Great video.. I run mine through the washing machine every few months. I turn the bag inside out and zip the straps inside the pack. For me, a clean bag is more important than the aesthetics or wax coating. I've washed every backpack I have owned and figured a bag I spent good money on will also survive :)
"We don't have time for that :D". Washed my lavender Kånken in the washing machine using tips from this video (have manually pre washed it before but I don't think you really can clean manually). Still looks dirty b/c of the colour but smells very nice and I know it is clean :) best video on the topic
So the Wax is only for G1000 material. The bag you have is made from a nylon type of fabric. The fibers in your bag will expand when they get wet and repel the water. So you don´t need to do anything exept cleaning :) But it was cool to see that the washing machine worked :)
FYI to all kanken owners...Fjallraven customer services said it's G1000 fabrics that can only be waxed not the classic ones like featured in the video.
Thanks for the video! I want to buy a kanken bag for christmas and I was watching videos in YT of very long, complicated and tiring ways of cleaning... and, honestly, I was thinking: "I don't care all this sh*t, I will put it in the waching machine". And then... 🎉 this video 😎
Fjallraven err heavily on the side of caution. So do Kipling. I wash all my Kipling bags regularly in cool wash with soap nuts and they are always the better for it. None of them have ever come to any harm.
Hey, please help me hehe I washed mine, but there is still water trapped between the liners where the laptop cushion is, like a lot of water, a glass of water. How can I take the water out? The rest of the bag is basically dry, but this trapped water won't drip out :(
Hi, I bought a black kanken back in March 2020. When I got it in the mail, it didn't look really black. It came like with some spots that looked gray. If I wash it can it go black again? I bought the Kanken from the brand site.
I bought a black Kanken and, just like you, was surprised when I realised it's actually gray when I got it. I had mine for a few years now, I washed it in a washing machine and the color didn't change at all
Hello! I wouldn't recommend drying the kanken as the heat will shrink the fibers and alter the wax coating. I would just hang it up and let it air dry. Thanks so much for watching and please consider liking this video and subscribing to see more content like this! :)
Hello! Yes it's still doing great! I actually just washed it for a second time after bringing it on a week-long beach trip! After a few days of being out in the sun in the sand and on a handful of boats, it needed to be cleaned and I'm happy to report it looks as good as new. Thanks for watching!

I washed it on the washer machine on purpose bc I wanted it to look lighter and nothing happened, it stayed the same but clean lol

Did you wash it in a cold cycle?

Thank you for this video! I was wondering if I could wash mine in the washing machine for a long time. Now I know!

Thanks going to give mine a try now 👍

does the dryer shrink your kanken?

You don’t wax that bag.. only Fjällräven G-1000 fabric.
Is ur bag still holding up nw ?

thanks! :)
I came from AHN.
This is sooo cool.
Thank you for sharing.
Keep it up the good work!
Thanks man! Subscribed to your channel and watching your mukbang vids now!
How long did it take to dry?
i leave the bag hanging on my shower rod and it usually takes the whole day to dry.
First time through the wash (NOT dryer), the zippers melted on mine 😫
Alright... Time to throw this dirty thing in the wash
Good luck! I've washed mine 3x now and it still hasn't faded. Thanks for watching!
