Helpful Laundry Aid for Garments and Bandages

Just found this today while shopping at Joann's Fabric store.  Haven't seen this yet anywhere else.  Its a laundry bag that is already divided into 4 pockets and is zippered across the top.  Perfect for separating short stretch bandages for machine washing.  Really helps to prevent a big tangled mess.  I have been using a standard laundry bag for years that I made pockets in using seam tape but now it looks like you can buy them right off the shelf! 

I prefer to hand wash my compression sleeve and glove but do put them through a rinse and spin cycle in my washer.  They will dry faster that way and no detergent residue left from hand washing.  This laundry bag will work great for that also.  Remember, gentle cycle only with gentle detergents if you machine wash.  Do not use laundry softener or a machine dryer, air dry only for garments and bandages.

You can buy these online or at the Joann's store.  $4.59 regular price but when they have sewing notions on sale 50% off you can get them for $2.30 each.

P.S. I just did a search and looks like similar bags can be found at other locations also.  These types of bags have apparently been used also by persons with limited vision so they can keep matched clothing together during the laundry process.
