Are this straws truly reusable?

Similar to the straws from a fast food resturant,maybe a little stronger, you can reuse after a good wash, if they make it through. Some do,some don't.

I suppose they could be. The material is fairly thick. My only complaint is that sometimes when you pop the top accordion area open to stretch it out you can get little holes that make them useless. We now just don't open them and use them that way but we throw away each time also.

NO, they are NOT reusable. I bought them for a craft, and they are just plain, ordinary, flimsy straws. I was not able to use them. They just like the ones you get in any fast food restaurant, but in color.

I am assuming they can, since they can be washed in the dishwasher (where the water temp. is sanitizing) Mine wash up great in the dishwasher and I also recommend the cleaning brushes for straws.

Not at all..when we finished using them I even washed them..they are reusable

Not that I know of; but I too care about my drink containers & use of safe plastics--- and I still use these straws since they are so large. So I would encourage you to determine how much you really think they would work for YOUR needs; as I did.

These are disposable plates. If you hand washed them in lukewarm water, you may be able to reuse them a couple times, but they are definitely not designed to be reusable.

Yes! I'm happy to say that they work great in the 24 oz Tervis tumblers. That is all I use mine for. And the straws are holding up wonderfully and go through the dishwasher with no problems. (I've had mine for about 3 months now)

I reuse my straws. Hard plastic straws with rubbery connectors I soke in sink with dish soap and hot water to clean after uses.

Yes. They would be far better than any plastic straw (which are more skinny).

I do not know, I ordered the clear straws, I think they were plastic, very sturdy and they fit nicely, these were given as a gift, so I didn't actually use them, but have heard that they are terrific.

Yes they can be reused. Not sure how many times you are looking to reuse these but should get no less than 10 and likely way more than that. Like everything they do eventually wear out.

yes they are reusable - just through in the washing machine - recommend no bleach or fabric softener.

Can't answer because I have never used stainless steel straws; however, I have had these for quite sometime and they are still like new. I expect they will last a very long time. As long as stainless steel? Not sure but I would say it will be many years before they are no longer useful.

yes, I think so. I haven't tried straw,but I can't imagine it being a problem.

I would imagine so, but the ones that come with the lids wash in the dishwasher on air dry. Disposable straws might be a little loose in the lid hole, though.

They are reusable as long as you thouroughly clean the cooking surface after each use. I use mine until the surface closest to the heat source is so charred I consider it too thin.

Yes they are reusable, but the cut must be clean and straight. I use a paper cutter. They don't always suck the air out before sealing, but on this newer model I've had better luck.

No, they cannot really be reused. You could try spraying them with water I guess to experiment but they are not made to be reused. I really think they were worth getting and did last a few months in the original jar of material I had them in, but they eventually dried out and became hard. I do live in a really dry climate thought, so take that into consideration as well.
