So I purchased some lovely hot/cold bags from Etsy.com and it is filled with rice and flaxseed + eucalyptus, lavender and chamomile oils and leaves.
Now, I purchased two of them because I intended one to be stored in the freezer for my migraines and the other to be used as needed by heating. (You can microwave them for 40 seconds and it helps drain sinuses).
The only issue was, I noticed it didn't have a removable rice pack. It's sealed and sealed for good... So... can you wash these? Will rice last through a 15 minute wash in the washer machine without growing mold OR will it grow mold on its own from regular usage?
I probably sound stupid for asking this but I never really stopped to think about it.
