After I wash my lettuce I do not put it into anything plastic. For a head of 
iceberg lettuce, I simply wrap it in a long piece of paper towel. For Romain 
lettuce I wash only what I intend to use. If I have leftover washed Romain I 
lay it out on a paper towel and roll up the paper towel so that no more than 
two pieces of romaine or side-by-side in the role. As mentioned earlier, I can 
reuse this to wrap up the next batch because it is not dirty there was only 
clean Romain in these layers of paper towels. Finally, for those prewashed and 
bagged lettuce is and salad green mixes, naturally I do wash them and then I 
lay them out to dry and again, I store them wrapped up in a paper towel in my 
refrigerator crisper box. Plastic is the enemy of produce <smile>
