MESH WASHING BAG
Description:
The Mesh Washing Bag by The Laundress. Help protect wool, delicates, embellished items—even denim and activewear—from tangles and snags in the machine with our thoughtfully designed Mesh Washing Bags. These fine-mesh bags add a layer of protection to items during the wash while still allowing for effective laundering.
Size:
- Mesh bags to help protect wool, delicates, and embellished items during machine washing and drying
- Fine mesh with zipper closures and gusset design
- Set of two bags: 15" x 18" and 20" x 24"
How to use:
Gently place your garment inside your small or large Mesh Bag before adding to the washing machine. Avoid overstuffing your Mesh Bag to prevent rips and tears. Once you add your garment, zip the bag shut and add to your washing machine’s drum before proceeding with washing.
If you are not placing bags in the dryer, hang to dry. Ensure bags are completely dry before storing.
We recommend using a mesh washing bag for delicate items, knits, activewear, and any embellished pieces when you’re including them in a load of laundry. Washing with mesh bags provides an essential layer of protection for fabrics, helping prevent snagging and tearing. It's also important to use a Mesh Bag for any delicate items like knits to protect them during the spin cycle. If you have an item that has hardware (such as zippers, buttons, or heavy detailing), insert it into a mesh bag so it won’t damage other items in the load during washing.
Ideal for: socks, hosiery, lingerie, scarves, knits, items with embellishments, items with hardware (like zippers), etc.

CARE TIPS
HAND WASH IT
One of our favorite ways to minimize environmental impact and keep our sweaters looking beautiful is to opt for hand washing!
If you choose to hand-wash your wool and cashmere, here are a few easy steps:
1. Fill with lukewarm water and a small amount of gentle, dye-free detergent.
2. Submerge your sweater and gently massage it. Soak for 30 min.
3. Rinse with cool water until the water runs clear and there are no more suds.
4. Gently press your sweater to let out excess water. Be careful to not twist or stretch it.
5. Lay the sweater flat on a dry towel. Roll the towel up like a yoga mat, pressing as you go.
6. Unroll and lay flat to finish drying. NEVER use a dryer!
Always check the care label if you are unsure how to take care for your sweater. If in doubt, dry cleaning is a safe option.
DEPILL IT
Pills appear when fibers tangle together in a tiny ball. These can form from rubbing, abrasion, or with wear. You'll find pills to be a normal part of owning cashmere and other soft knits.
A simple sweater comb is essential in preserving your favorite sweater. Lightly rub the comb over your sweater to get rid of any pilling.
STORE IT
We ship our items in reusable storage bags featuring a zip closure and breathable vents. Store your sweater folded flat inside this bag to keep it fresh and safe from moths or other environmental factors.
We do not recommend hanging knit sweaters. You may find that your hung sweater will grow and lose shape over time.
REPAIR IT
In our current fast-fashion culture, replacing and disposing of barely used clothes has become the norm. We can take the "slow-fashion" approach by repairing and reusing the clothing that we already own.
To keep your Margaret O’Leary sweater looking great, we offer free de-pilling and minor repair services within one year of purchase. Bring your item to one of our stores, and our staff will take care of the rest. Can't make it to a store? Reach out to web@margaretoleary.com for assistance.
To maintain the quality and longevity of your knits, please be aware that direct contact with oils, lotions, deodorants, and perfumes can potentially stain, damage and alter the texture of any knit or woven garment.
We recommend ensuring any products used are fully absorbed into your skin to avoid direct contact with the garments. Additionally, layering a tee or cami underneath can help in protecting your knits.
