Mesh Bags Protect Delicates in the Wash

The Problem

Bra hooks catch on everything, underwear disappears inside fitted sheets, delicate items get stretched and damaged.

The Hack

Place delicates inside mesh laundry bags (sold in multi-packs for $5-8). Zip the bag closed and wash as normal.

Why It Works

The mesh bag allows water and detergent to flow through while preventing items from tangling with other clothes or getting caught in the machine drum.

Pro Tips

  • One bag per bra to maintain shape
  • Use for socks to prevent losing singles
  • Also protects embellished or sequined items
  • Bags last for years — just wash them occasionally
