Camel Back ?'s

[dxcody]

I know they make a cleaning kit, but how do you guys clean them?

I straightened a coat hanger and got some paper powel pieces but it was a PITA.. Am i missing somethin here?

I rinse it out with plane water and a tea spoon of bleach mixed together. I only put water in mine so it’s easy to keep clean.

Baking soda. Fill it up with water, swish around and let sit for 15 mins. Then empty it all and rinse with water. Make sure you rinse the tube too.

I got issued (army) cleaning kit for my camel packs. I just mix backing soda with water and rinse. Or just replace the bladders cause I have a bunch of them.

But here is the cleaning kit.

I just soap and water shake it around every once in a while.

But every season I just go pick up a new bladder and hose for about 15 bucks.

i am in the same boat as u i never really clean them other then running some water though it. the key i think is just to empty it out right after u use it then i put something in it to keep the bag open so it dries. when it stays wet inside is when they get mold growing in it. been there done that. the only part i clean is the mouth part i just pop it off put it in some water and bleach

Viniger and warm water does wonders!
