How to Clean and Store Your Straw Pack Pouch

Quick answer

Hand wash your Straw Pack Pouch with mild soap and warm water, then air dry completely before storing in a cool, dry place. Avoid machine washing and direct sunlight.

Step-by-step cleaning and storage guide

1. Empty the pouch completely: Remove all straws and the cleaning brush. Shake out any loose debris or crumbs. Check the interior corners for trapped particles. Leaving debris inside can cause stains or odors—always empty before washing.
2. Hand wash with mild soap: Fill a basin with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Submerge the pouch and gently scrub the inside and outside with a soft cloth or sponge. Pay extra attention to the seams and closure area. Do not machine wash or use bleach, as harsh agitation can damage the ECORPET® fabric.
3. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the pouch under cool running water until all soap residue is gone. Squeeze gently to remove excess water—do not wring or twist. Soap residue can attract dirt and cause skin irritation if you handle the pouch while using straws.
4. Air dry completely: Turn the pouch inside out (if possible) and hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is fully dry before storing, which may take several hours. Storing a damp pouch is the most common cause of mildew—never seal it while wet.
5. Store in a cool, dry place: Once dry, fold the pouch flat and place it in a drawer or bag where it won't be crushed. Avoid storing near heat sources or in humid bathrooms. Excess heat or humidity can degrade the recycled material over time.
