How do you clean up your "baking mess"?
Bags? Tips? Pans? etc.

Not sure if it's from being so busy, or just lazy, but I give my icing bags a light washing by hand and then toss then in laundry washing machine with my bleach load of kitchen towels. Super clean and very white too... but don't add fabric softener to this load!
I wash my tips with the tips brush to get excess icing out and then I put them in one of those baskets for washing baby bottle parts. Sparkling clean every time!
I'm am a total germ freak, so I run mine through the dishwasher... I know, I know... you're supposed to hand wash them, but I just worry that there might be germs left on the pans. ~ Trish

I reuse disposable bags for buttercream, reserving my featherweight bags for royal icing only. I keep my water heater up to the highest temperature, the water is so hot you can get a serious burn if you're not careful. I wash my bags couplers and tips by hand in very soapy water. I use a tip brush for the tips and also for the small opening of the bags. I have a large pot filled with the hot water and let them sit in that until it cools. Then I rinse them again in running water. I'm kind of a fanatic about getting all traces of everything off my pans, I hate to use a pan with that brown buildup. The dish soap with the oxy clean stuff in it works very well. I even found some of it at the 99 cent store that works as well as the name brand. ~ Bitte

I use a baby nipple brush and the brush that came with my cake tips kit then
run the tips and couplers through the dishwasher. I only use the disposable
bags or make parchment bags for color flow and sometimes royal. I'm sort of
germ freak myself. ~ Erin
