I have some cloth/paper/meshy types that seem like they would disintegrate in the washer. Have you washed those? I didn't know the polypropylene bags could go in the washer either. (Didn't even know they were polypropelyne ( I call them plastic/meshy). I have a number of those and will try washing them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-90022754039617655492014-06-16T18:22:48.328-05:002014-06-16T18:22:48.328-05:00You're welcome!

A local grocery store gave them away and even today, when I use them at that store, the clerks are amazed that the store gave them out and that I still have them. I do wash them regularly. The stores in California pretty much require your own bags or they will charge you for a bag. Just had this happen at Nordstroms.
