When choosing a canvas laundry bag for your household, consider its sturdiness, its size, and its portability before making your purchase. While cost is a legitimate concern, a canvas laundry bag should last you a long time, so its suitability to your household may be a more important concern than up-front cost. Canvas laundry bags can make a huge difference in helping you keep your dirty laundry from cluttering your home and making it easier for you to get your laundry done quickly, conveniently, and with minimum risk of losing any clothing items. Don't forget to consider the amount of laundry generated by you or your family when purchasing a laundry bag. In some cases, you may need to purchase several large canvas laundry bags in order to accommodate the amount of clothes that you need to wash on a regular basis.
Using a laundry bag has many advantages. A canvas laundry bag can hold dirty laundry in one place, reducing household clutter and containing unpleasant odors. Unlike plastic or wooden hampers or laundry baskets, the canvas laundry bag can typically be washed along with your laundry and doesn't require separate scrubbing or cleaning. A canvas laundry bag typically has some type of closure, which means that your laundry is not exposed to guests or anyone who happens to see you carrying your laundry from place to place, and may even have a shoulder strap that makes transportation easier. In some cases, a canvas laundry bag is fitted to a metal rolling laundry cart that can be extremely helpful if you are unable to actually carry a laundry bag.
A good canvas laundry bag will be made of thick, tough canvas that can hold heavy laundry and contain laundry odors. The seams of the bag should also be well sewn and tight. Check the position of the laundry bag handle. In some cases, the bag handle may be one and the same as the bag closure. This type of handle can be harder to manage if you have to carry the laundry bag any great distance. You may instead wish to find a laundry bag that has a large strap so that you can sling the laundry bag across your back. On the other hand, if you can't carry anything at all or have to walk your laundry several blocks to a laundromat, you may prefer the type of canvas laundry bag that fits into a laundry cart.
