Bag for quilts, curtains and delicate garments
The Aqualtis washing machine makes it easier for you
to wash even the most valuable and delicate garments
in complete confidence thanks to the special bag which
protects the laundry (this is supplied with the machine).
We recommend that the bag is used every time you
wash
quilts and padded items with an outer layer made
using synthetic material.
