Sea to Summit  Trek & Travel Pocket Laundry Wash

Bought this for an upcoming through hike. I was looking for something light, small but strong enough to clean my clothes. I used my clothes from a day hike that I did earier that day. These were typically soiled, nothing extreme, just normal trail dust and dirt. I started out with 5 leaves in the 10 liter bucket. The dirt grime was not coming out. I added 5 more leaves. Still wasn't cleaning dirt from the socks. The water never felt soapy and never changed color either. I finished the clothes and hung them to dry. They still didn't even smell clean. I think this would be great for a traveler that just sat on a plane or walked through the city streets. Not strong enough for the sweat and grime that you get from hiking. I will go back to the liquid soap.

I picked up the Trek & Travel Pocket Laundry Wash so I could wash some of my laundry in a plastic bag while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. The instructions said to use 1 to 2 leaves of the soap for washing. 1 or 2 leaves seemed to do nothing so I added 10 leaves and there still appeared to be no soap in the water. I found that carrying a small plastic bottle of dish soap works much better for a fraction of the price. TheTrek & Travel laundry wash is a cute gimmick and would be a great idea but it didn’t work for washing through hiker dirt bag clothing, it isn’t strong enough. It may work fine for travel where you stay in a hotel.

I took this on a 6 week backpacking trip in France. Even though the package recommended using 1 to 2 leaves, To wash a pair of pants, a shirt, underwear, a handkerchief and a pair of socks with liners that I had been wearing for a few days took about 6 leaves to do a decent job in cold water. OTOH, the light weight, convenience, the fact that it could not leak in my pack and small container size compared to a small bottle of soap was well worth taking this on my trip.

I've tried several of these "pocket" products and this is the only one that works. I use them for sink laundry while traveling. 1-2 sheets for a couple pairs of underwear or socks, a couple more for larger garments. Great for packing light and reducing the number of liquids in you carry-on.

We spent 10 days in Israel and Jordan. These were a life saver! We didn’t want to use the ‘pay per item’ laundry service in our hotels, so I was super thankful we found these and remembered to pack them. They weigh almost nothing, and it was a great way to wash a few items in the sink at the end of the day. More items do require more ‘leaves,’ but we had plenty, so no big deal.

While traveling in Europe I used this product by placing 2 sheets in a large zip lock bag to hand wash my underwear and socks in the bathroom sink. I also used 6 sheets to wash a small load of cloths in cold water. In both instances, they worked fine. Note: My cloths were not soiled, but more from perspiration.

Did a lot of hand-washing in the sink while hosteling. Definitely want to make sure your hands are dry when removing the sheets. I used a couple for a sink-load of laundry which is more than they say you need. It doesn't seem to suds up, but it does get the job done. Nice scent, too.

This is a great product for cleaning your clothes when traveling light. I always bring a pack when traveling overseas with just a carryon!

This tiny package is so perfect for travel/camping. I like to pack light and wash out a few things as I go. Having a non-liquid detergent that takes up almost no space is great. I have used on multiple trips and would highly recommend.

So lightweight and great for laundry in the sink during European travels! About 2 - 4 sheets were good for a sink full of laundry. Definitely dissolves right away, so I pulled the sheets prior to filling the sink with water. Absolutely recommend this product!
