Abstract: An apparatus is provided for use in the cleaning of a plastic bag. The apparatus comprises a base structure which contains an opening for allowing fluid to pass therethrough. A bag support structure extends from the base structure, and is configured to support a plastic bag in such an orientation that the opening of the bag is in fluid communication with the opening of the base structure. The bag support structure is also configured to keep the opening of the bag open to permit a flow of fluid into and out of the bag. Clips or other retaining devices are also included for retaining the plastic bag on the support structure. In operation, fluid is permitted to pass through the base structure and flow into the plastic bag, and then flow back out of the bag and pass back through the base structure.
