I drag my lighting equip everywhere. It get's dirty. Last night a lightstand tipped over and pitched the softbox into a giant mud puddle. Don't ask.

How do you go about cleaning these things? Just strip out the frame and throw it in with the laundry? Anyone have experience with this?

No lie: I took mine into the shower with me once. Scrubba-dub-dub all clean. Oxyclean works great on the white nylon fronts - do NOT get oxyclean on natural fabrics and do NOT gargle with it.

GWC!
