Prevent damage and keep small items together by using a mesh laundry bag for these items.

I’m a big proponent of mesh laundry bags.
In fact, some items should always be washed in a mesh laundry bag.

There should be room for water and detergent to circulate freely to clean the clothes.
Allow the mesh bag to air dry, too.
Be sure to close all hooks and fasteners to prevent the bra from snagging the mesh bag!
Socks and Tights
A mesh bag does double duty when it comes to hosiery.
It also keeps all types of socks together.
Silk Items
Silk clothes have that luxurious sheen from long fibers floating over the surface.
A mesh bag also prevents stretching and protects elasticity if activewear gets tangled in the washer with other clothes.
But a loosely knit sweater should be placed in a mesh bag to prevent possible snags and pulls.
