I read about this trick a while ago.......too bad I put my salad spinner in a yard sale cuz' I didn't use it very much. Now I wish I had it! I can't tell my DH who is a hoarder tho', cuz' all I would hear is ' You ALWAYS do that, when are you every going to learn to hang on to things'!......moan

I use a mesh laundry bag but that is a great idea if you have a salad spinner

I just laid Bali Pop strips in sink with Retayne and super hot water. Then pressed up and down on then. It took several washes to get them to quit bleeding. Then I put them into the salad spinner and hung them on clothes drying rack to dry. I handled them very carefully to avoid stretching edges. They dried quickly after being in salad spinner, very little or no fraying. Just be sure to put them into salad spinner NOT salad shooter :)
