Of course you can reuse the same pods. Typically if they're plastic I will wipe them down and sterilize them with a diluted version of alcohol. And if they are bags that are fabric you can simply wash them fish your washing machine. Just make sure you only use a couple drops of Dawn and then rinse them manually a few times before letting them dry. Ever use mine so many times.

I haven't been reusing all my pots, but most of my smaller 5-gallon pots are being retired and reused in the outside garden for peppers and toehr veggies. I reused one of my 50 gallons and didn't even wash it in between no issues.

lol i don't even use soap. i just take a slightly coarse rag and a garden hose and wipe them down. (plastic nursery pots) fabric pots have additional concerns. Might want to give them more attention to strip away at least most of the buildup of minerals that solidified as the water evaporated. I quit using fabric solely for this reason. I wasn't very steadfast at cleaning them but had no problems after 4 or 5 uses with plenty of buildup on the sides. I did try to soak them inbetween uses but it never got them clean. heck, if it doesn't easily go back into solution it can't do much to the roots either, lol. Maybe my concern was for naught. Soaking at least gets the stuff that is soluble off the fabric or reduced enough. Anything insoluble is less of a concern.

I just wash them off and spray with bleach water. Rise and let dry. Never an issue.

Give em a good wash and they should be ok. I reuse mine after doing a nice soapy water mix and bleach/peroxide dip to help kill off any pathogens.

Definitely! Plastic are easy to clean. I personally shy away from re-using fabric pots. But it can be done.
