i dont know if this is the same programme as you are all talking about

and i thought they were freaks at the time :rotfl: i was a teenager0 -

What temperature do you wash them at housemouse?
I rinse mine in hot water and always have them festooned about the kitchen or on the line outside.0 -
it tends to be on a cooler wash with not too manky teatowels that I have had wrapped around loaves of bread. I wouldnt try on anything too hot or a highly coloured wash as it might melt. I have found that the writing comes off and I only do it with bags that have had anything but meat in. Those get chucked in the bin.0
