Washing guitar straps?

Post by Noirie. »

My fucking kitten pissed on my Ernie Ball guitar straps. Now they fucking reek.

Is it worth me washing them? If so, how should I go about this?

Indeed, and use Woolite or similar detergent intended for delicates. Air dry. Might want to spray a disinfectant beforehand as well.

I'd throw them in a synthetics cycle at 30 degrees then air dry

Optional Lenor for lovely fragrance.

I've put gigbags and tennis shoes in the washing machine and they came out fine, nothing broke.

When you press the accelerator past halfway it doesn’t actually go any faster, but the engine noise distorts
