Why is it so hard to make a mesh laundry bag that stays closed in the washer?
I cannot tell you how many mesh laundry bags I have purchased over the years, and they all had one fatal flaw: they would open in the wash. I’ve had ONE bag (since college!) that at least had a large circular pull on the zipper so we could safety pin it closed.
(I generally try to wash my delicates on the delicate setting, but I feel like the truly important part of it is air drying them — so if I’m throwing some of my delicates in with a larger load of regular laundry it can become problematic if they’re let loose, since they’re more likely to end up in the dryer.)
It’s almost comical over the years how many times I’ve tried other mesh laundry bags. I read about this set of laundry bags somewhere and was intrigued that they made special note of how you can tuck the zipper into a piece of elastic so the zipper stays shut. We’ll see about that, I said.
I am strangely delighted to tell you that YES, the bags work. Some of the larger sizes seem a bit unnecessary, but hey. I also like that the zippers are fun colors, and you can in theory tell which bag you’re grabbing based on the color of the zipper (should you be bothered to learn the colors).
The bags are under $10, at Amazon.
