How do I Clean up leaky bags
1803980
OMG, I have never had one leak. Probably used 40 of these too. If liquid leak gin, it is just water, pulled from the air. If it is the crystals, I would just sweep up and put in trash. Since the entire bag, once used, goes in the trash, I expect the ingredients may as well.

Yes, never had bag leak either. Dispose of the bag(s), but keep the boxes and contact the manufacturer. I'm sure they will reimburse you or send more or something. The top part of the item is supposed to attract moisture, then the water collects in the bottom part. Nothing is supposed to come out of the bag.

You simply spray water from a garden hose onto the flat bag. They gradually swell up with a gel type filler. Mine have been inside a block and slab area for three weeks and haven 't needed to be re activated yet. I think they will be the answer to my problem.

I emailed the vendor and this was his response.You can do this in 3 easy steps:1. Empty nut, veggie or fruit pulp into another bag or container.2. Wash the bag completely under running warm water.3. Hang to air dry. Thats it. For stubborn stains, soak the bag in GSE (grapefruit seed extract) and water.

This can be remedied very easily. Purchase the largest size (50 or more gallon) heavy trash bags...my preference is the type that is rolled or box, of at least 20. Stretch top OVER outside upper rim, thence tighten the plastic string that is usually made to tighten top of bag when full. Day that Trash is picked up, lift from the outside rim, and tie well. The Toter will stay clean, and this will assist with "odors". I also use a scent that is taped onto inside of the lid...lemon is my favorite...as most receptacles are not well taken care of.Mine is an investment ... so it is treated as such. Excellent quality and time saver. Hope this supplies a solution. Good Luck! Chris This can be remedied very easily.

Place items in the bag, "zip" the bag shut, then attach a vacuum to the bag (circular plastic thing), and turn on the vacuum - the vacuum sucks all the air out.

Margaret:I would have no idea how to get your bag undone, sounds like you will need a new sealing strip when it is all over. I have never had that happen in all my years of using vac sealers. sorry that is all I can offer

If your bags are losing pressure, there must be a pin hole in the bags, that's why the bags doen't seal properly. If there is any type of liquid, this can happen. I noticed this , so I bought the bags with the liquid absorbing pad attached to them. Hope this helps.

Sounds as though you are looking at the top of the bag, Mimi. There should also be a tube at the bottom of the bag with a clamp attached to the drainage hose that you can release. The drainage hose on the one we have is green and has a white clamp - the hose tucks into a clear plastic thing that is permanently attached to the bottom of the bag. Hope this helps.

Sorry but I haven't cleaned it. I just turn it upside down and dump anything left in it out before I fill it up.

So once u remove the "bag" portion undue the clip at the bottom dump into your trash then grab the iner plastic filter twist and remove to fully clear canister. Also unclip to filter at the bottom of the cans where it clips in and shake it out the rinse with water. Hour this helps it took me forever to find all the parts that come apart

You can definitely use the ziplock-and-squeeze approach. And you'll need to do that if there's a lot of liquid in the bag. I just think that vacuum sealers are cool.

A "Bagged" cleaner when full requires you remove the full bag and dispose of it and its contents. Replace with a new bag and your good to go. "Bagless" cleaners go something like this: Open unit, remove full bin. Empty the bin into the trash (this is an excellent opportunity to review all the dirt and junk you vacuumed since the last refresh). Pull pre-filter. Clean this filter. Pull primary filter. Clean this filter with the little supplied brush and wedge tool to get in between the filter pleats. Reassemble all these parts and you're good to go. Oh, did I mention doing this procedure outside or in your garage due to all the dust you're going to kick up in the process. Wear a mask. Gloves aren't a bad idea either unless you like handling all of last months dirt and dust which is on everything. Your choice.

Denture cleaning tablets or a vinegar+water solution works for cleaning the bag.

I seal anything with some liquid that could get sucked up in another bag first. I either use a cheap zip-lock bag & push the air out of it, or a regular food storage bag and do the same push the air out and twist it, then put it in the Waring bags & seal it. This keeps the liquids from being vacuumed into the machine, or at least you can see it seeping out & can stop before they start seeping up to the vacuum. I usually get a pretty good seal before that happens. This makes cleaning your resealable bags easier.

Depending on how dirty they are, you can either hose them down or just use a wet rag to wipe them down. Very easy to clean.

Try using rubbing alcohol. I use it for a lot of stuff and I have also used it to clean off the sticky stuff from the back of things. Hope this works for ya.

No, mine didn't leak. I did end up buying compostable bags, though, because the inside got smelly and gross.
