Professional Soluble Alginate Laundry Bags – Infection Control Solution
Our soluble alginate laundry bags are an indispensable tool for healthcare facilities, nursing homes, and hospitals. Designed specifically to minimize the risk of cross-contamination, these red laundry sacks allow staff to isolate soiled or infected linen at the point of collection without further manual contact.
These bags are engineered to be placed directly into the washing machine. The soluble nature of the bag (or its specialized alginate strip) ensures that the contents are released only once the wash cycle has begun, protecting laundry staff from exposure to potentially infectious materials and biohazards.

FAQ
How do soluble laundry bags work?
The bags are placed directly into the washing machine. During the wash cycle, the material (or the alginate tie/strip) dissolves, releasing the laundry to be cleaned while the bag material is safely washed away.
Why are these bags red?
In healthcare, red is the standard color used to identify “soiled” or “infected” linen. This ensures all staff are aware that the contents require specialized handling protocols.
Do they leave any residue on the clothes?
No. When used according to standard hot-wash protocols, the alginate material dissolves completely, leaving your laundry and machine clean.
