It depends on the material, but most backpacks made of nylon or canvas and are safe to put in the washing machine.
If the bag has leather trim, don't machine-wash. If there are any exterior or interior stains, gently apply some stain remover with a soft brush or toothbrush to affected areas and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
Remove any detachable straps, pockets, or smaller bags and hand-wash them separately. If there's a metal frame inside the pack, take it out. Turn the bag inside out or place it inside a pillowcase or laundry bag to avoid straps and zippers getting caught inside the machine—or damaging the inside walls of the machine. Use a small amount of gentle detergent and wash the pack on the gentle cycle in cold water. If it gets bunched up during the spin cycle, stop the machine and try to spread the bag back out, to allow it to be thoroughly washed and also to avoid the machine getting lopsided with a small load.

Make sure the backpack is completely dry before the next use or storing it away. Leaving the bag wet can increase the chances of mold growing on the bag.
