I never do anything to my grain bags. I was always taught that whatever goes into the pot doesn't need sanitizing because we boil it anyway. After use, I just wash them out with plain water.

Boil new bag in water for a few minutes. Dry in microwave. Clean. Sterile. Done. Repeat for next use.

No soap. Don't weaken them in the sun. Just drop in PBW for at least 1/2hr. Rinse in hot water (at least as hot as the water was when you started soaking it). Drip dry

A good old fashioned hot water soak, a brewing sanitiser and sun bleach to dry will do the trick. Sometimes that plastic smell you describe is impossible to completely get rid of though. At least you can remove any surface residues from the plastic though.

Toss them in the laundry with your whites. No farbric softner. Then air dry.
