Keep reading on to learn all about easy and simple cleaning of lunch bags, by hand and machine, as well as tips for spot cleaning them!

What is the best way to hand wash a lunch bag?

Before you get started with cleaning lunch bags, first make sure that your kitchen counters are clean and organized to make this job easier and more efficient. While you are taking some extra time to organize and clean your countertops, keep an eye out for food and grease splatter that can be quickly spot cleaned as well. 

Handwashing lunch bags is a great way to make sure that they will stay in good shape for longer, as it is the gentlest way to clean them. Washing them is similar to doing dishes, which is a great time to tackle these items as well. 

• Fill your sink with warm soapy water. 
• Put the bag in the sink and wipe the interior and exterior of the bag. 
• To rinse the bag out, use a clean damp rag to wipe away the soap. You can then dry it with a clean towel, and continue to let it fully air dry. 

Can I wash a lunch bag in a washing machine?

Another way to clean a lunch bag is to machine wash it, as most of them are safe to use in a washing machine. 

To machine wash it, use the following steps:

• Clean out any leftover food or debris in the bag. 
• Use a gentle cycle with cold water and your detergent of choice. 
• Skip the dryer after it is cleaned, and let it air dry out in the open. 

Spot Cleaning Tips

Spot cleaning can be done quickly when stains pop up on lunch bags. You can use a mild all purpose spray, a mix of soap and water, or a homemade cleaner using equal parts distilled white vinegar and water. 

Once you have your cleaner of choice ready to go, spray it onto a clean cloth and wipe down any areas that need to be cleaned. You can then go over the area with a damp rag to remove any cleaning solution, and let it sit out to air dry.
