FAQs
How long does the bread typically stay fresh?
When used correctly with an airtight seal, the bread bag can keep bread fresh for several days longer than traditional methods like paper bags or linen.
Can I put warm bread in the bag?
It is recommended to let bread cool to room temperature before placing it in the bag. Storing warm bread can create excess condensation inside the bag, potentially making the bread soggy.
What are the dimensions of the bread bag?
The bread bag measures 44cm x 35cm, providing ample space for most standard loaves.
Is the TPU lining safe for food contact?
Yes, the TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) lining is food-grade, BPA-free, and designed for safe contact with food.
How do I clean the bread bag?
The bread bag must be hand washed only with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.
Is the product packaging eco-friendly?
Yes, New Living uses no plastic in the packaging for this product, aligning with their commitment to environmental care.
What happens if I need to discard the bag?
The materials used are designed to biodegrade. The TPU lining is biodegradable within 3-5 years, and the cotton exterior is a natural product.
Troubleshooting
Bread still goes stale quickly.
Ensure the double drawstring is pulled completely tight to create an airtight seal. Check that the bread is fully cooled before storing. Make sure the TPU lining is clean and free from debris.
Bag has a slight odor.
Hand wash the bag with mild soap and water, ensuring the interior is thoroughly rinsed. Allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
TPU lining feels sticky or degraded.
This may indicate prolonged exposure to heat or harsh cleaning agents. Hand wash gently with cool water only and allow to air dry. If the degradation is severe, it may be time to replace the bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply place your bread inside the bag, ensuring it is cooled to room temperature if freshly baked. Pull both sides of the double drawstring firmly to create an airtight seal. The bag is ready for use immediately.
Compatibility: Suitable for most types of bread, including loaves, baguettes, rolls, and pastries. Ensure the bread fits comfortably within the 44x35cm dimensions.
Care: This bread bag is hand wash only. Use mild soap and cool water. Gently rinse the interior TPU lining and exterior cotton. Allow the bag to air dry completely before storing or reusing. Avoid using harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or machine washing, as these can damage the TPU lining and compromise the seal.
