I've had a problem cleaning flags with the sand packet in the middle. That sand is in a plastic wrap inside there. If the plastic gets a hole in it and gets wet, a black ooze will come out- almost like ink. Very tough to get out and right on the "ball" that shows when you tuck it in your pants.

I've also have had a problem with bean bags- there are real beans in there!! Getting them wet may cause them to swell- and smell- until completely dry. Also, the beans may then stain the white of the bags with brown spots while they are drying.

I'm not sure why they use real beans- other than they're cheap.
