Abstract: The introduction of reusable grocery bags has lead to contamination of these bags by bacteria, virus and E-coli. A steam sterilization and disinfection device is described including a chamber that will contain the reusable grocery bag while it undergoes steam cleaning and disinfection. The reusable grocery bag will be fitted. over a mandrel that will direct the steam to the inside surfaces of the bag. The cleaning chamber will have a cover door (10) such that the bag will be enclosed during the cleaning process. Additional attributes include 2 steam generators (2), electronic control system (5), water tank (3) supplying the steam generators, high pressure pump (7) to charge the steam generators, vacuum pump (9) to evacuate the steam after cleaning and disinfection, and refuse water tank (4) to contain the contaminated water after cleaning.
