It has been a rough two years in isolation. Finally, the travel restrictions due to the pandemic have loosened. We can finally go on long trips, cross-country or internationally. You might be planning to spend weeks or months on your travel, and it is really tempting to bring your whole wardrobe.
But, with the weight restrictions and baggage fees, it is impractical to spend additional hundreds. It is safe not to overpack and just bring a few clothes and do the laundry while traveling. That’s often easier than overpacking and getting plenty of luggage.
You can always visit a laundry service near the place you will stay. But, if you want to do your laundry to cut costs, here are the 3 laundry essentials you should bring during your travel.
Sink Plug
Most travelers deny the essence of bringing a sink plug during travel. However, you should not assume that all Airbnb or hotels have a sink stopper. These sink plugs are handy when using the tub to wash your clothes. It is a great laundry essential for those who like to handwash their laundry during travel.
Stretchable Clothesline
If you do the laundry at the sink or bathtub of your hotel or Airbnb, then you need a place to hang your clothes. But, how are you going to hang them? Bring a stretchable clothesline. There is a braided clothesline that you can easily stretch to hang them easily over chairs or chairs and the edge of the bed.
Portable Wash Bag
A portable wash bag is a dry bag with an interior that can be used as a washboard. Simply put your laundry, clean water, and detergent inside the bag. Rub your clothes against the bumps for a few minutes and rinse them out.
The whole process of doing laundry in this portable wash bag only takes about 5 minutes. It does clean your clothes; after rinsing out, you can dry your washed clothes. The portable wash bag is essential for those who love to travel and camp, making their packing light and optimal. Moreover, you can fold the bag to the size of a deck card. It does not take much space in your backpack or suitcase.
But, a little advice from me, whenever I am unsatisfied with my portable wash bag. Especially when dealing with a stain while I am on travel, I bring my clothes to a laundry service near me. They always help me remove and clean my clothes.
Skin-Friendly Laundry Detergent
You have to bring a skin-friendly laundry detergent, especially if you have sensitive skin. You do not want to ruin your vacation with irritated skin, right? So get one that’s trusted. There’s no need to bring large bottles; there are travel pouches for laundry detergents that you can pack in your bag.
Final Thoughts
Laundry while traveling is a necessity, especially when planning to stay longer. It helps you pack lightly and freshen up your outfits. Do not forget to pack these laundry essentials on your next trip!
