Hello. I just bought 5# of pond matrix and would like to split it up in a couple mesh bags. I was going to buy plain white laundry bags but the ones I saw have zippers. They're made to be wet in the washer. Does anyone know if these would work?
 
Funny you asked. I have used them for all my matrix, which I have total of 8 bags. I have total of about 25 liters of matrix in my sump baged up with laundry bags.. I only used the pull string versions so not sure zipper ones will rush out in the long run.. have them about 2 yrs straight with 0 issues.. cleaning them are a breeze.. just pull them out and rinse with aquarium water..
 
I have some with zippers. The teeth are plastic. The pull is metal but doesn't seem to rust

A fish buddy of mine goes to the grocery stores and asks for onion bags(plastic and mesh). They just give it to him for free.
 
I got lingerie bags with plastic zippers from amazon.

They sell these at walmart. I bought a handful of them today and got eyeballed by the cashier.
