• Made with Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), an environmentally friendly, water soluble material
• Dissolves in 167°F water in 3-5 minutes (or in any body of water at any temperature in 60-90 days)
• Provides operational efficiency and convenience
• Reduces contact with contaminated linens in healthcare and hospitality industries
• Reduces labor by eliminating need to empty laundry bags
• Water soluble tie included with each bag

IN STORAGE

1. Keep bags sealed within their protective overwrap until they are needed for use.

2. Once a bag is removed from the pack, keep the remaining bags within the overwrap material.

3. Store wrapped water soluble laundry bags at 45° F (7°C) to 86° F (30°C) and in 20% to 70% RH for optimum shelf life.

AT SETUP AND IN USE

1. Handle the bag with dry hands only. Avoid any moisture contact with the bag film to preserve the film’s strength.

2. IMPORTANT: A linen item known to be dry should be the first item placed in the bag. This provides a significant

measure of protection to the bag in the event moist items are later placed in that bag.

3. Do not place overly wet items in the bag at any time. Remember the bag is sensitive to moisture in any form.

AT CLOSURE

1. Expel as much excess air as possible before closing the bag taking care to avoid expelling air in your face. Reduction of

trapped air content makes the bag stronger for shipment.

2. A colored bag tie is provided with every bag. Use it to tie the neck of the bag closed.

3. Do not knot the bag film as a means of closure. Knots inhibit solubility during laundering.

4. The closed water soluble laundry bag should be transported carefully reducing the chance of puncture or breaking en

route to the laundry.

IN THE LAUNDRY

1. The closed water soluble bag should be placed in the wash wheel or tunnel.

2. For complete liquefaction of the film we suggest the following:

A. Do not overload the washer beyond its rated capacity.

B. Be sure the water temperature reaches at least 167°F (75°C} during the wash cycle

C. The water should be swirling around the bag linens for at least 40 seconds before the wash chemicals (detergent,

alkali, etc.) are injected. Wash for 15 minutes minimum.

CAUTION:

These bags are packed in a polyolefin outer wrap that could develop an electrostatic charge. Do not take the outer

package wrapping from these bags into an operating room or hazardous area.
