Can You Put The North Face Backpacks in the Dryer?

Backpacks and bags from The North Face are some of the best products for custom corporate merch. And for good reason: these high-quality backpacks are sturdy and long-lasting. They make our lives easier by allowing us to carry everything we need on our commutes, errands, hikes, and anything in between. Their usefulness has only one downside, though. Because we carry our logo-branded TNF bags so much, they steadily pick up dirt and grime and will eventually need to be cleaned.

Below, we’ll discuss cleaning techniques for The North Face backpacks and whether it is safe to put them in the dryer.

Can You Put The North Face Backpacks in the Dryer?

In short, no. To protect the longevity of your beloved TNF bags, you should not put them in the dryer. As Durability Matters explains, the dryer can cause irreparable damage. Custom embroidered backpacks from The North Face are an investment, so you’ll want to take care to clean and dry them properly.

How to Dry The North Face Backpacks 

The North Face offers this guidance on cleaning and drying their backpacks: The best way to clean our backpacks is to spot clean with a damp cloth, then let it air dry. We do not recommend fully submerging our backpacks in water.”

Durability Matters suggests a weekly spot-cleaning routine for regularly-used bags. Of course, spot cleaning may not always be enough. In their comprehensive cleaning guide, they also provide steps for several cleaning methods, including hand-washing, machine-washing, and cleaning a moldy backpack. 

In each of these cases, you should always allow your custom backpacks and bags from The North Face to air dry completely (expect 24-48 hours) before storing them away. They suggest hanging your bag somewhere it can drip without damaging your floors, and where it won’t be in direct sunlight or heat.
