Dishwasher: Prop open the bag, place it on the top shelf, and dry it with the air-dry setting. Keep bags clear of water jets to prevent bags from moving around and closing.
Ensure the bags have no moisture before storing them; otherwise, they will host mold/bacteria and become unsafe for food reuse.
How the bag is handled and used will impact the number of times it can be reused. Discard the bag if the plastic begins to break down, which you can see if the inner layer begins to separate, tear, or de-laminate.
