After my success washing shower curtain liners in the washing machine, I wondered if it would work with my plastic storage bags. IT DID!! I turned all the bags inside out so they would be more open when washing. I made sure to rinse off any excess food before throwing them in the washing machine. I ran a short/delicate cycle on hot with a tiny bit of Bronners soap (it's safe for food).
After the cycle was finished, I tented all the bags and stood them on towels all over my kitchen. In the morning, most of them were dry, but I live in a very dry climate so you may need to towel them off a bit.
A quick, painless and easy way to wash storage bags definitely works for me!

Hey, I like that idea! I hate washing them out too, so more often than not, I just toss them...even though I hate to think of the cost!
Wow, never would have thought of that in a million years! Crazy!
Wow- I would never have thought to try that! I wash mine by hand and it's such habit to me... but this is a wonderful time saving idea. Thanks for sharing.
Found you on WFMW, I always wash them as I go and stick them on a spatula to dry. Or over a glass to dry.
That's a good idea... saves time and probably uses less water than standing at the sink washing and rinsing each one.
For my dry ziploc items (like bread, waffles, etc.) I've just been marking the bags with a Sharpie and folding them up to store in a drawer. Now it's just a matter of remembering they're in there instead of taking a new bag!
