Water soluble laundry bags have the following advantages:
- Economical way to isolate, transport, disinfect contaminated linens
- Eliminates need for protective equipment/clothing for the workers that handle the soiled linens
- Reduces labor and biohazard disposal costs
- Seals in airborne bacteria and prevents escape or leakage
- Protects workers from infectious body fluids and blood borne pathogens found on linens used by hospitals, clinics, dentists, veterinarian and diaper facilities
- Anti-static, non-toxic and fully biodegradable with no harm to the environment
