Wash your re-usable grocery bags

DateThursday, April 18, 2013 at 6:52AM

We are green, we use less plastic, and we save trees by using cloth grocery bags.  We carry eggs, raw meat, unwashed veggies in them.  Do we wash them?  Experts are saying that 85% of us do not. 

But we should.  Food borne bacteria, parasites and viruses can be carried in unwashed bags and potentially hurt us, too.  So wash them once a week in hot soapy water to keep them clean and spanky.
