Other than making you feel like you’re an adult who’s got your life together, mesh laundry bags for delicates are meant to protect clothing and fine fabrics from the harsh agitation of your washer. Delicates like silk, velvet, linen, lace, bras, and tights are all at risk of getting tangled and warped in the washer. Even hardier items such as socks and swimsuits are liable to get stretched out and a bit wonky during high-speed spin cycles too.
Enter the laundry bag. It’s a handy invention to remedy the wash cycle conundrum while keeping your stuff looking its best. Laundry bags are usually made of durable mesh or cotton, with either a zipper or drawstring closure, that keeps your clothes locked safely inside while they’re swished around in your washer.
Pillow cases are an okay substitute if you don’t have a laundry bag on hand, but they aren’t ideal. Laundry bags are specially crafted to stay closed while water and soap enter the fabric to thoroughly clean your delicate clothing. Pillowcases might pop open in the wash, leaving your vintage band tees and favorite silk trousers at the mercy of your washer. Why risk it?
You can absolutely put a laundry bag in the dryer! As with anything, check the fabric care tags first to be safe. In general, the majority of laundry bags are meant to be used in dryers as well as washers.
Dryers use high heat and agitation to get your clothes nice ‘n’ dry, but they can also cause damage to items that are made from sensitive fabrics or contain delicate elastics. After you’ve finished washing your clothes in a laundry bag, simply toss the bag into the dryer and tune it to your regular settings. Your clothes will come out clean, dry, and best of all — damage-free.
Unless the fabric care tag says otherwise, most laundry bags are 100% machine washable. They’re made from strong materials like polyester, nylon, cotton, or cotton blends that can be put through your washer over and over again without warping or shrinking.
Some fabrics can’t be machine washed, even if you put them inside a washable laundry bag. Items made from wool, cashmere, leather, or very old fabric — like that 1920’s cotton house dress from your grandma’s closet — are better off being hand washed in the tub or taken to a professional dry cleaner.
