This one is from my mum.
She buys branded washing powder tablets quite regularly and each time gets a little net in the box. The idea is the tablets go in the net and then in the washing machine, and if you don’t use the net, then all hell breaks loose and demons run the earth (or something).
Anyway, as she just told me on IM: “i’ve got quite a lot of those bags,usually stick them under the sink or hang them in tall cupboard for storage” but it seems they just stay in storage.
Any suggestions on what she can do with them?
(If you can’t see the picture clearly, here’s a description of what I mean: they’re little nylon string nets with a drawstring at the top, and the drawstring has a toggle attached so you can close it up, stopping the tablet from falling out during the wash cycle. Because if it did fall out, hell, demons, etc etc.)

If you have any role-playing gamer friends they might like to use the nets as pouches to carry around their funny shaped dice.

All my bicycle lights go in a net bag. I just grab the bag when I know I will be cycling home in the dark, and bung it in my backpack. Front light, back light(s), and it contains spare batteries as well.

loads of uses for these.
If you save buttons form worn out garments..shirts most especially these will hold quite a ot.
Craft items too can be stored this way…
What about putting all your coppers in one, silver in another?
Then there are many nuts and bolts that these will come in handy for.
Or fill with oatmeal (not cooked of course..0 the jumbo size and hang undwr the hot tap when it is running… if you have proriasis or just want your skin to be soft these will do it.
Handy stocking or tight holders too for storing or washing stops clu ick and catches.
Put your assorted lipstick in one,, nail polish in another.. Shall I go on?
lol

Donate them to your local school because we can use as many of them as we can get to keep all sorts of things together.

You may donate some to me! I always buy Ariel tables and I never get a net. My washing tables always break up and never disolve properly without one. My net has just lost it’s toggle so not working too well. Help!

I’ve never seen these!
These could be useful in the shower - hold soap and such on a suction-cup backed hook.
Small delicates in the wash?
If it was a finer cloth I’d suggest you use them to hold the bits and pieces that float off of bath bombs (from Lush and the like)
Cover a sponge with this for a gentle scrubber.
Someone who goes swimming a lot would probably use this to make sure s/he doesn’t lose all the tiny stuff s/he has.
It’d work as a large sieve as well.

delicates in the wash, put socks inside to keep them from getting “Eaten” by the dryer.
swim bag.
keep bath toys in them.
make a mini basketball net, and hang on the back of a door.
use it to store hats and matching gloves and scarf for the winter, everything will stay together

Place some nice smelling soap or other strong scented product, and hang it in the smallest room of the house (wc) to keep it smelling fresh

Our use (already mentioned above) is to wash small delicates in them. In particular, my daughter’s ballet tights!

Why not fill with bird feed, such as sunflower seeds or nuts, and hang them from a tree or shrub? Nigello

Yes please send them to me. My children love catching crabs at the seaside. Put them on a crab line with a bit of bacon in them and the crabs get their claws stuck in the nets. Fish them out, admire them in a bucket and then have a crab race down the quayside - huge fun for all the family.
If you have any spare please e-mail me at lucy_crawford@hotmail.com and I’ll send you my address.
Thanks!

put one of those little washing tablet net bags on each of your hands. Rub on water and soap and use to exfoliate your face and the tops of your shoulders. This really works!

I have a collection of these, when I comb my cats (especially in the shedding season) I collect the fur. Then I fill each bag with hair / fur / feathers etc and hang them on trees near the bird houses.
Birds love to hang on and take the free “bedding” :)

Give them to your local primary school or nursery. In the school I work in we put letters, numbers & words in them and use them as ‘word bags’ for the little ones (a bit like scrabble!). But they have many more uses in a school setting.

Here’s an idea, though I’ve never tried it: Put those little tiny pieces of soap inside the net bag, and use as a bath scrub.

We use them at Guide camp. We put soap into the bags and hang them next to the wash bowls - it saves the soap disappearing into slush in the bottom of the bowl. Tends to work better if you can put them so they can be used in the bowl and yet remain fixed outside the bowl (like on a wash stand) so you may need to add a bit of string/cord to the bag
