For years my sister-in-law reused her plastic bags and I thought she was nuts. Over time, she accumulated a over a million dollars by being frugal. However, everytime I went to her house, she had these plastic bags hanging over her faucet in the kitchen and it took forever for them to dry. Now, they dry in 10 minutes and she doesn’t have to end up drying them by hand. I also have one and love it for drying plastic bottles that I reuse. Of course it’s also a conversation piece because everyone that walks in the door asks “what is that”. I love it and have started reusing my plastic bags too. That way they don’t end up in the land fill.

I don’t know if my small effort to keep my plastic bags out of the landfill a bit longer makes any real difference to the environment, but I figure if I do it … and someone else does it … and then 1,000 or so other people begin doing it … a real difference will eventually be made.
A friend of mine has had this for years, and I finally did an online search and found it here. The price seemed kind of silly to me, especially since I’ve had to really watch my spending lately, but there just wasn’t a good substitute at home. In short, this product works well, it’s easy to use, easy to store and has turned me from someone who “should” re-use plastic bags into someone who DOES re-use plastic bags. So, it’s been worth it. I’m glad I bought it.

Now that I’ve used the bag dryer for three months, I’ve really come to appreciate it. Not only does it work well for drying bags, it’s also great for letting water bottles hang to dry, and for drying the rubber gloves I wear for dishwashing. I’ve even been rinsing and re-using the produce and bulk-bin bags from the grocery store. It’s a great little tool.

I had been drying my plastic bags on whatever I could find around the house to hold them upside down and opened enough for the air to circulate in them. But one day I spied this gadget. Although it was pricey, I decided to give it a try. Am I glad I did!
This dryer holds the bags at the perfect angle so the water drips out, but the weight of the bag does not tip the dryer over. Although it’s advertised as a bag dryer, I would imagine you could dry mittens or plastic baby bottles on it as well. The center dowel could hold those larger reusable water bottles/canteens that you don’t want to put in the dishwasher.
This dryer is attractive sitting on the countertop. I love the fact that’s made out of wood (birch and ash) instead of plastic or metal.
I am happy with this purchase and will be giving these as gifts to my friends this year!

I ordered this for a good friend of mine who hung bags all over to dry them. He is very environmentally conscience and liked to reuse as many bags as he could before having to throw them away. This item gave him a very easy way to dry them after they were rinsed. He says it’s easy to store when he’s done with it. He says it is sturdy, attractive and practical. His only regret is that he doesn’t have more of them…
It’s not good for big bags
