Abstract: The present invention discloses a mesh laundry bag, which comprises a mesh container and an elastic closure unit. The mesh container comprises an opening. The elastic closure unit is disposed on the opening to maintain its closed state. By replacing the traditional closure units like zippers with the elastic closure unit, the mesh laundry bag enables one-handed operation for opening and closing, allowing users to use their other hand to place laundry inside the bag. Moreover, the absence of closure units such as zippers significantly reduces the risk of clothing damage.
