Do these bags help prevent mold? I have been having problems with mold growing on my homemade wheat bread loaves. Thank you!

Not that I am aware of only thing I have had to help is store in refrigerator. I make bagels and if you don't eat them all in a couple days you have to put them in refrigerator.

No. Had about six months and have not seen any mold. My husband thinks this is the best thing since sliced bread!

I live in pa where humidity can be high. They don't get damp or moldy. But I think your referring to "if they get wet" . I wouldn't get them wet. I'm sure after prolonged exposer to water or exposer to large amount of water... it would ruin them.

I haven't had a problem with the ones I ordered. I do not see any seams in the molds.

I have not had any problems with a mold smell. I wash my bags with some essential oils that disinfect. Doterra has one called onguard. Or tea tree with lemon. You can also spray them with hydrogen peroxcide that will disinfect them too. The instructions says to wash in cold water so they don't shrink. I have not had a problem. In Fact I have bought them 3 more times. I love them. As for flour I don't know. They do have a tight weave. I use them to store my veggies in. I hope this helps.

The dish cloth that I used last night was still damp this morning. This is not a concern for me as I use a clean one each day, but if you use the same dish cloth for a couple of days, I can understand a concern for bacteria growth. I often include these dish cloths as gifts and everyone loves them.

Umm, interesting! I left most of my products, cereals, crackers in their original wax type bags. For some cereals that I had placed into zip type bags, I buy what is cheap, on sale and mostly the freezer type, I just left them in those bags! I never had that issue nor did a friend of mine who also has a brisker.

I have kept some clothing in a wet/damp basement. I've never had an issue with having clothes retain any smells or mold getting into the bags. They do tear with heavy use (as does any bag) but usually can be repaired with packaging tape.

I haven't had any issues with mold/mildew. I switched to a mat but my daughter has stuck them to the wall of the shower and still no issues.

I bake a lot of "artisan "breads so i have 4-5 bags(20#&50#) because it's so much cheaper to buy in bulk that i must protect the flour. Using heavy garbage bags an really strong twist ties, I have no problems with bugs.

I had some left over last year, and kept them in a thicker zip top bag... they were still fine (soft and squishy) this year when I got them out to use. I wouldn't add any moisture, as what was in there seemed sufficient. I was concerned about mold, but didn't seem to have an issue with it.

I've never had any mold problems. I usually leave them, cuffs folded, on the edge of my sink for a short while to dry, then toss them under the sink, but when I'm in a hurry, they go right under the sink. No problems, and I've been using this brand for several years now.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.slipxsolutions.com/materials. I have had them since August, and haven't noticed any mold or mildew buildup. Hope this helps you find what you need to know.

These are not thick bags. I've been able to reuse some (after being used just at room temp) but I don't think they'd do a good job of protecting your loaf in the freezer (seriously, imagine a non-clingy plastic wrap--they're about that thick, not even as thick as a store-bought loaf bag).

I have a pack of store bought hot dogs buns in it that have been there 2 months! No mold - still soft. Home made breads (without preservatives) 2 weeks.

We live in Utah where we have next to no mold problem so that is not an issue. However I was raised in the northeast where it is a big problem. I would suggest wiping it out every few weeks according to your humidity, which is the big factor. Sorry I can't help more. Have a good day.

Yes but send them out for testing. It is my understanding there are all kinds of mold that can show up in the test sample. It can be harmless or harmfull. You cannot tell by just looking at it.
