Laundry bags - review and recommendations

Laundry bagMachine washing has made life much easier for women, especially in large families with many children. However, despite all the convenience of machine washing, it can have a negative impact on the quality of clothes. Knitted items stretch, pills form, and items may lose shape.

To avoid these and other troubles, it is necessary to use bags for washing clothes. Forgotten items in pockets, torn buttons, small items (socks, handkerchiefs) falling outside the drum can cause a lot of problems. Starting from lengthy, unpredictable self-repairs to contacting a specialized workshop.

Why are bags needed?

Washing in special bags has many advantages, despite the fact that they are inexpensive and accessible. There is even a bag for washing sneakers on sale.

The use of bags in the washing process has undeniable advantages:

  1. Things placed in a special bag do not lose their shape.
  2. Small items of laundry do not get lost.
  3. There are bags for underwear and bags for sports shoes.
  4. The safety of the automatic machine is ensured.
  5. Saving money and time.

Various things, when washed, sometimes lose their qualities and properties. The main part of any person's wardrobe consists of knitted items, which are the most vulnerable. Knitted items, underwear, textile shoes, and clothes with accessories can become stretched out, change shape, and completely deteriorate. Hard spin mode also negatively affects outerwear. The laundry bag significantly reduces the level of exposure to clothing. Machine wash in a bag is comparable in delicacy to hand wash.

By placing things in a special bag, it is impossible to lose a handkerchief or sock at the end of washing. And various small objects forgotten in pockets will not damage the drum, will not leave scratches on it, will not leave its space and will not render the machine unusable. Using a bag for washing sneakers makes it possible not to worry that when they hit the walls of the drum, they can cause the breakdown of individual parts of the machine. All linen retains its original shape and appearance.

Types of bags

Washing bagThere are several types of bags on sale that are designed for washing certain types of laundry. They are divided depending on:

  • shapes and sizes;
  • the material from which it is made;
  • type of lock.

The most common bags are made from durable nylon fibers. This type of material can withstand high temperatures, is wear-resistant and durable, and environmentally friendly. The laundry bag remains unchanged after repeated use. The structure of the material is either solid or fine-mesh.

The shape of the bags is usually used to ensure that things rotate freely, ensuring complete rinsing and significant spinning.

The most common forms:

  • cubic and square;
  • spherical and in the form of a circle;
  • cylindrical and rectangular, prismatic.

The bra washing bag, for the most gentle washing, is equipped with plastic “ribs” that guarantee the preservation of the original shape and quality. Such bags protect very thin fabrics, handmade items, and prevent stretching, twisting, and any damage.

It is better to have several products for different types of linen and clothing, their sizes. Washing bags for bras are not suitable for outerwear and vice versa. Lower toilet items are usually washed in small batches and there is no need for large bags here. The bag can be closed with a zipper, tied or tightened with a drawstring. Almost simultaneously with the advent of automatic machines, these washing devices began to be used everywhere.

Recommendations for use

A few tips

Based on the feedback about laundry bags for bras, outerwear, and various toiletry items, some conclusions arise:

  1. Volume-shaped bags are very popular. Toilet items are rinsed better in them and do not curl.
  2. Bags with zippers can be unfastened. The fastener, in the form of an elastic band, prevents it from unfastening.
  3. To maintain the shape of lower toilet items, they must be placed in bags with 6-8 plastic “ribs”. This bag does not deform and ensures gentle washing.
