How to dry platypus clean bag

[blueridge]

Anyone have any tips on completely drying a platypus clean bag before storing? I washed it with super hot water, but with only the one small opening it didn’t flash dry. Four days later in a conditioned house and it still has droplets. Any pro tips?

I used the air blower attachment on my air compressor but even after that it still wasn't 100%, but it helped a little.

I was just about to ask: “Any way other than standing there with a hair dryer?” That’s pretty close.

I bend the hose in half and stick it into the bladder, it holds the bladder open for more air circulation, seems to dry faster...

On the MSR drom bags I bend a wire clothes hanger till it fits in and it self-expands to some extent. Problem is the mouth is really to small to do it on these very well...I just let them air dry for a day or two, probably easier in WY than VA I imagine.

Dang... I've yet to dry mine out in about 8 years of use. Sometimes there is water in them from a month ago. I just rinse with a little bleach water before I use them and call it good.

Vacuum?

I throw my MSR drom's in the freezer while not in use, then a quick wash before a trip. Can't remember where I read that.

Stick the open end inside the end of a boot dryer. You may have to prop the inside open with a coat hanger.

I freeze my bladder after cleaning also. Should work for the clean bag.

I just store with a little bleach water.

I also just throw it in the freezer.

Do you really expect anything to dry in Virginia?
