I've read that the chain bags are black with a preservative coating. Mine are pretty stiff and seem dirty, maybe a little oily.
Is it OK to wash them, or will that ruin the preservative coating?

Re: Wash the chain bags?
Pretty sure they are waxed canvas
You could wash but would need to rewax as hot water and soap will remove it
If you want a project you can get beeswax, melt it and brush it on the clean bags or any other canvas. Then use an old iron and iron it/melt it fully into the fabric. Let cool and bingo
There are tutorials on YouTube

Yikes! Think I might just leave them as they are. Or, just wash them and leave it at that. Don't think we need them waterproof.TechMOGogy wrote:Pretty sure they are waxed canvas
