Water-soluble washing bags are typically made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a fully biodegradable and water-soluble material. PVA water-soluble films are particularly flexible and have high tensile strength. They completely dissolve in water and are completely biodegradable.
During the wash cycle, these water-soluble washing bags begin to dissolve when they come into contact with water, allowing the wash water to come into contact with the clothing.
To ensure that the film completely dissolves, it is recommended not to exceed the rated capacity of the washing machine, ensure that the water temperature reaches at least 149°F (about 65°C), and that the 149°F water should be swirled around the bag and clothing for at least 40 seconds before adding washing chemicals. Wash at a water temperature of 149°F for at least 15 minutes.
Key Benefits:
Improved sanitation: Water soluble washing bags are ideal for healthcare facilities, hotels, and other environments where handling contaminated clothing may pose a health risk. The bag and its contents can be placed directly into the washing machine, minimizing contact.
Environmentally friendly: Water soluble washing bags are made from biodegradable materials and do not leave plastic waste after dissolving, thereby reducing the impact on the environment.
Convenient: After washing, water soluble washing bags completely dissolve and no additional disposal is required.
Popular Uses:
Healthcare Facilities: For containing linens that may be exposed to pathogens, reducing the risk of cross contamination.
Hospitality Industry: For discreet and sanitary handling of guest laundry or any contaminated items.
Personal Home Use: Water soluble wash bags are ideal for anyone handling soiled items such as cloth diapers, pet bedding or athletic clothing with minimal contact.
