can u wash and dry these bags, and if so how?

Hand wash and air dry. The more you wash them the less effective they will be.

I have not done so. I think that if the bags are impregnated w an anti-tarnish compound, washing the bags would be counter-productive. I would go online to see what others, like the company, would recommend.

I have been told to only hand wash and air dry if you have to. The chemical will come out and/or react with detergent. It can be ironed. This information came from a store not Hagerty.

Since I just purchased them I have not. But seeing that the the bags are used to keep silver from tarnishing,I would assume it is in the fabric and I would not wash it. Hope that helps. M

I wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle then hang to dry. You could also easily hand wash them in cold water and hang to drip dry.

Pull them inside out and let them dry. No they can not be washed in a machine.

The bags cannot be washed. The label says to wipe them with a damp cloth. There is a plastic-like coating on the inside. The loops have velcro so that they can easily detatch from the hanging wires for cleaning.

Yes they are machine washable! I don't dry them? I hang them on hangers to dry! If I need them right away I put the dryer on air dry:)

The bags have worked out very well for me and I've never had to wash them. The labels say, however, to hand wash them.

You can wash it, but there is an inner lining that may crack and peel off. I have washed it a couple times and placed in the dryer as well, which made it a bit more stiff. So be weary that your clothes may catch black speckles from the bag but they'd be headed to the washroom anyway and most likely wash off.

Hi - you can spot clean and hang dry, even put it in the washing machine on delicate. Be sure to hang dry. However, try lining the bag with a dish towel or even a table cloth before putting the bag inside (put a potholder beneath the bag) will protect the bag from spills and all you need to clean is the towel or cloth you used to line the bag.

No do not 're use or wash. Do your self a favor though and read the reviews and buy a different brand. These bags leak. Lansinoh are better.

Ziplocs are nice option but its my understanding these are washable. I would soak them in a batch of warm water with a bit of liquid soap & cap of bleach then rinse thoroughly before reuse. I love these things.

I have never tried to wash these bags. But if the produce in them did not leave juice or smears on the bag, I might use it again. I probably reuse 30-40% of them once or more.

There were directions? Sorry, I just put the clothes, or blankets/towels in the bags and used a vacuum to seal them off. The smell wasn't 'musty', but smelled of the plastic chemical. They did wash out with only one washing in the washing machine, but inconvenient to have to wash perfectly clean clothes. And an FYI. I use these while traveling since I have a small car and need the space. I find if the bags are deflated and left in one place, they do better than if you have to move them around. Seems they do not do well with much moving around. Only the slightest micro tear will cause this to be null and void for why you bought it. There were directions?

I hand wash mine with mild soap and warm water, reshape them and air dry. So far, so good!

I would not recommend to wash it. And usually to my understanding you don't the import end part is how you store them dry and dark place and the best way would be airtight ...if they ever get to dry you can wash them in warm water or let them soak for just a lil til they are soft again and you can cut them open to use the .I guess if you realy have the habit to wash them you can go ahead and wash them .

I do not see why you would need to since they are made of nylon netting, like the type used in shower puffs. You rinse and hang them to air dry in shower after each use. I suppose you could put them in a wash bag then put them in a washing machine, but not in the dryer! They will melt.

That's how I use it. I rinse the bags when I come home from the store, roll them in a towel to dry them, fold them and put them in the little bag, then place them in my reusable shopping bag. That way they are ready for the next shopping trip.
