We’ve found what we consider to be the best extra large laundry bags on the market, whether you’ve got a large family, do the laundry less often or need somewhere to throw everything into to keep the place tidy.

I’m sure you’ve probably heard the words ‘laundry bag’ being thrown around with a number of different types of product, bag or context, and well, they’re not massively exciting really are they.  However, if keeping the home tidy gives you a zen like feeling, then it’s worth taking a few minutes to get the right storage for your laundry.

There are actually a few different types of laundry bag. And there are five specific types of extra-large laundry bags. 

We’re here to wash away any confusion by explaining exactly what each of the five types of extra-large laundry bags are while giving you a sneak-peak into the best ones on the market right now.

For example, the five we’ll touch on today are: the fine mesh for delicates bag, the plastic laundry storage bag, the drawstring laundry sack, the wide mesh general cycle bag and the fashion laundry bag.

Of course, right now we’re talking about the extra-large variations. Simply because those will be the ones you use the most. But there are others such as the smaller fine mesh for delicates bag which is often good for one or two underwear or lace items at once. There are also the laundry bags designed to hold your shoes, slippers and trainers, too!

OTraki Laundry Bag Extra Large

These types of laundry bag are made to help protect items of clothing that are delicate, small, have wires, have sequins, made out of fine material like silk or simply prone to holes and tugs. 

While most people will use the small bag for face masks, bras, a couple of tops and some underwear, it’s important (and very often missed) that many dry-clean only options can be placed within a fine mesh for delicates laundry bag. Examples include chenille jumpers and pantsuits.

The best example of an extra-large laundry bag for delicates is this OTraki laundry bag with LWH dimensions of 110x90x05cm (so you can’t argue it isn’t extra-large). OTraki have designed this bag to have a rust-proof zip (with a protective cover) and be big enough to fit the entire family’s delicates in one large wash so as to protect every piece.

Whether it’s a long coat or some old teddies that already have a couple of tears. As well as this, the bag is manufactured with environmentally friendly white fine mesh polyester to filter dust and dirt.

DECO EXPRESS Pack of 8 X Large STRONG Storage Laundry Bags

This second type of laundry bag is the complete opposite to the first extra-large laundry bags in that they don’t go in the wash and are made using different materials.

Rather than housing delicate clothes for a wash and dry cycle, the plastic laundry storage bag is much like what the name suggests; it is a plastic bag (which these days tend to be made using recycled plastics) offering waterproof, insect proof and dust proof protection for your laundry. 

It also gives you enough space to stuff a couple of sets of bedding in and carry it off to the laundrette for some industrial-sized softening that won’t kill your at-home washing machine.

DECO EXPRESS are pros at making extra-large laundry begs that have durability, lightweight carrying and multi-functionality in mind. Their extra-large bag has the LWH dimensions of 59x76x24cm, making it the perfect super-sized laundry bag for all your needs.

What’s better is that they can be picked up at a cheap price with the classic gingham pattern from the manufacturers right here in the UK (i.e., your carbon footprint will be going down, too!).

IHOMAGIC Extra Large Laundry Bag

More often than not, the drawstring laundry sack is a natural beige colour after being manufactured using natural cottons mixed with synthetic fibres like polyester without dyes. 

As well as this, they’re typically used in the same way as the plastic laundry storage bag but with a more temporary usage in mind as the drawstring doesn’t prevent water and dust from getting in the bag. So, it’s typically a natural looking sack used to place dirty laundry in before heading to the machine for a quick cycle.

While we said most of these extra-large laundry bags are naturally coloured, IHOMAGIC have found a way to ensure the fabric is fun and safe; they are made using naturally coloured polyester fibres. 

The design ensures you won’t see colour fading in your clothes, the waterproof protects your cloths insdie, it won’t tear and nor will it shrink when you bung it into the washing machine. 

The LWH dimensions are 61x61x92cm meaning you’ll fit a good couple of wash loads in the bag before needing to head to the washing machine (plus it has a big smiley face on it, so we already love it here at Laundry Life).

Vivifying Large Washing Net Bags, Set of 2

The wide mesh general cycle bag is the perfect solution to dividing large items of clothing that aren’t necessarily delicate but should be kept away from other items to avoid snagging and tearing. For example, a metal-button dress. 

The biggest benefit to these types of laundry bag is that they can be thrown into your dry cycle as well as the wash cycle without needing to think about increasing the drying time or wondering if items will come out right. Plus, they make for great dividers between the clean stuff and the not-so-clean stuff when on holiday!

Vivifying have developed their wide mesh general cycle bag to allow for quick cleaning and efficient drying with durable and breathable material (it has done the job for us so far very well; that dress we mentioned earlier has taken no prisoners when it comes to the wash). 

As well as this, you get two for the price of one with both bags measuring an LWH of 20x16x2.8cm to fit just the right amount of clothing into your wash cycle. So, if you have three people’s coloureds going into the same wash to save time, money, energy and water, you can keep them separate.

Premium Laundry Bags/Storage Bags for Clothes

The fashion laundry bag is pretty much the plastic laundry storage bag with a little more camouflage and pazazz.

What makes it one of the types of extra-large laundry bags is the fact that they are still made for the same purposes. They are able to hold bedding sets in their shape, keep fabrics inside clean from dust, dirt and water and be fully washable for when the smelly clothes seep into the lining fabric of the bag.

We love this Luxelu London premium laundry bag just because of the sheer number of bells and whistles that come with such an affordable price tag.

While we like ‘the classics’ range with three bags of black, beige and elephant grey, you can get them in singles with a variety of colour from hot pink to sky blue. When it comes to the specifications, each bag has the LWH measurements of 53x28x44cm making them a roomy option. 

Plus, they are fully foldable, feature galvanised lockable zips, is made with Oxford 600D water resistant material, has a name tag, can be used for anything, protects laundry (from dust, pests and water), is washable and fits within a carry-on suitcase. What else could they provide with extra-large laundry bags?
