Laundry Loops® FAQs
What makes Laundry Loops® the most widely-used laundry management product in the US?
Laundry Loops® allow clothes to wash and dry as if they were loose, but stay sorted throughout the laundry process. This eliminates the need to sort garments as they come out of the dryer, minimizing lost items. Compared to the mesh bag method, Laundry Loops® allow clothes to get thoroughly clean while cutting drying time, energy consumption, and utility costs in half. Our patented Sock Snare is the most efficient and easiest to use method to secure multiple socks of varied thicknesses throughout the laundry process.
Are Laundry Loops® right for me?
With over 8000+ satisfied customers during our 25+ years in business, we know that Laundry Loops® are right for anyone who needs efficient laundry management. The most common users of Laundry Loops® are athletic equipment managers for professional organizations, collegiate programs across D1, D2, D3, schools, and high school sports teams. Healthcare institutions and fitness centers also find great value in Laundry Loops®.
How are Laundry Loops® the best for securing socks?
Laundry Loops® patented Sock Snare is designed to be quick and secure. Simply slide the Sock Snare's cord lock all the way toward the webbing (away from the cord's knot). Then, unfurl and lay socks (1-3 pairs) inside the loop of cording. Finally, slide the cord lock toward the knot, snugly against the socks. Make sure it's tight; the cord lock will not move during the laundry process. This procedure also works great for other small items, such as gloves, caps, etc.
How do I mark identification information on Laundry Loops®?
Each Laundry Loops® has a durable, 4.5-inch white polyester label sewn directly onto the strap, designed for easy identification and durability. The label provides space to write ID information such as a player’s name, jersey number, or locker number—helping equipment managers and athletic staff keep gear organized. Most of our customers see long-lasting results using a black fine point Sharpie Extreme marker, or fine point black Uni-Paint pen. Some of our customers even write directly on the Laundry Loops® side-release buckle with a fine point silver Sharpie or white Uni-Paint pen.
Will the Laundry Loops® withstand hot water and "high" dryer settings?
Yes! Laundry Loops® are made of the highest quality components anywhere, assembled in the USA from USA-manufactured components. The heavyweight polypropylene webbing is strong and shrink-resistant. The hardware is not water absorbent and has an extremely high melting point: at least 100 degrees ABOVE the “High” setting of commercial dryers. We thoroughly test all of our components ourselves under extreme conditions, constantly ensuring that our Laundry Loops® are best-in-class in quality and durability.
Can I use chlorine bleach in a load containing Laundry Loops®?We do not recommend using Laundry Loops® in washer loads containing chlorine bleach. Alternative laundry products such as oxygen bleach should work just fine. Just be sure to run a test load before using Laundry Loops® with your garments.Where can I purchase Laundry Loops®?Right here! For 25+ years we have sold our Laundry Loops® directly to our 8,000+ customers. This allows us to offer each customer our best price.Can I get a price quote prior to placing an order?
Yes! To get a price quote, click the "Price Quote Only" button (NOT the "Proceed to Billing" button), after providing your shipping address and selecting your shipping method.
How do Laundry Loops® work?It's easy! Just open the side-release buckle and thread the Laundry Loops® through the openings of clothes to be laundered. Most customers go through the arm and neck openings–or neck and waist openings– of shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets; and through the leg and waist of shorts and pants (or through a couple of belt loops, when available). Then click the buckle closed.Which should I buy-the ORIGINAL Laundry Loops® or the Laundry Loops® PLUS?Most of our customers are happy using the ORIGINAL Laundry Loops®. Clothes clean and dry efficiently. Some customers, mostly those who provide laundry service less frequently than every day, prefer the extra length and added Sock Snare of the Laundry Loops® PLUS. An increase in tangling of clothing might occur using the Laundry Loops® PLUS. Occasionally grasping Loops and shaking to loosen the garments, when transferring clothes from the washer to the dryer, minimizes tangling.Can I put Laundry Loops®, loaded with clothing, right into the washer and dryer?Yes! That's exactly where they are intended to go.Why would I want to use multiple colors of Laundry Loops®?To efficiently get the right clothing back to the right individuals, many customers like to "color-code" their Laundry Loops®. Using a unique color for each person, each team, each wall of a locker room, or maybe each building in a facility complex, helps insure that the clothing gets back quickly to the right people.Will the colors of the Laundry Loops® bleed onto my clothing?No! The color is introduced into the polypropylene webbing during the extrusion process of its manufacture . . . not bath-dyed afterward. This results in colorfast webbing. Then we run our own extreme tests to be certain that the color does not bleed. However, some water supplies can contain unusually high amounts of chlorine. Therefore we recommend that customers wash and dry all colored Laundry Loops® once, prior to initially using them with garments.Are Laundry Loops® recommended for at-home use?
To achieve maximum efficiency, Laundry Loops® require the ample capacity of commercial-size dryers. In residential laundry equipment, clothing on Laundry Loops® will get clean, but may require additional time for thorough dryness.
