    Learn More About Laundry Bags

    A laundry bag is made of durable fabric and holds at least one load of dirty or clean laundry. A wash bag is a smaller, mesh laundry bag used in the washing machine to safely clean delicate fabrics like undergarments, lace items, or vintage linens. Laundry bags are most often used to collect or transport laundry, while a mesh laundry bag for delicates keeps Grandma's embroidered tablecloth intact through a wash cycle.


    Both laundry bags and wash bags take some of the hassle out of laundry day, whether at the laundromat, a vacation spot, or as part of your laundry room organization system at home.

    Consider the following when choosing your next laundry bag:


    • Material: No matter how you plan to use your laundry bag, you’ll want a material that withstands heavy use. A heavy-duty laundry bag made from canvas, burlap, or reinforced nylon is ideal for dorm rooms, apartments, or traveling. A cotton laundry bag is perfect for individual bedrooms or bathrooms. A canvas laundry bag is a life-saver while on the road for an extended trip.
    • Size: Think about how often you do laundry and how many people you’re doing laundry for when choosing a size. Large laundry bags are helpful if you only make it to the laundromat once every few weeks. Small laundry bags are great for toddler rooms, single-person households, or families that do laundry throughout the week.
    • Portability: Many laundry bags feature handles, straps, and drawstrings. If you need to carry your laundry from place to place, look for a bag with comfortable straps. A shoulder laundry bag with backpack straps makes the next trip to the washing machine more manageable.
    • Extra features: A laundry bag with a convenient side pocket for detergent makes transporting it quick and easy. A freestanding laundry bag provides a way to personalize and separate each family member’s washing.

    Sometimes the most thoughtful gifts tend to be items easily incorporated into everyday life. A graduate headed off to college will be thankful for an extra-large laundry bag for lugging dirty clothes back to Mom’s house. A monogrammed laundry bag makes a simple, elegant wedding present that will see weekly use for years to come. An embroidered laundry bag offers a familiar piece of home for a friend on a camping trip. Make an everyday, ordinary chore something special with a unique laundry bag from the sellers on Etsy.
