Cleaning Tips
It's important to clean reusable bags on a regular basis to avoid bacteria (including E.coli) and possible cross-contamination. For some best practices, please review these tips (provided by the American Cleaning Institute) for washing cotton, insulated, nylon and recycled (polypropylene) bags. It's also recommended to label bags to keep meat, seafood and produce separate.
