Maybe I'm missing something basic, but there seems to be some degree of both difficulty and concern, with keeping the strainer bag both clean and sanitary, in between uses.
Mine is made of cotton and it says to only use cold water to wash it. So it has to be washed by hand, and done so with care.
But the kava by nature, seems to want to stick to the bag due to it's sticky nature once it becomes wet.
And the bag by nature is absorbent to kava, as well.
So washing it completely clean seems like an industrious, time-consuming task.
Then there's the concern of possible bacteria buildup, since hot water cannot be used, and cold water doesn't kill germs effectively.
So how does everyone keep their bag clean, in the easiest and most effectively clean way ?
