I am always looking for ways to make my life a little easier. When you make things a little easier you become just a little less busy.
Today I am sharing a quick laundry tip! Do you have any “wash by hand” items in your closet? I try to avoid purchasing these types of items, but I do have 1 or 2 that fall into that category. To avoid actually having to hand wash any clothing, I use a mesh garment bag. Just today I put my new thredUP purchase, a “wash by hand” shirt, into my mesh garment bag. It came out of the wash without any damage. I use this trick all the time because when I can I am going to choose the easy button!
What about you? Do you have any quick laundry tips?

This is such a great tip! I have one of those mesh bags I used to use for tiny baby items (like socks) that I wouldn’t want to lose. I’m definitely going to try this!
Items you don’t want to lose is a great use of these bags, Mandy!! I have washed very fancy dresses in the bags, too.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Melissa!
I love my mesh garment bags. I use them on everything from delicates, socks to toys to keep everything clean and prevent me from losing them.
Hi, Stacy! Yes, they have many great uses!
I have a top loader(one of the old fashioned ones with the turn thing(??) in the middle, there are so many things that I actually can’t wash in there, I’ll have to try some things in the bag, only I don’t want them ruined in case it wouldn’t work. I’ll have to try it first with something that doesn’t matter so much if it gets wrecked.
Hi, Jacqueline! I also have a top loader (with what I believe is called an agitator). That’s actually the number one reason I find myself using mesh bags so often. Yes, trying it out on something you don’t care about might be the best place to start. So far I haven’t had any issues!
I seriously consider not buying items that are hand wash only. But this is a good way to get around that.
Hi Sane Mama! Most of my hand wash only items have been purchased online and I didn’t think about the care instructions. Now the mesh bags make it possible for me to wash everything!
YES! What an easy life hack! Handwashing is such a pain!
Thanks for stopping by, Christina! Handwashing clothing is a pain!
