Quick Answer
To keep your reusable towels clean and effective, wash the XL Laundry Bag regularly using a gentle cycle and air dry it fully before storing towels inside.
Why Cleaning the Bag Matters
The XL Laundry Bag collects used makeup eraser towels before washing. Over time, residual makeup, oils, and moisture can build up inside the bag, leading to odors or mildew. Cleaning the bag itself prevents that buildup from transferring back to your clean towels.
A clean bag also helps the laundry process run smoothly. Dirt trapped in the mesh can reduce water flow and detergent contact, making it harder to fully remove makeup from the towels during the wash cycle.
When to Clean the Bag
Plan to clean the XL Laundry Bag every 2-3 uses, or sooner if you notice visible stains or a musty smell. If you store damp towels inside the bag, clean it after each use to prevent mold growth.
Regular cleaning is especially important if you use the bag for storage between washes, not just as a laundry container.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
- Empty and Shake Out: Turn the XL Laundry Bag inside out over a trash can or sink. Shake gently to remove loose debris, hair, or lint that may have collected inside. Check the seams and corners for trapped particles. Skipping this step can leave debris that gets ground into the fabric during washing.
- Pre-Treat Stains (Optional): If you see visible makeup stains on the bag, apply a small drop of gentle liquid detergent directly to the spot. Rub the fabric together gently to work in the soap. Let it sit for 5 minutes before washing. Avoid bleach or harsh stain removers, which can weaken the mesh over time.
- Machine Wash on Gentle Cycle: Place the bag in the washing machine with a small load of similar colors or towels. Use cold or warm water and a gentle cycle. Add the same mild detergent you use for your makeup eraser towels. Do not use fabric softener, as it can clog the fibers. A hot water cycle may shrink or distort the bag's shape, so stick to cool or warm.
- Air Dry Completely: Remove the bag from the washer and hang it to air dry, or lay it flat on a drying rack. Avoid the dryer, as high heat can damage the mesh and zipper. Make sure the bag is fully dry before putting towels inside for storage. Storing towels in a damp bag is the most common cause of mildew and odors.
