Mesh laundry bags are often used for sorting and keeping track of various articles of clothing, bed linens and other such items during the laundering process. The reason is that the mesh material allows for washing and drying laundry within the bag itself, and with industrial or commercial settings in particular, this method allows clothing and other items to be separated into individual mesh laundry bags all the way from the initial collection of the laundry to the actual washing and drying process.
