Why Use Water Soluble Laundry Bags?

Water soluble bags are the gold standard for infection control in healthcare laundry. By eliminating the need for staff to handle contaminated linens directly, these bags reduce the risk of cross-contamination and disease transmission.

How Do Water Soluble Bags Work?

Made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, these bags remain strong and intact during handling but dissolve completely when exposed to water temperatures of 140°F or higher. This allows contaminated linens to be transported safely and loaded directly into washing machines without human contact.

Applications & Industries

  • Hospitals & Medical Centers: Isolate bedding, gowns, and linens from infectious disease units
  • Nursing Homes & Long-Term Care: Protect staff from soiled linens and reduce infection spread
  • Commercial Laundries: Handle healthcare clients' contaminated materials safely
  • Emergency Services: Contain biohazard materials from accident scenes
  • Veterinary Clinics: Isolate contaminated animal bedding and towels

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature dissolves water soluble laundry bags?

Water soluble laundry bags dissolve completely at 140°F (60°C) or above. The bags are made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, which stays strong at room temperature and breaks down only in hot water. Most commercial healthcare laundry cycles run above 140°F to meet sanitation standards, so the bag dissolves during the normal wash.

What are water soluble laundry bags made of?

They are made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, a biodegradable, non-toxic plastic that dissolves in hot water. Each bag includes a water soluble tie tape for secure closure, and handling instructions are printed on the bag in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Italian.

Are water soluble laundry bags environmentally safe?

Yes. The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) material is biodegradable and non-toxic. It breaks down into water and carbon dioxide, leaving no harmful residue in wastewater or sewer systems, and it is safe for standard commercial laundry equipment.

Can water soluble bags be used for cold water washing?

No. These bags are designed specifically for hot water cycles of 140°F or higher. Cold water will not dissolve the bag material, so the bag would need to be removed by hand, which defeats the no-touch purpose.

How long can wet laundry be stored in a water soluble bag?

Water soluble bags hold damp or wet laundry for several hours without degrading, as long as the moisture stays below 140°F. This gives staff time to collect, transport, and stage soiled linens before the wash cycle begins.

Who uses water soluble laundry bags?

Hospitals and medical centers, nursing homes and long-term care facilities, commercial laundries serving healthcare clients, emergency services, and veterinary clinics use water soluble laundry bags. Any operation that handles contaminated linens and wants to keep staff from touching them directly is a candidate. The bags comply with CDC and OSHA guidelines for handling contaminated healthcare laundry.
