Yes, but don't fret! Our hamprs are custom-designed with certified antimicrobial and water-resistant fabrics for long-lasting freshness. The antimicrobial protection layer contains an agent that kills microorganisms, or stops their growth. Your clothes are safe to be placed back in the hampr after their wash/dry/fold cycle!

If you're using 13-gal. kitchen bags, don't worry — your clothes will be returned in a new, fresh, unscented kitchen bag.
