I am sorry to jump in here,  but .....if you do chose to use the shower cleaner to rinse your bag, you are goint to ruin the odor and water proof protection barrier  built into the pouch.  It may look cleaner, but will soon begin to smell and leak.

The best rinse is warm water with some soap.  It may not be perfect, but will protect the pouch.
