Are these bags usable in the dryer if I were to put lavender buds in them?

I would think so. They are cotton Muslin and I don't see how the dryer would affect them.

I would think so. You might want to use a rubber band around the opening instead of relying on the drawstring so that you don't have to undo a hard knot to refill (or have it come open during tumbling).

Maybe. If the strings were tucked inside and placed in a "delicates" bag. I have only used them for broths and stocks. You might could even take the string out and replace with velcro.

Absolutely. The fabric is really tightly woven mesh so the holes are tiny unlike typical bags. I wash sweaters in here, tights and panty hose, sweaters, lacy items etc; all come out fine. You'll love these.

I'm sorry that I can't answer that, as I have not used the hedgehogs in the washing machine. I seem to recall the box said to use them in the dryer.I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to find out for certain.

I think so, but I avoid putting wet vegetables into these bags...I mostly use them for fruit, onions, tomatoes, avocados, things like that. They are washable, of course, but wetness will leak through the mesh.

You have to wash them to keep any smells away but I have found that with all the bags I use. THey do shrink if you put them in the dryer. I made that mistake. If you wash in cold water and no dryer they are fine. I have not used them for dry goods so I don't know about the flour.

Do NOT dry them in the dryer. Dry them in the open air. The heat from the dryer will destroy the way they work.

I would have to say yes. I toss my baggies in the household garbage until trash day and there is no odor. Even on the occasion the disposal truck does not come, there is no odor from the bin. That lavender scent is pleasantly "too strong". I'd say these bags are money well spent.

I haven't used them in the dry, just in the washing machine. Though I would say yes that there shouldn't be a problem using in the dryer.

No, just reseal the bag so they don't dry out. I have had some that were good after several months.

I think you ask whether the bag can go into the dryer? Yes, I have placed delicated tops inside the mesh bag in the dryer.

The bags are made of a loosely woven cotton so they would not maintain a humid environment, if that is what you're looking for. I use them to hold potatoes in my pantry where I don't want them to maintain humidity.

Yes. You should do that anyway. Unless I'm doing load after load, I hang the bags up to dry after a load of washing.

I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to do that but it is not really necessary since they are dried out and not prone to mold, etc. I have had the same bag for over a year and they are totally fine and just as fresh as when I got them. I just close it up really well and then stick the sack into another bag and keep that closed up good also. That's all you need to do.

Yes, wash them with like fabrics such as workout clothes, nothing with cotton in it and then hang dry. They can be used a very long time until they need to be washed.

You can wash and reuse these bags. I probably would not if you used the bag in the microwave or boil it. That's just me.

That has never happened to me when I washed them in the bag but I have more often than not washed them outside the net bag but I put them in the bag for drying because they cling to things in the dryer but I have thought that they may not get enough swishing in the washer in the bag

I suppose if you were very careful with a hand washing and didn't "soak" them you could but I would not recommend it. They are a flimsy material and I think they would shrink while drying.
