Setup
First Use Preparation
Before using your FLIP AND TUMBLE Reusable Produce Bags for the first time, it is recommended to wash them. This ensures cleanliness and removes any manufacturing residues.
- Place the produce bags into a washing machine.
- Wash with a medium heat cycle, preferably with kitchen towels or similar items.
- Air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. The bags dry quickly.
Operating Instructions
Using for Produce
These bags are designed to replace single-use plastic bags for fruits and vegetables. Each bag measures 12 by 14 inches and is ultra-lightweight at approximately 0.4 ounces, minimizing added weight to your produce. The translucent mesh allows contents to be visible, aiding in identification at checkout.
- Selection: Choose the appropriate bag for your produce. The set includes color-coded tags for easy organization.
- Filling: Place fruits or vegetables directly into the bag. The drawstring closure secures the contents.
- Checkout: The translucent material generally allows cashiers to identify contents. For items with barcodes, it may be necessary to briefly remove the item for scanning.

Multipurpose Use
Beyond produce, these bags are versatile for various organizational needs:
- Travel: Use as packing bags for toiletries, shoes, or small clothing items.
- Home Organization: Ideal for organizing toys, craft supplies, or other small household items.
- Nut Milk Bags: Can serve as effective nut milk bags.

Maintenance
Cleaning Instructions
The FLIP AND TUMBLE Reusable Produce Bags are designed for easy cleaning to ensure hygiene and longevity.
- Machine Wash: Bags are machine washable. Use a medium heat cycle.
- Hand Wash (Optional): For thorough cleaning, soak bags in hot soapy water (turned inside out), scrub gently, then rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Bags dry quickly.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains or mold, a small amount of bleach can be used during soaking, followed by thorough rinsing.

Troubleshooting
- Issue: Barcodes are difficult to scan through the bag.
Solution: While the bags are translucent, the mesh weave can sometimes obscure barcodes. If a cashier has difficulty scanning, simply remove the item from the bag for scanning, then return it. Informing the cashier about the contents can also expedite the process. - Issue: Produce stickers leave sticky residue on the bags.
Solution: If a produce sticker adheres to the bag, the sticky residue can usually be removed using a small amount of cooking oil or a standard sticker residue remover. Apply, let sit briefly, then gently rub off and wash the bag as usual. - Issue: Produce wilts quickly when stored in the bags.
Solution: These mesh bags are designed for transport and temporary storage, allowing for air circulation. They are not airtight and do not preserve produce in the same way as sealed containers or refrigeration. For optimal freshness, store produce appropriately (e.g., in the refrigerator, crisper drawers) after bringing it home, rather than solely relying on the mesh bags for long-term preservation.
