Back in 1995, I was a busy mom with three small children and (of course) daily food storage needs. I was doing what I could to save money and help the planet by washing and reusing food storage bags\u2014a task that\u2019s neither quick nor easy.

The dishwasher was useless. Bags came out soggy with rinse water or with food particles stuck in the corners. Or worse, they\u2019d fall down into the heating coil and melt (and stink!).

Washing by hand was not only time-consuming, it took up space as well. After scrubbing out the tiny corners of each bag, I\u2019d hang them all over my kitchen to dry\u2014on wooden spoons, on the kitchen window plants, even over the bottle of dish soap.

What was an earth-conscious mama to do? I didn\u2019t want to add more plastic to the landfill. Working with my then-husband I invented Bag-E-Wash™. It is the original baggie washer! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although that was a long time ago, I still use my Bag-E-Wash with every dishwasher cycle\u2014no more tedious hand-washing or wet, limp plastic bags decorating my kitchen!
