    Any ideas? I went to my parents' for the weekend, and when I went to bed last night I realized that the bag in the drawer containing my PJ's was never resealed after I packed (though it was tucked in). Obviously I'll have to throw the contents in the dryer, but is there any way to treat the bag? I'd rather not waste the XL ziploc that the clothes are currently in >.<*

    Hmm...thorough visual inspection? You have the advantage of it being totally see-through. I wonder if soaking it in hot water for a few minutes would work or would it damage the bag?

    I would think that dunking it in really hot water would work. You can get water to "instant kill" temperatures. Leave in for a few minutes anyway making sure they're submerged.
