    Default Sap Saks: Wash or Buy New Each Season?

    I'll be putting out about 200 blue sap saks this season. I used the saks in 2016 and should be is useable shape except I am wondering if I can wash them or should I buy new. I've got plenty of time so that's not a factor.

    If washable, how?

    Buy new ones, they aren't meant to be reused.

    Yeah, use new ones. A big advantage of bags is not having to bother cleaning them...

    IF you have time and want to wash them, I'd just get buckets if I was you.
