FAQs

Is the BagWasher recyclable?

The BagWasher is 100% recyclable after its long and effective life cycle. The BagWasher will last for thousands of wash cycles. The color of the BagWasher is so that it is even more desirable for recycling companies.

How does BagWasher work?

Slide your zip-top or silicone bag onto the frame and place it in the dishwasher for a full wash and rinse.

Does the BagWasher collapse for storing?

The BagWasher does not collapse, thereby ensuring that the entire bag is washed and dried as efficiently as possible. Reusing every zip-top bag by washing them in the dishwasher will reduce the amount of plastic waste going into your trash can, and reduce waste going to the landfill. Washing zip-top plastic bags in the dishwasher does clean the bags effectively.

Does the BagWasher fit a silicone-style bag?

Yes, the silicone bags do fit BagWasher. In the future, we will have more BagWasher sizes available. While silicone bags are a wonderful option for food storage millions of Americans still use the zip-top style plastic bags for freezing foods and are still considered the easiest least expensive go-to option for food storage. Americans are so accustomed to grabbing a box of zip-top bags at the store that it’s almost second nature. Recycling those zip-top bags usually requires a separate company or drop-off place to recycle that type of plastic film bag. Wash, reuse wash, and reuse, again and again. Reduce plastic waste one bag at a time.

How much space does it take up in the dishwasher?

Washing your zip-top bags in the dishwasher is fast and easy and reduces water consumption. If you use the gallon BagWasher that will take up 4 dishwasher prongs or 8 inches wide x 5 inches deep. That equates to 3 plates. If you place the quart-sized BagWasher in that will take 6.5 inches x 3 inches deep. Which equates to 3 prongs of the rack.

Is the BagWasher a US made product?

The BagWasher will be made at an injection molding company by the name of Sea-lect, located in Everett, Washington. The process of injection molding requires a certain type of ā€˜mold’, and those molds are made overseas. After that mold is made the BagWasher will be made, packaged, and shipped only by American companies. We support American businesses. All parts of the BagWasher including the packaging of the product will be recyclable.

Our Story

The Founders of BagWasher Sheri & Trip Butler

Introducing the BagWasher – a meticulously designed kitchen accessory targeting plastic waste on both local and global scales. Fueled by my personal journey of handwashing numerous zip-top style plastic bags, I questioned: ā€œWhy hasn’t a dishwasher-safe zip-top style bag accessory ever been created?ā€

I’m Sheri Butler, a passionate cook, dedicated parent, fearless adventurer, and a driven entrepreneur. I’m excited to introduce the BagWasher, aimed at combating the global plastic crisis immediately in each home. As an active member of the Woman Inventors movement in the US, my commitment to this cause is unwavering.

Traditionally viewed as single-use, the ā€œzip-top plastic bagā€ has hidden potential. Designed for efficiency, user-friendliness, and recyclability, these bags are often effortlessly discarded due to washing inconveniences. Immediately contributing to our planet’s plastic crisis. The waste business refers to these bags as ā€œplastic filmā€. That material is a material that is only recycled at certain facilities. For example: your local grocery store, and companies like Ridwell, Recyclops, and TerraCycle.

Inspired by Sheri’s quest to rewash zip-top style bags, we’ve successfully brought that vision to life. With a patented design and multiple proven prototypes, we’re now ready for the next step – funding. Our journey included crafting prototypes using innovative 3D printing, while the final BagWasher will be produced using recyclable PPE through injection molding in Seattle. Plastic waste, whether in landfills or oceans, is a global concern. The BagWasher addresses this by empowering individuals to effortlessly reuse plastic zip-top bags, reduce plastic usage, and promote recycling. By extending the life cycle of these bags, we’re taking a step towards alleviating plastic pollution. Your reusable silicone bags will also wash effectively in the dishwasher with BagWasher.
