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.
