A mesh bag is designed to let you machine wash articles that would snag or pull when loose in the washer. Some experts recommend drying delicates by putting them in one of these bags and throwing it in an empty dryer on the gentle cycle for 10 minutes. The zippers on the Woolite bags pictured stay sealed better than the Velcro on others.
