How Eco Washing Bag traps fibres from mop pads, activewear and other syntheticsUpdated 5 hours ago

Worried about micro-fibres from synthetic textiles? Here’s how Eco Washing Bag helps.

TL;DR: Place any synthetic item-mop pads, microfibre cloths, activewear, fleece, swimwear, inside Eco Washing Bag and wash as normal. The bag’s ultra-fine nylon mesh captures a big slice of the fibres each cycle, so fewer plastics escape into waterways.


What can I put in the bag?

  • Cleaning gear: Universal Cloths, Mop Pads, Dusting Mitt, etc.
  • Wardrobe favourites: yoga tights, sports tees, fleece jumpers, swimwear
  • Household textiles: cushion covers, plush throws, soft-toy plushes

If it’s predominantly synthetic, the bag can help contain its lint.

How Eco Washing Bag captures fibres

  1. Made from monofilament nylon. This is a smooth, tear-resistant yarn that does not shed itself.
  2. Mesh pores are small enough to act like a sieve, trapping micro-fibres inside.
  3. After washing, turn the bag inside-out, tap the lint into the bin, and air-dry.

Get the best capture rate

  • Fill each bag ≤ ⅔ full for good water flow and drum balance.
  • Add a towel or second bag if the machine struggles to spin.
  • Wash on cold or gentle cycles to reduce friction.
  • Empty lint into household waste, don’t rinse it down the sink.

Does it only work with Koh gear?

Nope. Eco Washing Bag protects any brand’s synthetics. Use it for kids’ school jerseys, your favourite leggings, almost anything! Every captured fibre is one less micro-plastic in the environment.
