Dissolvable Laundry Bags

Dissolvable Laundry Bags  | Trusted for Healthcare and Aged Care

Zero Pac’s dissolvable laundry bags provide a reliable and hygienic solution for handling soiled or contaminated laundry in hospitals, aged care facilities, and commercial laundries. Made from 100% polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), these bags completely dissolve in water during the wash cycle, eliminating the need to open or touch soiled laundry.

What Is a Dissolvable or Water Soluble Laundry Bag?

A water-soluble laundry bag is a sealed bag that dissolves in water, allowing laundry to be processed without ever opening it. This ensures staff can handle soiled linens or garments with minimal risk of exposure to pathogens or contaminants. Once placed in a hot water cycle (typically above 65°C), the bag dissolves completely, leaving no residue.

How Do Dissolvable Laundry Bags Work?

1. Load dirty or contaminated laundry into the bag.
2. Use the built-in tear-away tie located at the top of the bag to securely seal it.
3. Place the sealed bag directly into the washing machine.
4. The bag dissolves entirely in hot water during the wash cycle.
5. Laundry is cleaned as usual, with no trace of the bag remaining.

What Are the Bags Made From?

Zero Pac’s dissolvable bags are made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), a non-toxic, water-soluble material that is safe for people and facilities. It dissolves in wash water and is compatible with most plumbing and wastewater systems. PVOH is strong when dry, yet dissolves quickly and reliably when exposed to high-temperature water.
