How to Remove Mildew Smells From Backpacks
- 1). Open all compartments of the backpack, and sprinkle a heavy dusting of baking soda into all openings.
- 2). Close all compartments and let the baking soda sit in the backpack overnight.
- 3). Shake out the backpack outdoors the following day to get rid of the baking soda.
- 4). Fill the sink with 1 tsp. laundry detergent and 1 gallon warm water. Agitate the water to create suds.
- 5). Dip a rag in the soapy water, squeeze out excess water, and wipe over the entire backpack. Keep all of the compartments open and allow the bag to air dry. Repeat if needed until all mildew odor is removed.
