Scrubba Wash Bag Portable Washing Machine - Lightweight Manual Washing Machine for Travel, Camping, Laundry, Baby Clothes - Travel Essentials, Gift - use with Laundry Detergent/Sheets - 5.3 oz.

I am going to Italy this weekend, and I am packing light. I wanted the ability to clean socks, shirts and underwear. I took an Oxford shirt, a pair of socks and a long sleeve shirt out to try this out. I put in Woolite, water and the clothes. I rolled the top, and secured the strap. I proceeded to remove air from the bag. Then I rubbed the clothes in a decompressed state for about 3 minutes. Afterwards, I drained the water and added fresh water in to rinse. I did have to rinse more after removal but it is a viable way to clean clothes. The bag is a waterproof nylon bag. It has silicone knobs to scrub or agitate the clothes. It works for travel or camping I suppose. It’s pricy but convenient. Update: After spending two weeks in Italy, I wanted to let you know that this worked great. Since I traveled light, it worked great for microfiber clothing, underwear and socks. The bag has held up after daily use. Rinsing the clothes was better served by doing it by hand but the cleaning part was perfect. I do not regret buying this.

My aim is to pack as light as possible and i don't mind doing a little wash on a trip (typically in the hotel sink). The Scrubba however has made this all super easy and without issue. Spent 9 days in Europe and it was a perfect test trip for this wash bag. You can clean most things with it, though don't try to wash a whole weeks worth a clothes at once. Two pairs of socks, two boxer briefs, and a t-shirt fill the bag. I used some Tide travel sink pack sized detergent and followed the instructions. The clothes came out clean. If you have some pants, do those separately. None of my clothes were super dirty to begin with, if you have stuff caked with mud, well this may not work for you or you may need to rinse them first. To dry the clothes, I squeezed out the excess water and then rolled the items in a spare towel. I strung up the Sea to Summit Lite Line Camping and Travel Clothesline in the shower and things were dry by morning. The Scrubba folds up pretty small. I was able to pack it, the clothesline, and the Tide packets flat in a 1 gallon zip top bag. Easily fit into my carry on. Will definitely bring the Scrubba with me for longer trips.

Have been using a Scrubba for about 3 years, almost exclusively for our camper van. We go on multi week trips (no #vanlife) and ride, hike and ruck daily. The scrubba has a bit of a learning curve, but once you figure out the sweet spot for your situation, it works well. Took 1/2 star off due to the material -- ours doesn't leak, but we have to treat it gingerly. Our approach: Fill to the line with clothes (don't overfill). We use a squirt of Bronner's Castile Liquid Soap (Almond when able, my favorite). I fold the seal down but don't take the air out, and shake the Scrubba to get some suds going. Open the valve, bleed the air, scrub for two minutes. Dump into a collapsible pan (or your gray water tank), repeat the process with fresh water. That's it. then we dry it by rolling inside a microfiber towel. If we're good we can do an entire day's worth of bike gear in 20 minutes. If we have direct sunlight, clothes will dry -- and smell great -- in ten minutes. The Castile soap does not irritate nor leave annoying residue. What I don't like: I'm constantly worrying that the material will puncture or tear. You need to find somewhere clean and flat to scrub. In a true outdoors scenario, that is not always possible. Although it uses surprisingly little water —probably less than any other option—you still need to find a way to find, and dispose of, wash water. What I like: When you get the process right (agitating for suds was key for us), washing is quick and effective. When you're done, it air dries quickly, doesn't smell, and packs amazingly small. Required equipment for long trips. What I'd change: The little valve is effective, but tiny and fragile. I'd like to see something more robust for true outdoor use.

This works perfectly and is great for on the go. Great for camping and road trips for sure

I have everything good to say about the Scrubba wash bag. Its instructions are clear, simple, and easy to understand, especially since there's pictorial notation on the bag itself to remind you of the steps and proper use. Its construction is quality and sturdy and worked extremely well on a variety of different items. Pictured are the three pairs of socks, two undershirts, and a light T-shirt that I washed in two loads. Not pictured: the shorts I was also able to wash in one of those two loads! There's several techniques that you can use for washing with the Scrubba in addition to just massaging the clothes against the integrated wash board: sloshing, biscuit making, bread kneading, and of course just soaking too. If you're traveling somewhere for any time which has little or no machine wash facilities, or such option only at cost, I definitely recommend acquiring a Scrubba wash bag for the trip! It may seem a little pricey but it's proven to be an excellent value.

Es práctica y útil

Great product that i will be using frequently on my next backpack trip in South East Asia. I wish I had discovered this product years ago when I was away in far away land with limited washing possibilities. Very small in size and excellent for packing. Just read the instructions before using it! You must empty the air inside before scrubbing.

Très pratique c'est mon 2eme, et celui-ci je l'ai offert

Love this. Using it on a family world trip for small items and when we have a hard time easily getting loads of laundry done. It works super well, easy to use and packs up super small.

No ocupa nada y es tremendamente práctico. En mi afán por llevar lo máximo posible en el mínimo espacio posible, esta bolsa aporta varias funcionalidades extraordinarias. Mi uso es para emergencias, no para usarlo como producto de limpieza. A pesar de esto, he de decir que las 3 veces que la he llevado de viaje la he usado; he lavado un par de camisetas, ropa interior y una toalla, todo de manera rápida y sencilla. Imagino que la calidad no es tan buena como una lavadora al uso, pero es verdad que en 3 minutos tienes la ropa limpia y tus manos secas. No he usado detergente sino la pastilla de jabón que uso para ducharme y asearme. Primero restriego el jabón en la superficie rugosa de la bolsa, luego añado la ropa, después el agua (caliente si es posible), cierro y a frotar un ratillo. Al sacar la ropa, es recomendable escurrirla bien y luego enrollarla dentro de una toalla y comprimir con las posaderas. De esta manera estará suficientemente seca para poder colgarla y se termine de secar con el aire sin que gotee. En mi caso uso toallas de baño turco o de microfibra, que son superligeras para empacar de viaje y extremadamente absorventes. Otro caso de uso 2x1 :) Aparte de bolsa de lavado, también funciona como bolsa impermeable. No es algo que me interese actualmente, pero nunca está de más si la circunstancia se tercia. También, y esto es más útil, sirve para guardar ropa sucia o húmeda en tu maleta y que no se mezcle con la ropa limpia. En conclusión: es un producto curioso, inteligente y útil.
