Laundry bag is not just a helper for protecting your delicate laundry, but it's also a great way to extend the life of fabrics and prevent damage to your washing machine. Read on to find out how you can save money, time, and protect the environment with our laundry bags.
How do they work?
Laundry bags act as a protective barrier between your laundry and mechanical influences during washing. They protect delicate fabrics like silk, lace, or underwear from damage, while also preventing metal parts of the laundry (like zippers) from snagging and damaging the drum of the washing machine.
5 reasons to use them:
- They protect delicate laundry and extend its lifespan
Delicate fabrics like lace bras, silk underwear, or tights often suffer wear and tear during washing. Without protection, they can get damaged or torn, which could cost you hundreds of crowns for new pieces. Laundry bags provide a protective barrier and prevent fiber damage. - They protect the washing machine drum and prevent loss of small items
Zippers, buttons, and other hard elements on clothing can damage the washing machine drum. By using laundry bags, you reduce the risk of damage and extend the lifespan of your washing machine. Plus, small items like socks often disappear in the wash – using bags prevents that. Losing two socks can cost you up to 600 CZK a year if one sock costs 300 CZK . - Protects expensive shoes and delicate fabrics
If you wash shoes without a laundry bag, you risk wear and tear. The price for new shoes can be up to 1,000 CZK . Similarly, lace lingerie can get damaged without protection, where one bra can cost even 1,200 CZK . A laundry bag protects delicate materials and saves you money. - Quick and easy to use
Just place delicate laundry or pieces of clothing with hard elements (zippers, buttons) into the bag, close it, and put it in the washing machine drum. Laundry bags are universal and suitable for all types of washing programs, so you can use them even in a quick cycle. - Quality that lasts
Our laundry bags are made in a social enterprise in the Czech Republic and last up to 5 years of regular use. Compared to cheap bags that cost 98 CZK and barely last 1 year, our quality bag for 289 CZK is a more cost-effective choice in the long run.

How to use us?
Our laundry bags are available in various sizes to protect different types of laundry and items. Each size has its specific use:
- Small bags are ideal for small laundry items, such as socks, underwear, or tights that often disappear in the washing machine.
- Medium bags are perfect for protecting delicate items like bras, silk blouses, or fine dresses with embellishments.
- Large bags are ideal for bigger pieces of laundry, like sweaters, shoes, or even plush toys that need special care when washing.
Using laundry bags is not just about protecting delicate garments, but also about savings that come from extending the life of your clothes, washing machine, and reducing laundry loss.
1. How much can you save on lost socks?
Washing without a bag can mean losing small pieces of laundry, like socks. If you lose 4 individual socks a year, where a pair costs 150 CZK, your annual loss can reach up to:
4 × 150 CZK = 600 CZK per year

Shoes can wear out quickly when washed without protection. New shoes can cost you up to 1,000 CZK, which is an amount you can save by using a laundry bag.

1,200 CZK × 0.5 = 600 CZK per year
4. How much can you save on tights?
Tights are very prone to damage during washing. A pair costs on average 140 CZK and you use about 10 pairs a year. If you reduce the wear of tights by 50 % thanks to the washing bag, you can save up to:
140 CZK × 5 = 700 CZK per year
5. How much can you save on new dresses with filters?
Dresses with filters, applications, or delicate embellishments are very prone to damage when washed without protection.If one such dress costs up to 1,500 CZK , and the laundry bag extends its lifespan by 50 % , you can save up to:

7. How much can you save on your favorite plush toy?
Your favorite plush toy often has an immeasurable emotional value, especially for children, and if it gets damaged, it can't be easily replaced. By using a laundry bag, you can protect the plush toy from damage during washing, which helps preserve not only its appearance but also the memories that come with it.
8. How much can you save on shoelaces and small items?
Shoelaces can move freely in the drum during washing and easily get tangled or damaged. We recommend always putting shoelaces in a laundry bag to prevent wear and tear. The cost of new shoelaces can reach up to 100 CZK per pair, and if you wash your shoes often, you can save a lot in the long run this way.
Other small items, like belts or delicate scarves, can also get damaged or lost during washing if they are not adequately protected.
9. How much can you save by buying a quality bag instead of several cheap ones?
Cheap laundry bags that cost around 98 CZK usually last only half a year to a year. So if you need to replace a cheap bag every year, in 5 years you will spend up to 5× 98 CZK = 490 CZK .
Our EcoHaus laundry bags, which are well-made in a sheltered workshop and cost 289 CZK , will last you up to 5 years , which means you'll save by not buying 5 cheap bags during the same period:
490 CZK - 289 CZK = 201 CZK saved over 5 years
10. How much can you save on repairing your washing machine drum?
If you wash clothes with hard elements like zippers or buttons without a bag for protection, you risk damaging the washing machine drum. Repairing the drum can cost between 2,000 CZK and 5,000 CZK. The average savings on drum repairs when using a bag is:
(2000 CZK + 5000 CZK) / 2 = 3500 CZK
By investing in a quality bag , you not only save money but also help the environment by reducing the consumption of lower-quality products. By using the EcoHaus laundry bag, you can save up to 7,801 CZK annually.
