Abstract:
A device for washing a reusable storage bag in a dishwasher formed by a frame assembly of one or more main bar(s) joined with one or more connecting bar(s). Intersecting crossbars act both to spread open the bag and hold it for washing, utilizing a snugness of fit between the crossbars and the bag and its sealing strips. The device has holes in the bottom of the main bar(s), which allow it to be placed and secured onto any of the vertically oriented branches of the dish trays common to conventional dishwashing machines. The device is designed to hold and spread the bag apart wide enough to allow the washing jets of a conventional dishwasher to reach even the corners of the bag, thereby cleaning it inside and out.
