Pasadena CA - Wash Those Reusable Grocery Shopping Bags
Reusable grocery shopping bags seem to be everywhere in Pasadena CA. Afterall, if we forgot them at home or OH MY don’t have them(please don’t judge) -- we will need to cough up ten cents each for pleasure of once again using(as in buying) a paper bag. On July 1, 2012 Pasadena joined a small but growing group of California cities(including unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County like Altadena) where the plastic shopping bag has disappeared and the brown paper bag costs you ten cents each if you don’t bring your reusable grocery shopping bag.
But those reusable shopping bags -- my suggestion is to use cloth(I like the easier way when given a choice) -- need to be washed/cleaned on a regular basis. Foodsafety.gov has shown the bags can become contaminated with E Coli or Salmonella from food or other items.
-
Cloth reusable bags should be washed in a washing machine using laundry detergent and dried in the dryer or air-dried.
-
Plastic-lined reusable bags should be scrubbed using hot water and soap and air-dried.
-
Check that both cloth and plastic-lined reusable bags are completely dry before storing them.
Reusable grocery shopping bags are part of our Pasadena life -- make sure you are keep some in your trunk and make sure they are clean.
