Sweaty Betty

Hi all I thought I would put this out there as I wouldn't have thought I was the only person suffering from a smelly photography bag?
I own a Lowepro flipside 300 and during the summer months with the temperatures the bag pressed against my back absorbs sweat and as you can imagine gets smelly.
Has anyone got any tips for cleaning products to use?
thanks.

Well the bag never came with washing instructions and I thought somebody might have an idea? I do have a bad memory so I will take what you said on board

From the Lowepro website:

"Proper cleaning of all Lowepro products should be handled with care. We caution against use of any detergent and recommend mild soap. We recommend spot treating or hand washing with warm/cold water and mild soap, followed by hanging the item to dry."
