I just take the bag turn it inside out and hand wash it in the sink. Although taking Belter's course of action seems slightly more appealing

The ones I've bought in the past from HBSs look identical to medical tubigrips. I just turn 'em inside-out after use and rinse under warm water - no problem.

I use and re-use a nylon hop bag. After use I turn it inside out and rinse it under the tap. When ready to use it again I boil it first. OK, so it has gone a bit green/yellow over time, but who cares? As long as it's sterile. Think I got it from

Nice one, I've made my own by sewing two of the babies muslin squares together ha ha. She's got too many anyway. Last brew I used a muslin square just tied up and it worked fine, drinking that beer now and it's incredible!
