      • I bought cheap initially and tried the pressure washer… nope.

        The laundromat across the river was none too pleased with that stroke of genius I had either.

        I use Panda bags and little one gallon fabric a lot now but for my big 5 & 7 gallon ACI, I now let them dry out for a couple of weeks and mist them with a bit of diluted Cannazym and after they dry again, throw them down hard and it’ll all fall off.

        • I reuse mine, material/brand dependant. Felt ones(smartpots, i dont reuse). Canvas ones I do reuse- after use i rinse with strong hose first, then i take some hot water and blue dawn and give it a good deuch, let dry and use it again.

          • Reuse. I hand wash with dish soap, couple hours soak in a 10% bleach water bucket, rinse and drip dry.

            • That sounds like a good idea. THANK YOU

              • Call me lazy but I just reuse as is, no washing. I guess it might be useful to wash if you were having issues with root pathogens or pests, but otherwise I don’t see the need. Either way unless they are damaged you can reuse fabric pots many times.
