We treat "wet" (cheese or meat). Is the inside of this bag cleanable (plastic)?

The inside is not plastic but cleans very well. Last night I spilled my apple juice on it and it ran inside and all over. I used a wet soapy wash cloth and it cleaned up the messy treats inside and dried clean. My husband and I both have one and feel it is far superior to any other out there for function and durability. Cleaning has so far not been an issue and last nights sticky mess confirmed we had the right treat bag. I hope this helps.

It is cleanable. I've turned it inside out to wash it out. Any strong smelling treat will permeate it though. I use the pouch for horse training and I accidentally put a garlic paste laced grain in it. I washed it out a lot, but the horse refused any treat from that bag, and I had to buy a new one.

I always put my cheese or meat in a baggie inside the treat bag. Closed spaces rapidly multiply germs/mold/etc. so I don't put anything easily spoilable directly in any treat bag.

Yes it is a plastic material you can clean. Really love our pouch and use it when hiking with our dog, for a feeding or treats. A great invention and nice to have hands free.

Yes it can be cleaned pretty easily...it's like a plastic/canvas type material. I put a snack baggie in it with cut up hot dogs so I can reach in and get the treats but don't have to clean up as much.

I wash it when it starts to look dirty, no you don't have to put it in a plastic bag it doesn't scratch. I put mine in a drawer.

It is reusable and it comes in a resealable bag. You cannot clean it. It is reusable until it is filled with dirt or dust and loses its stickiness.

I am sure it is safe. However, I, after each time getting it empty I soak it in the sink with water and "Comet", and I hand-scrub it. Of course I use the liners for inside which I also buy on line at Amazon.

All the answers so far are right on. One of the thing that I've done with very wet items (like your bloody ground beef and my homemade pasta sauces) is fold a paper towel to fit the width of the bag, and slide it in until it's close to the food. Vacuum the bag, and when the liquid just touches the paper towel, press the Seal button. For soups and sauces, freeze the bags upright with the top part with the towel folded over. When ready to use, cut the bag just under the towel. I've done this for years with no added taste of paper to the food, and no missed spots in the seal :-)

It is new. I have not cleaned it yet. I guess I should be able to wash it with water because it is made of gel on the inside.

I would not call the lining plastic. The inside of the bag has the same fabric as the outside with the exception of the bottom, but you have to put a cloth on the bottom of the bag before you place the pot inside. The underside of the cushion "lid" is also a solid blue fabric, different than the patterned fabric of the rest of the item, but I don't detect any plastic. I have used this many times now (more than when I first reviewed the product) and have placed steaming hot pots inside the bag an have not smelled any odor of plastic or anything. I have always, however, followed the direction of placing a dishtowel in the bottom of the Wonderbag before putting a hot pot inside.

We leave it in freezer. Its a freezer bag so should be fine. Haven't had any problems w that..Just remember you can't wash it only wipe out!

I honestly don't know if you can wash it. The inside is that vinyl material so when my son brings it home from lunch and it's sticky or wet or full of crumbs, I just rinse it out under the tap and wipe it dry with some paper towel. I love these things!

I personally do not use plastic bags but I can tell you it is easily cleaned with a hose as long you don't let it dry first.

yes you can, but you can easily wipe out the inside or wash quickly by hand. If using a dishwasher, to be safe, put the bag in the coolest part of the device.

I have found that vegetables are no problem. Cheese on the other hand.....the cover has so many crevices, it's almost impossible to remove all traces of food. Lastly, the grading blade also has a small rim around the outside. It's put in place for reinforcement. Best thing I have found to clean it was a toothpick. I would give this unit a solid 0 for ease of cleaning. Hope this helps.

I found it pretty easy to clean. If I grated cheese I just let the parts soak in soapy dishwater for a bit. Then I spray it with water from the hose from the sink. Haven't had any problems.

Danielle, there is a cardboard liner between the inside, waterproof material and the outside, non-waterproof material, so I do NOT recommend doing anything other than spot cleaning. If liquid soaked through the outer material, which seems possible, the cardboard middle layer could get moldy.

I have been able to keep mine clean with just a bit of water on a cloth. Spot cleaning. I use the bag nearly every day & keeping it clean this way hasn't been a problem. I even carry lunch in my bag sometimes. I would be hesitant to use chemicals on it... I really treasure my bag.

I sure doubt it, for the way they handled it it would be crazy to think is food grade, you get it in an old-dirty-opened looking bag.

If you clean the food right away you can keep them clean. If you let the food dry it can get caked on there and the strap would probably need to be soaked in water to get completely clean. It's a really nice chair, we're really happy with it.
