The BEST ways to wash your clothes in less than 15 minutes when traveling.
Isn’t it just the worst when your traveling and you get a stain on your clothes? When traveling light, having a pile of dirty clothes can limit wardrobe options. Here are some tips and methods to help you wash out clothes in less than 15 mins.
Tip #1: Know your stains! Protein based (e.g blood), Body Soil based (e.g sweat), or All other (e.g food, wine, or pen).
Tip #2: You don’t always NEED detergent! Shampoo works just as well for body soil stains.
Tip #3: Pre-Soaking in cold water can help in the stain removing process.
1. Hand Washing or Spot Cleaning Washing
Tried and true, simply dampening a garment with club soda or water and agitating it (rubbing or creating friction) can remove stains. It can be done in less than 5 minutes. After, rinse and let dry. Adding hand soap may help for body soil stains.
2. Touchless Washbag (**my favorite method**)
This is something that I love for on the go travels. Place soiled clothes in the bag, add water, a soap, and create agitation. This bag is also perfect for soaking and has a washboard inside for scrubbing. When your done washing, you can rinse clothes in the bag again then hang to dry.

3.Shower Washing
I have done this in college when I couldn’t be bothered to pay for campus laundry. Take a shower but place a collapsing mixing bowl with your soiled clothes in with you. You can fill bowl with shower water for a pre-soak as you shower. Ultimately your washing the clothes after or before your shower by hand with your favorite shampoo. Rinse clothes and hang to dry.
