By hands, YES! By washing machine, we would not recommend it. Dirt and stains may affect the look and smell of a racket bag, so the solution to this would either be through hand washing or cleaning with a damp towel. Take into account that not every racket bag is designed to withstand tough spin cycles from machine washing. Granted, there are some that can handle much force, but for safety, we advise you to follow our recommended washing methods.
