    Bring it down to the local car wash, the one with the hand held wand, and go after it. Soap it down good and then rinse. The bad thing is, it'll take about a week to dry out, but it works good.

    sure this isn't sfi approved but here is what i do...

    5 gallon bucket... really hot water... some laundry detergent (small/med load amount)... and about a cup of purple power. mix it up good. put in the blower bag knead it around and then let it sit for about half an hour. all the oil/gunk will rise to the top. dump out the bucket with the bag still in there (or you'll just drag the bag back through the trash. repeat this couple times. then i just gently rinse it with a pressure washer and let it drip dry.

    if you're really brave... you can put it in your wife's clothes washer. better order out for pizza first and see if you can stay at a buddy's house =)

    good luck... sean

    We run ours through the shop hot tank (diapers, restraints, blankets, etc.) and hang them up to dry.

    The hot tank works really wee but if you dont have one just put it in your shop vat and run mineral spirits all over it for a while then let it drip dry.
