I am just curious how fellow CCer's clean their decorating bags. I am always washing mine by hand & began to wonder if their is an easier & cleaner way to wash them. I wash the tips & couplers in the dishwasher, but unfortunately, I use the plastic decorator bags that probably don't go in the dishwasher, although I haven't tried putting them in the dishwasher. Let me know what you guys do. icon_lol.gif

I put mine in the dishwasher all the time, I just clip them onto one of the "tines" on the top rack with a plastic clothes pin. Works like a charm!

I add my bags to the washer with my towels. Always need to wash towels when decorating. I take them out before I put the towels in the dryer. Yes I said washer. I then let them air dry. I put one in the dryer once and it melted the glue. Had to throw it away. icon_lol.gificon_cry.gif

any oily residue will clean off quickly if you give it a soak in one part water to one part white vinegar then a quick wash with warm water and soap. i do like the idea of the saran wrap. you can do that and use the vinegar as a back up.

I boil my tips in Dawn and water. I just use hot water and dawn and turn the bags inside out and wash. I hang them up with clothes pins to dry.

I've tried the dishwasher without much success, I think, because the bags didn't stay open. The idea of putting them in inside out over a glass or plastic cup is wonderful. Gunna give it a try. The washing machine idea holds lots of promise, too. Again, thank you very much. Cleaning the bags is one of the uglier sides of cake decorating (the cleaning up part).
