Food tends to cling to the closure grooves and corners. Stasher says not to invert its bags and allows its own bags in a dishwasher, but these rules must not be assumed for every silicone brand.

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 6 done

Read the bag's care label for dishwasher suitability and any temperature limits.
Empty food residue and rinse the inside and closure grooves with lukewarm water.
Use mild dish soap and a soft sponge on both sides; gently clean the seal grooves with a soft small brush.
Do not turn Stasher bags inside out. Avoid stretching any brand's sealed seams.
Rinse away soap and stand the bag with its opening and seal propped apart to air-dry.
Store only once corners and seal grooves are fully dry. Stop using a bag for food storage if seams or closures are damaged.
