I hang my washed baggies upside down on the side of my refrigerator with a magnet inside. The bag hangs open and quickly dries.
My freezer bags last me forever because I always use the storage bags to store my food into first them I put the bag into the freezer bag this way the only one that gets dirty and I throw away is the storage bags and I just dry the freezer bag and reuse again and again. The storage bags I use are the ones that do not have the zipper but the one that use the twist tie. This way I am also able to put several items in one freezer bag and just take out the portions I need and leave the rest for another time. Hope this can help someone.
I tend to open the washed baggie and carefully place it over something on the drainboard to dry. It ends up looking like a pup tent. I use more sandwich-size baggies, so hubby's gotten used to seeing baggies tented over my small coffee cups.
The larger baggies I tent over a 12-ounce tumbler or taller item. So, I don't even need a paper towel. Besides, hubby uses enough paper towels for both of us (frown!) I think my paper towel boycott is getting his attention, though, so there's still hope.
My mother always hung washed plastic bags on the clothesline!
She also washed & reused tin foil.
I re-use mine too but I have a couple of tall bottles that I use to put the bags over and they drip dry on a towel.
Thanks, Linda.
I always air dry so I end up with bags all over the counter. Good idea since we can re-use the paper towels.
