Do the metal handles and hooks come off the bags for laundering? How? Seems as if they don't they would clunk around in the washer.

Yes the metal handles in the bag come out. They just slip in and out of the fabric loops.

I don't wash the bag with my laundry. I just take it to the washer to unload.

Yes they do. The handles just slide in and out through large fabric loops like a curtain rod through a curtain. We don't wash them that often.

no... they don't come off. I like the bag just the way it is.. the space is good.. it's sturdy.. it has the choice of carry straps.. and it's a good size..

Typically I tend to wash a load with several bags at once so there aren't other loose clothes, but the drawstrings do sometimes tangle around the other bags, especially if they aren't very full. I still prefer these to the zippers as my zippered bags have snagged clothes when I'm placing items in or removing them from the bag. The drawstrings on these bags is also a soft nylon type material rather a cotton rope, so I think for any catching or tangling it might be gentler.

I wash these bags with our clothes and even though I usually let them air dry (they come out nearly dry anyway), they have been through the dryer on occasion. They wash up like new. I have had mine for years and they are like new.

I haven't tried to wash them yet but plan to put them in a mesh bag that I use for lingerie. My guess is that you could put them in loose on a gentle cycle for just a few minutes.

Clothes do come out wrinkled, but not permanently. I rinse them, toss in the dryer, and they are fine. If not washable, iron or place in dryer on air dry for several minutes. Have been well pleased with using these bags.

No, I don't take them out. Sometimes they even get dried in the dryer with the clothes. I've never noticed the clothes feeling soapy.

No, Not at all they have heavy duty metal hooks with a black coating that are non slip! I love this laundry helper!! I wish I had it when my kids were growing up!

Are you meaning to throw in with a load of laundry and it comes clean? I would be cautious, especially with the soap nuts, because, although the weave is porous enough for long term (ie; steeping tea or coffee) or really hot (ie; soup making) purposes, I don't believe that it would let out all of the product within one wash cycle and you may end up with a goopy mess stuck in your clothes. If you're wanting to STORE the detergent/nuts in them (this would be a tiny size to do that in, but whatever...) , that would probably be ok, as long as the particles aren't so fine that they'd sift through the bag.

Yes they can. Just unscrew the plastic part from one end of the steel bar and slide out the steel bar. Beware though to follow recommendation to wash it in cold water. I washed mine in very hot water on the sanitizer cycle and when I took it out the stitching came loose under the steel bar and the bag is now unusable.

I've not had that problem, but i did clean a lot of lint from it. I turned it over and first cleaned the brushes. There was a lot if lintbehind them that i just pulled out with my fingers. You may need better bags too.

I have not had this problem. I have not done anything special to wash them, although my washer does have a "sheets" cycle. However, I have not had them for very long.

No they do not come apart. Because of the frame design they are designed to stay stationary and attached. I would recommend a single model that can collapse if you are wanting to be able to transport laundry more easily. Good Luck.

They are separated but can be connected via velcro around the handles. I've had them about 6 months. Great bags!

Well, of course. They want to sell more bags! I wash mine out with hot, soapy water, open them up and let them dry out thoroughly before putting them away. I resorted to this because I couldn't find any at the grocery store.

I have had mine for over a year. I have washed the heavy duty canvas bags many times. They still look brand new. I would highly recommend this product

I would not toss them in a washing machine but they are easily wiped down and quite sturdy. I have purchased 3, two of which were gifts. We all feel the same. These are great shopping bags. Loved them for the farmer's market or any food shopping.
