ashmore113 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hey y'all! I know this is probably a really dumb question but, how can I safely & effectively clean the inside of a fanny pack and a soft portable water/food dish I just bought for my pup, that won't ruin the bag/portable soft dish? The waist pack is made from Jansport and I plan to carry dog food in it to use for training and the soft portable dish for water when we are training away from home. I'm sure this is probably a simple, "warm water & a little soap" answer I just wanted to see if anyone else uses these with their training and if they have found things that work vs. things that don't work as well. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 For the pack, you could simply keep it clean by putting the food inside a baggy within the pack. I would wash both with soap and water if they got dirty (pack in the washing machine, bowl with the rest of my dishes--I don't have a dishwasher so it would be handwashed). J.

Sue R Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 You'd probably get more answers if you post in the "General" section rather than here, which is for stockdog training, where fanny packs for treats and such are not usually used. I have a pack that I just toss in the laundry when it gets dirty, and it comes out nicely clean. I do the same if I use a portable dish/water dish. The fanny pack has a moisture-resistant lining in the main part and so I don't use a baggie unless I plan to have something really moist, like string cheese, that I might be using to train a little pup.

Gideon's girl Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 If I'm putting something that will leave a lot of crumbs in it, I will vacuum it out first so I don't end up with damp food stuck in the crevasses and then get food mold. I have one that can simply be turned inside out for washing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 White vinegar is an excellent disinfectant. With my treat pouch and cloth water bowls I'll turn them inside out and hand wash with a soapy washcloth, then do a quick vinegar rinse, then dry thoroughly while they're still inside out.

Tess's Girl Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 For my soft portable bowls I just turn them inside out and and put them in the dishwasher. I think that would probably work for my pack too but I haven't tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
