A good tip is if you are using a drainable bag, when you open a new box of 10, seal them all right away. I know some people have forgotten to seal the bag when putting it on, and it's a very messy way to find out. Also, when I empty my bag, I also pour about half a cup of water inside and swish it around to clean it and then let it go. The best container to use to pour the water in is the little cup you get to fill your steam iron; it has a nice spout to direct the water into the bag. Have a great New Year. IGGIE
