    Rinse them out well, then hang them upside down over the air conditioner or heater vent in one of your rooms. This takes a few days usually, but gets them completely dry. If you pack them away with moisture in them, it seems like you will have mold problems.

    When I get home I fill mine with some water (1/3 full maybe), add a tiny bit of bleach, put the lid on, shake it up, empty, rinse, repeat until you're satisfied it's not bleachy. Mine are bottles, not bags (Platy and the Sawyer Squeeze bags) so you can get them to stay open and stand up. I just leave them sit on the kitchen counter until they are pretty much dry.

    I usually just put some water in it, a little dish soap, and shake it up. Then rinse it out, puff it open by blowing on it and then prop it upside down on a towel to dry with the lid off. Takes about two days to dry, but it's bone dry and I've never had any problems after years of using platy bottles. No need to rub, scrub, or buy anything.
