Q: How often do I need to clean my reusable bags?

A: ‘Once in a while.’ Because these bags have a high chance of direct contact with raw meat, unwashed foods, and moisture, it is important to wash the bags after some use. Naturally, we recommend you do not use the bags for multiple functions at once such as grocery shopping, carrying gym clothes, or diapers.
