Uses for Mesh Laundry Bags

Mesh laundry bags are an inexpensive and helpful laundry tool. Here are several reasons why you should have a few on hand when doing your home laundry:

• To avoid stretched straps or having hooks damage other garments in the same load, place your unmentionables in a mesh laundry bag before placing them in the washing machine.
• Do away with lost socks by placing socks in mesh laundry bags before washing.
• Avoid having to hand wash certain garments by placing the item in a mesh laundry bag on the ‘hand wash’ cycle using cold water.One note here – this may not work with all garments.Be sure to check the care label before attempting.
• Save delicate fabrics from developing snags by placing them in mesh laundry bags before washing.This is especially true when doing a mixed weight load.

Here are a few suggestions to help you when you go out to purchase or are using your mesh laundry bags:

• Avoid purchasing bags with draw strings. The strings can easily get wrapped up and tangled.Choose bags with zippers instead.
• Be sure to not overfill your bag.Garments need to be able to move around to get clean.
• Have a couple different sized bags on hand.You don’t want to throw one small thing into an extra-large bag, and likewise, you don’t want to have to stuff something large into a small bag.Plus, once you make a habit to start using the bags, you’ll find that you will end up needing more than one.
