Medline Water-Soluble Bags safely contain potentially hazardous items to be disposed of or washed. The bags safely isolate contaminated clothing, towels, and other washable fabrics until properly laundered. It is unknown how long soft surfaces like fabrics can harbor viruses such as the one that causes COVID-19. Confining the items helps to manage the dirty laundry but most importantly it protects individuals and staff from the disease. A benefit to these specialized bags is that they don't need to be laundered immediately and can hold damp or wet clothing for a few hours without rupturing.

How to Use Water-Soluble Hamper Liners
Fill the bag with clothing and use the provided twist tie to close or tie ends in a knot. Toss into a washing machine by itself or with laundry that's safe to wash on a hot setting. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using the warmest water temperature setting with detergent to kill viruses on clothing. When the bag is exposed to 149 degrees Fahrenheit, it will fully dissolve. The bag won't leave behind a film or residue and won't clog the washing machine drum.
It's easy to identify these clear water-soluble bags with the red line. Choose from three sizes of liners to best suit the hamper or container used.
