The correct way to use laundry bags. The advantages and disadvantages of laundry bags

Washing some clothes in a laundry bag can effectively prevent them from deforming. What is the correct way to use this laundry bag? What are the advantages and disadvantages of washing clothes with a laundry bag?

How to use laundry bags correctly

1. The use of a laundry bag generally depends on the mesh size and the corresponding clothes to be washed.

2. Before washing clothes, take 1-2 minutes to put the clothes to be washed into the laundry bag. Choose different laundry bags according to the size of the clothes, and put 1-3 pieces of clothes in one laundry bag. You no longer have to worry about the clothes getting tangled after washing, and you don't have to worry about the clothes being torn.

3. How to use the two types of laundry bags: They are made of breathable and microporous material. Put underwear, sweaters or other items that are afraid of deformation into them, zip them up, and put them into the washing machine for washing.

4. Bags made of polyester mesh or mesh nylon (a bit like the material of mosquito nets), which can be used to dry sweaters or wash underwear. They can be used to separate clothes to prevent them from being stained or damaged.

The pros and cons of laundry bags

The cleaning principle of a washing machine is to use the back and forth movement of water to cause constant friction between clothes and water, clothes and clothes, and clothes and the wall of the drum, thereby cleaning away stains.

Let's look at the principle of laundry bags: by restraining clothes, they reduce friction and thus wear.

The two are fundamentally opposite.

To put it simply: the clothes cannot be fully rubbed when wrapped in the laundry bag. Although they are no longer tangled, it is difficult for water to enter the core of the laundry bag. The larger the laundry bag and the more clothes are stuffed in it, the worse the washing effect will be. It is even possible that the detergent that has seeped into the bag cannot be cleaned out in the end, so it is better not to wash the clothes.

Let’s take another easy-to-understand example: Is it better to spread out the quilt to dry or to wrap it up?

The above is one of the shortcomings of laundry bags, and there is another equally troublesome one:

Laundry bags can easily damage your washing machine.

This involves the dehydration principle of the washing machine: the centrifugal force is generated by rotating the drum wall at high speed, and the centrifugal force takes away the moisture in the clothes. Generally, under the action of centrifugal force, the clothes will evenly stick to the drum wall to form a concave column. Because of the uniform distribution, the centrifugal force on all four sides is similar, and the washing machine can operate stably. However, the laundry bag wraps the clothes into a bag, which cannot be evenly distributed during dehydration, resulting in uneven force on the inner wall of the washing machine, resulting in violent swaying, causing great damage to the washing machine, and even the risk of explosion.

So I want to say that although laundry bags are good, don't abuse them. Here are some small suggestions:

1. It is best to wash underwear by hand, which is both clean and gentle on the clothes.

2. If you want to machine wash, it is recommended to use a drum washing machine and choose a slightly larger laundry bag and do not fill it up.

3. It is best to have at least 3 laundry bags of similar weight to ensure uniform force during spin drying.

Do laundry bags really work?

The function of a laundry bag is to protect clothes from getting tangled, abrasion, or deformation, and to protect clothes with metal zippers or buttons, and not to damage the inner wall of the washing machine. They are sold in large supermarkets! If you put clothes like sweaters in a laundry bag, they will not get deformed. Don't put them in too tightly, and they will be washed clean!

The size of the mesh size of the laundry bag should be selected according to the fineness of the fabric fibers of the clothes being washed and the size of the decorations on it. For clothes with fine fabric fibers, it is best to choose a laundry bag with a smaller mesh size. For clothes with larger decorations and larger fabric fibers, choose a laundry bag with a larger mesh size, which is more conducive to protecting the clothes.

When washing a pile of clothes and need to give special protection to one of the clothes, you should not choose a laundry bag that is too large. A smaller laundry bag is more conducive to the cleaning and protection of the clothes. If you need to give special protection to several clothes at the same time, you should choose a larger laundry bag. After putting the clothes in, there is still appropriate space, which is conducive to the cleaning of the clothes.

When using a washing machine laundry bag, be careful to check whether the clothes are suitable for washing in the washing machine and whether they are suitable for washing in water. Before washing, clean the pockets and take out items such as coins, sand, hairpins, etc. Tie long straps (such as skirt ties, ties, etc.) and fasten buttons and zippers. Do not wash too much laundry. When washing, it is better to turn the clothes normally and unfold and shake them before putting them in. Repair damaged clothes before washing. Wash clothes that are easy to fade, color transfer, and hair loss separately from other clothes. Put small clothes such as socks and gloves in the laundry bag for washing.

For some expensive clothes that are easy to be snagged, put them in a laundry bag, seal it, and then put them in the washing machine with other clothes to wash them together. They will not be easily snagged by the zippers or buttons of other clothes. Also, for some clothes that are easily entangled and deformed in the washing machine, washing them in a laundry bag can avoid deformation. Bags made of polyester mesh or mesh nylon (a bit like the material of mosquito nets) are used to dry sweaters and wash underwear to separate clothes to prevent staining and damage.

Can the laundry bag be filled?

Laundry bags are commonly used items when people wash clothes. Generally speaking, a large bag can hold about 3.4 pieces of clothing, and a small bag can hold 2.3 pieces. However, the specific size depends on the mesh and size of the laundry bag as well as the corresponding clothes to be washed.
