omimouseHow does one get lighter fluid out of a mostly cloth backpack?
Someone doused Bear-Cub's backpack in lighter fluid on the bus home today. We're busy getting the important stuff hashed out with the bus-driver (Bear-Cub didn't see it happen, but two of her friends told her about it, and the incident has been reported), but we don't know how to clean the backpack. It's pretty heavily soaked.
We've been told that it would be a Very Bad Idea to toss it in the washing machine; possibility of explosion was what the lady said.
This is not helping with Bear-Cub's growing hatred of school.

Good luck on getting Bear-Cub through this.
