I ran into a friend yesterday, who told me how a full thermos of coffee had spilled in his tote. He quickly threw it in the laundry machine and was astonished at how well it came out. We don’t normally recommend the washing machine, mainly because our heavy-duty, stiff cotton canvas will come out with wrinkles that can be hard to iron out. Also, the fabric will lose some of its stiffness due to the harsh treatment of the washing machine. However, we’ve given it many goes, and scrubbing it down with some soap or detergent really does the trick!
