How Do You Clean Your Soft Gun Cases?

[45 LongColt]

I came across a couple soft gun cases with the plush fabric inside. They are a little grubby. How do you all clean yours? Or do you?

When I have had to clean a gun case I have just used water and soap and then let it air dry. It has worked for me but I don't know if it will work on super plush fabric, as the ones I have used have been standard padding on the inside.

A while back I bought a couple very nice soft cases at an auction for next to nothing, problem was they smelled like an ashtray. I actually ran them through a cycle on my wife's front load washer. They came out clean with no ill effects, but your results may vary.

I'll leave mine out in the rain and let them air dry in the sun.

Soft cases are a great way to make rusty guns. Your results may vary. But I doubt it.
Throw them away.

How do you figure? I use soft cases for trips to the range, they're much easier to handle than hard cases. I've heard of guns rusting when stored in hard and soft cases.

True. I should have said when stored. Short stints or when regularly oiled might be OK.

Run them through the Washer if their Synthetic Fabric. Hang them open to dry. Spray the interior with silicone before using. Been doing that for years with cases for Hunting that tend to get dirty.
