Size Guide

Which laundry bag actually fits your load?

Five sizes, one job each — from a dorm hamper run to a 60 lb laundromat pickup. Here's how they stack up against each other, and against you.

Specs by size

What each size is actually good for

Load weight is the number people ask for, so we lead with it — treat these as practical planning figures, not a hard ceiling. A bag can technically hold more than the suggested load weight.

Typical load: 40–50 lbs
Capacity: 40 Gallons
Washer fit: Extra Large Capacity Machines
Best for: Commercial use, handling heavy-duty laundry needs for hospitality and medical facilities. Designed for larger items such as comforters or multiple loads at once.

Too much bag for a standard home washer (usually 3.5–4.5 cu ft) but still great for hauling and sorting.
