrsstrople]

How can I clean very muddy winter boots??

[@John-Smith02]

Can you do a video on cleaning limescale from the bathtub drain?

[@YoungLummox]

CLR (calcium, lime, rust remover) that comes in a liquid and spray form. Use an abrasive brush (at your own scratch risk) or a magic eraser.

[@TiredMomma]

CLR is long time trusted product. There is also a Scrubbing Bubbles brand to clean away limescale, or there was last time we bought it. Works well on shower heads and faucets.

[@John-Smith02]

Which one would I use? Any CLR or a brand name one?

[@JovialJinx]

Wait... you guys are cleaning your backpacks? :P

Does your daughter drag her backpack from to school instead of putting it on her back why are they so dirty it looks like she let 10 dogs attack them at once

[@terukounit]

I’m not Amazon there r better brushes than a toothbrush

[@TiredMomma]

If you use a harder bristle on the fabric of most backpacks, it can damage the fabric, trust me, that's how I learned to go back to a softer bristle brush. He could have used the green double bristle brush thing, sold as a veggie/fruit brush, one side has softer bristles.

[@szidko]

​@TiredMomma right! BTW I've been "hunting" that Veggie brush and it's not available in my area (20 miles radius) 😢

[@TiredMomma]

@@szidko We got ours from Walmart a few yrs ago. I hope you can find one. Don't give up.

[@szidko]

@@TiredMomma thank you! I will look around. 😊

[@lmack6596]

It never occurred to me to put a rucksack in the washing machine. I thought mine was a gone-er, but going to try giving it a quick scrub by hand, then putting it in a pillow case, and popping it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. 🤞🤞🤞🤓🫧🪥✨
