Water Soluble Laundry Bags
The Water Soluble Laundry Bag is a convenient precaution tool that enables soiled linen handlers to isolate, store, transport and clean washable dirty items. The bags can be used as integral liners in collection containers or as independent storage bags for soiled or contaminated items (i.e. used continence pads and bed linen) prior to laundering, thus minimising the risk of cross contamination or direct exposure to waste materials or body fluids. Closed Laundry Bags can be placed directly into the washing machine. During washing, the water soluble transparent bags dissolve, releasing the contents into the wash.
The Water Soluble Laundry Bags with soluble integral ties are made from transparent PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) film. PVA is a non-toxic environmentally friendly biodegradable material that dissolves in water. PVA is commonly used in packaging of a variety of goods, such as plant and vegetable seeds, textiles and clothing, unfinished embroidery items, fresh foods and also in making of water soluble laundry bags for better hygiene and easy handling of soiled washable items.
The Laundry Bags begin to dissolve in warm water at 40 degrees C and over and dissolve completely at water temperature in excess of 50 degrees C. They are made from a transparent 25 microns thick PVA film in natural transparent colour. The natural water soluble bags can be used for laundering in both warm and in hot water. When washing in water below 50 degrees C, you may have to remove some remains of the bag from the washing machine at the end of the programme.
The water soluble laundry bags in natural colour are also suitable for use in embroidery.

Polythene Laundry Bags with Soluble Strips and Ties
The Water Soluble Strip and Tie Polythene Laundry Bag is a Universal Precaution Tool to enable linen handlers to economically isolate, transport and disinfect foul and contaminated linen. The bags are designed to be used as liners. Once filled, the contaminated linen can then be handled and transported to the laundry without fear of bacterial dispersion and exposure. The filled Laundry Bags are loaded directly into the washing machines eliminating the need to open bags in order to sort and/or load the contaminated linen as well as the potential exposure to the handlers. During the agitation cycle, the Water Soluble Strip and tie closure dissolve, releasing the contents of the bag into the washing solution. At the conclusion of the wash cycle, the remains of the used and disinfected portion of the Laundry Bag is removed and discarded or recycled.
