Product Information

Full details

The HEA Laundry Soluble Strip Bag is an essential solution for staff in hospitals, care homes, and high-demand healthcare environments tasked with the hygienic management of heavily soiled laundry. These 80-litre bags feature a specialized water-soluble strip that allows for hands-free, infection-controlled handling, meaning laundry can be deposited directly into a washing machine without contact. While highly effective at preventing cross-contamination, these bags must be stored in a completely dry environment to prevent premature dissolution of the sealing strip.

FAQs

What temperature is required for the strip to dissolve?

The soluble strip is designed to dissolve when exposed to water at 15 degrees Celsius or higher.

Are these bags safe for use with all industrial washing machines?

Yes, provided the machine is capable of reaching the required 15-degree water temperature.

Can I store wet linens in these bags?

No, wet or heavily damp linens should not be placed in the bags, as the moisture will begin to dissolve the strip prematurely.

What is the primary benefit of the red colour?

The red colour is a universal standard in many healthcare settings to quickly identify soiled or infectious waste, ensuring proper handling by laundry staff.

How many bags are included in one order?

These units are supplied in a bulk pack of 200 bags.

What are the dimensions of the bag?

Each bag measures 457mm x 711mm x 965mm.

Troubleshooting

The soluble strip appears sticky or partially dissolved in storage.

The bags have likely been exposed to humidity. Ensure they are moved to a sealed, dry container or an environment with low moisture levels.

The bag does not fully dissolve in the washing machine.

Verify that your machine's water temperature is consistently reaching at least 15 degrees Celsius. If it remains lower, the strip will not dissolve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of these bags, follow these storage and handling guidelines:

  1. Dry Storage: Store all unused bags in a cool, dry area. Moisture in the air can weaken the water-soluble seal, rendering the bags ineffective.
  2. Loading: Do not overfill the 80-litre capacity; ensure there is enough room to securely fasten the bag before transport.
  3. Compatibility: These bags are designed for use with standard hospital-grade laundry trolleys. Ensure your facility's washing machine cycle reaches the minimum required temperature of 15 degrees Celsius to activate the dissolution process.
  4. Handling: Always use clean, dry gloves when loading the bags to prevent accidental moisture transfer.
