Do these bags shed fibers, and do they smell?

We used these bags as 'goody bags' for out of town guest at the hotel when our son was married. We wanted something different, not the usual gift bags. They are sturdy, don't shed & have no odor. They have a nice drawstring for closure. Very nice bags, not your typical lightweight burlap you find at craft stores.

I was worried about that too, but no. They did have a smell for a couple days, but nothing too overwhelming. Now they are odorless.

I have ordered these bags twice and am very pleased with them. I cannot speak to any other than those I've used but cannot imagine them differing. Regarding odors, I notice no odor at all, and I have a very sensitive "sniffer". (lol). I use them for home-made bread, take them to others, freeze, thaw, have had no problems. I keep them ready to re-order in my Amazon account as I use them nearly daily!

Since I just purchased them I have not. But seeing that the the bags are used to keep silver from tarnishing,I would assume it is in the fabric and I would not wash it. Hope that helps. M

we have not noticed any kind of smell, but I do use these as floor pillows, so not used often

They do not. They are simply very heavy plastic bags that fit my Kitchenaid compactor perfectly. My compactor does have some sort of odor control feature but I have never used it.......the bag is changed weekly (sometimes more frequently) and I can't stand those artificial perfumes.

No. But they are good bags and my wife and I are going to order more. Very satisfied customers.

yes, you do. I break them up and place them in the bags. But you don't have to. they have a good scent, and are not overpowering.

Yes - they smell. OK for garage, but in a small room, you can't put more than two or you will notice.

There were directions? Sorry, I just put the clothes, or blankets/towels in the bags and used a vacuum to seal them off. The smell wasn't 'musty', but smelled of the plastic chemical. They did wash out with only one washing in the washing machine, but inconvenient to have to wash perfectly clean clothes. And an FYI. I use these while traveling since I have a small car and need the space. I find if the bags are deflated and left in one place, they do better than if you have to move them around. Seems they do not do well with much moving around. Only the slightest micro tear will cause this to be null and void for why you bought it. There were directions?

No it doesn't smell that strong. I don't notice any odor at all in the closet & really none on what's stored in the bag. I noticed odor only when I first opened it.

Hi, the bags are thinner than a plastic grocery bag but thick enough that I haven't had a bag tear on me... and nothing's leaked on me either!

After having the bag in my closet for a few months now, any manufacturing and packaging odors have faded. If I hold the bag up to my nose there's a lingering scent similar to mothballs. No, I don't keep mothballs in the closet.

I'm not sure. The bags are soft and I use them for bread. There isn't any odor to them as there is with a polypropylene trash bag. I like them!

No, no smell at all! These are heavy duty too! I could not be more happy with my purchase.

No. I do not ever smell them. They are kind of like wood pellets. The urine goes threw with no absorption.

No, the fibers are treated with a wax like substance that attracts the dust and dirt. In fact, it gets better with use.
