Laundry day can be stressful enough without dealing with tangled straps, missing socks, or delicate fabrics getting ruined in the wash. One of the simplest solutions? A mesh laundry bag.
At Willard Wash Laundromat, we’ve seen how mesh bags save time, prevent damage, and make laundry easier to manage. Whether you’re washing at home or bringing laundry to us, this is a tip worth trying.
Protects Delicates
Bras, lingerie, and other fragile fabrics can easily snag or stretch during a wash cycle. A mesh bag keeps them protected while still allowing water and detergent to flow through.
Keeps Socks Together
Everyone knows the frustration of a missing sock. Mesh bags keep pairs together, so they come out of the wash just like they went in.
Prevents Tangles
Straps from camisoles, sports bras, or baby clothes love to wrap around other laundry items. A mesh bag keeps everything contained and tangle-free.
Small or delicate items: socks, underwear, lingerie, baby clothes
Workout gear: stretchy fabrics like activewear
Special fabrics: anything prone to snagging or shrinking
Simply place items inside, zip the bag closed, and toss it into the washer or dryer with your regular load.
While mesh bags are most helpful at home, they’re also a great way to keep items organized when you use our self-serve or wash-and-fold services. And with our well-maintained machines, you can trust your laundry is always in good hands.
The bottom line: A mesh bag is a small investment that saves clothes, saves time, and saves stress on laundry day.
Too Much Soap Can Actually Make Your Laundry Dirtier
When it comes to laundry, more isn’t always better — especially when it comes to detergent. It’s a common mistake: you see heavily soiled clothes or a big load and think “a little extra soap will help.” But using too much detergent can actually work against you.
