Is it safe to reuse (wash with hot soapy water and/or bleach) ziploc-type food storage bags?

I do it all the time and it is also good for our environment -- recycling you know.





Waste not, want not. As the saying goes.Is it safe to reuse (wash with hot soapy water and/or bleach) ziploc-type food storage bags?
yes it sure is. i have done it forever!Is it safe to reuse (wash with hot soapy water and/or bleach) ziploc-type food storage bags?
Yes, as long as the bag never contained raw meat. You don't want to take a chance that you didn't clean the bag thoroughly enough. Your health is not worth the price of a few ziploc bags.
my mom has been doing it for years. i used to say she was ghetto, but now i see why. hey i am still alive haha so i guess it is
not bleach but if your using it for thing other thatn food its ok like screws and stuff
yes
Plastic is amorphous, which means particles, such as liquid or food, can get trapped within the plastic and be difficult to wash out. Disinfectants like bleach kill germs that feed on those particles. If you don't disinfect the plastic periodically, it will smell of decaying food.





This is different from metal, which is crystalline and easily cleaned.
we do.... however,not when it was something like chicken, pork or other bacteria causing items. cookies, dry snacks - sure wash air dry (stand them up in your dishwasher and let them air dry. forthe others that had really nasty type things - rinse them and use for trash, animal messes and things like that!
