How to get Pet Smell out of Pin Bags?

[Hannahmation]

While we were re-organizing our collection, our temperamental Siamese cat had an (#1 only, thankfully) accident on one of our bags! Thankfully it was empty and closed at the time (so only the first page or so was effected), but we are worried that the plastic interiors of the pages might melt if we use the washer/dryer to clean it. Has anyone else had any experience with this sort of accident, and if so, how did you get your bags clean? Thank you in advance for the help!

About the only thing I've found to get cat/dog pee smell out of stuff is Odo-ban. I'd probably spray it on the bag, let it set a bit, then hand wash it and see what happens...

Lots of baking soda

You could put it in the washing machine no problem and then just let it air dry. I would not put it into the dryer.

I have washed many a pin bags in the washer (in a pillow case), cold water. Let it soak if need be. When finished, hang to to dry. I usually take a dry wash cloth and hand dry the material between the pages, Velcro ones, plastic, ect (repeat several times through out the drying process). I also try to prop as many pages open to air dry faster. I've done this many times with great results.
