I've been using reusable bags for years. Now I'm thinking about getting (or making) some that are machine-washable.

Reusable, wipe-able and washable for a complete cycle.

Those are nice. I'm always suspicious of that kind of handle attachment, though. If I made my own, the handle would go all the way around the bottom of the bag, or at least down to the bottom:
I have more fabric than I know what to do with, and I might get some time soon to sew.

My wife used to make purses for gifts and personal use . One of the things she did for longevity was to make an inner liner that was just a tad bigger than the outer shell . Helps keep the liner from getting holes .

The issue might not be your bag. It could very well be the person's bag ahead of you in line that contaminated every surface it touched. I am not really that worried but if you want to be like Trader and think there is a germ on everything we might touch, maybe you should be like him and hide under the bed for a month or two until this blows over. I wouldn't be surprised if stores started taking the Starbucks approach and banned reusable bags tho.

Or the canned goods that were on the shelf. Or the drippy package of chicken.
There are germs on everything. For the most part, they don't bother me. I observe the 5-second rule at home.
It can't hurt to wash my bags every now and again.

That is salmonella and E-coli. We have forgotten about them. ;-)
Just for that Salmonella and E-Coli if nothing else. I still use the one shot plastic bags and be sure they get into the trash, tied up in another one shot plastic bag. It is incinerator fuel to make electricity.

Been using them for years. Likely not washing them often enough though.

Isn't a copper bag a bucket?
I am not sure you will find much copper these days, the scrapper thieves stole it all 10 years ago and it was replaced with plastic or aluminum. I guess you could get some of that silver solution from Jim Bakker tho. ;-)
