Scrubba Wash Bag Portable Washing Machine – Lightweight Manual Hand Washer – Ideal Travel Essentials for Camping, Hotels, RV & Baby Clothes – Use with Laundry Detergent or Hand Soap – 150g

Super useful for cleaning clothes in circumstances when a washing machine isn't available

Love this. It has been to Hawaii twice now. Great for washing without having to go out to do the laundry. Managed to do t-shirts and dresses as well as the small items. OK cant put much in if you want to give the items a good scrubbing, but it works well.

Used this to wash reusable diapers and the results are good, using non bio power detergent and hot water. Seems to be well designed, my only suggestion would be to add some instructions to fold it back into the neat triangle shape it is shipped it, so that the original cardboard can be used to stow it when it's not in use.

Scrubba Wash Bag 2.0 I'd wanted one of these for ages and finally cracked and shelled out the £45 asking price just before going on a camping holiday (only to see it go on special offer for £40 a few days later). It's a simple piece of kit - essentially a dry bag with the addition of a knobbly flexible scrubbing board inside and a miniature air valve on the outside. To use, add warm water to a given line, add some detergent and agitate to mix, then add a few items of clothing, then let out the air using the small valve - a small amount of water may come out through the valve if you don't stop in time. Letting the air out makes a big difference, because it means you can work away at scrubbing the clothes without fighting a bubble of air. Scrub the clothes for a couple of minutes then empty the water, squeeze out the clothes and rinse with clean water. I was staying at a campsite and this was more convenient and cleaner than washing my clothes in the campsite kitchen with rubber gloves. It was also more discreet - I could wash knickers in the kitchen sink in this Scrubba without everyone else seeing what I was doing. It's great if you just want to wash a couple of items every couple of days - say knickers and a tee shirt. For sale at the time of writing this review at £45.

Not yet used but instructions and reviews seem to indicate this is going to be the answer to less packing and washing during trips. Certainly compact and looks easy to use. Does seem pricey but hopefully does the job.

Bought for a 6 month trip. Started falling apart after 2 months while we were in Australia where they're made. I emailed the address on their website for a warranty claim and never had a reply to the 2 emails sent. We kept using the Scrubba. After 4 months of use - all within the instructions, the seals at the top of the bag have come off, rendering it unsealable and it developed a split, so it leaked anyway. Not impressed, will be using a sturdy dry bag next time, which does the same job for less money.

worked well on a road trip recently…

Was helpful on holiday for hand washing, but the bottom seal where it meets the clear window leaks. The valve at the top also leaks but you can hold the top up to stop this happening. No way around the faulty seal at the bottom though sadly. Poor quality for a good idea. Not acceptable for the amount it costs sadly.
