Does it mildew when put back in the plastic zipper bag that comes with it? I'm not quite sure what to do with it between uses.

Hmm, I didn't notice a plastic zipper bag! We put it in a plastic store bag until we get home then let it dry like a regular towel. Once dry, it goes back into the sports bag!

The Cooling Towel I received came in a cylinder container instead of a zipper bag. Placing the towel in the container while damp, it dries itself, and it doesn't mildew or it doesn't smell.

I assume you're asking about storage when it is not hot enough to be needed. Keep it in the freezer, will stop mildew and bacteria.

I just let it dry out. It's on a shelf with towels - dry. I dampened it a few weeks ago when we had hot weather, and it worked fine.

Mine did not come in a zipper bag, it came in a plastic tube. I've had it a few weeks and "re-tube" it almost daily. I've never had a problem with mildew, probably because I use it often and the climate in AZ is exceedingly dry. If you live in a humid area, you may want to consider hanging it on a towel rack to let it breathe,then re-wet when time to use. If I don't "re-tube" mine, I typically fold in 1/2 and put in the Fridge. Happy Cooling ~

Yes, actually it's better to. Ring it out so just damp, roll it back up, put it back in original container. I have had one of mine for 15+ yrs still good! Does not mildew.

I used it 2 times 14 days apart and still have not seen any powder mildew whatsoever and its been about 8 months since ive used for the 1st time. Im only looking to use it once a year as long as im not bringing in plants from an outside source into my garden and so far im on track with that

The bag is a sealed unit -you just unwrap the outer plastic which keeps the stuff fresh until you need it . No mess at all !

We have been using this type of bag for years and have never seen mold or mildew

I wash it when it starts to look dirty, no you don't have to put it in a plastic bag it doesn't scratch. I put mine in a drawer.

You can clean it with a mild bleach and water solution. Wear gloves when doing so. Once the mildew get's out of control, you will just have to replace the unit.

I have not had any issues with mildew with this product and it has been used well over a year. I also have not had any lingering smells. It is however starting to slightly lose its shape - the crisp flat sides are starting to show fold marks where the hamper naturally folds when carrying it. Aside from that, it is holding up better than I expected since it is so large.

It is coated & doesn't seem to mildew. It has no liner, but inexpensive ones are available from Amazon & the one I got doubles as a laundry bag.

Mine is outside in the exact location you're speaking of. I've had no trouble with it at all. I decided to use a garbage bag over my new one, but my old one still works fine and I never covered it.

I have only used it for over a month and haven't seen any mildew stains yet, not sure how long though.

I've only had it a couple weeks, so I couldn't tell you. Sorry. Also, we don't have much of a mildew problem here in Idaho.

I have used to cover my farm tractor and haven't seen any mildew. I don't know what it is treated with but I like the tarp.

I haven't had this liner up very long, so no mildew yet. But with other liners I've always had the best luck using Clorox clean up spray on them. Just spray it on, let it sit a few minutes, then rinse off. If there is a lot of mildew you might need to spray it several times and leave on a little longer. Hope this helps.

No mildew. I take the sponge filter out after each use. It has worn out pretty fast but I use the fan alot at work 8 hours a day 5 says a week. Best buy ever.

Mine is mildewed after 2 months. I have tried to bleach it out with no luck. I cannot recommend this product at all.

I haven't noticed any mold or mildew on the inside of it. Usually when I wash it I keep it closed so no dirty water goes in then when I dry it I open it back up and put it hold side down.
