Blue Roads
Kava Enthusiast
I used aluballs for a long time and after having several highly-stained balls where the mesh was completely clogged up, I found a way to wash my balls so they would last longer.
I'm doing traditional prep now and I will usually wash the bag at the end of an evening. At times I have washed the bag and then used it shortly afterwards, and the kava always tasted funny, which I'm guessing is from not rinsing out the soap very well. I was using Dawn dish soap, but I also have Ivory dish soap for cleaning my cpap components, and switching to that seemed to help it rinse out more easily. I also will use a bowl and keep filling it with water while agitating the bag in the water, dumping out the bowl, wringing the bag, and then rinsing it a few more times that way until I don't see any more soap suds. Almost makes me wish I had some kind of miniature washing machine that could take it through a rinse and spin cycle.
What do you all do to wash your bags and get them rinsed out thoroughly?
