I just bought those special mesh bags they sell for washing delicates in and realized that I’m not sure if they are also meant go in the dryer, or do I have to take everything out to dry it? The package doesn’t say. Thanks in advance!

    If the items in the bag can go in the dryer it is OK. A lot of things you would put in the bag need to be hung out to dry.

    I too have a couple of mesh laundry bags for delicates, and sometimes I dry them and the contents in the dryer. It hasn’t harmed the bag, zipper or contents.

    Other times, I remove the contents and let them air dry.

    Usually if something is delicate enough to need a mesh bag for washing, it should not go in the dryer. I use mesh bags in the washer all the time but have never used them in the dryer. Your delicates may say that they can go in the dryer, but it’s best not to put them in there. It doesn’t take long for them to hang-dry, especially bras. It is better to hang stuff up to dry than to ruin it.

    We have a bag like this that we use to wash delicates, What we usually do is wash them in th bag and allow them to air dry, drying can sometimes damage delicates.
