How To Reuse Ziploc Bags

How To Reuse Ziploc Bags - wet bagI don't know about you but we go through Ziplocs like crazy! So what with how much we use them and how expensive they are, we've been rewashing ours. Now granted, after about 3 washes I would say it's about time to throw them away depending on what brand you use. But a few more uses for just one Ziploc gets you a long way! Simply wash the Ziploc bag after each use just as you would anything else, rinse thoroughly, then place on a drying rack to dry. The only time that I typically don't rewash my Ziplocs is if it's been used for raw meat.

I've started washing mine, too. They can be used to hold the extra dry goods that don't fit into the canister; baked goods; and so much more.

I do the same with the Ziplocs even plastic grocery bags when you have ice cream or something that will leave moisture in the bag just turn the bag inside out and expose the wet side and put it over a jar or bottle until it drys out.

I have a red and a blue magic marker in my jar of pens on my kitchen counter. I make a big red mark if I used it on meat and a blue mark if I used it for something dry, like mashed potato flakes or rice that didn't happen to fit in my storage containers ( A full "set" of peanut butter jars that I bought over the years and saved!).

This way I know that I've really got to scrub it well with hot water and Dawn if it's got a red mark. I save them in an old Ziploc box that I wrapped in contact paper. I buy one box every year or so, so I really make them last!

I reuse mine all the time. If after the third wash I will store non perishable items like thread, buttons etc in mine.
