Do you have any advice on how to keep the fabric ones clean? I've been concerned about food contamination over time (i.e. raw meats that leak, etc.).

- squigz 2y agoHmmm... Good point that I should keep in mind in the future :D I would assume throwing at least some of them in the laundry would work well enough, or even just hand washing, but I guess that'll depend on the material itself.
- ThePowerOfFuet 2y agoYou are already well-acquainted with machines that wash fabric.
- squigz 2y agoIs the snark necessary?
- misswest 2y agoIs this sanctimony?

- vel0city 2y agoWhen people act like washing fabrics are some mystical and not well understood concept, sure. Or do most people also just wear single-use disposable clothing as well? Should we just assume people don't know how to do laundry?
- squigz 2y agoImagine being this much of an asshole about... laundry.
- vel0city 2y agoImagine thinking fabric bags are unusable because there's just no good way to keep fabrics clean.
- squigz 2y agoImagine doubling down on being an asshole about laundry.
- vel0city 2y agoI just don't like pandering to people trying to sow FUD like "how to keep the fabric ones clean" as if maintaing fabrics is some new concept and arguing reusable bags just aren't as big as disposable plastic bags. People asking questions or making statements like that aren't genuinely asking. If they're going to be snarky about "how do I keep fabrics clean though?" they deserve snark back.
- squigz 2y agoFUD about laundry? What are you even on about?
- vel0city 2y agoFear - "about food contamination over time" Uncertainty - "how to keep the fabric ones clean?" Instilling doubt - clearly these reusable shopping bags just aren't as hygienic as the disposable ones. Yet another way to toss out the suggestion that these disposable bag bans aren't good, and we should stick to disposable bags, without directly stating it. Have other people reading these comments have that thought stuck in their mind, "oh yea, reusable bags aren't good, they'll have food contamination." Unless you really think NBJack honestly never thought about laundering or washing fabrics. C'mon, even my three year old understands when fabrics get dirty they go in the washing machine.
