How To Do Laundry on Vacation

So, you are off in some deliciously sunny locale and you realize you need to do some laundry…

Shucks! Well, it’s not so bad…Because I always bring one small container of delicate washing detergent and one of fabric softener.

You don’t need a large container, just one like you would buy at your local superstore where the travel size beauty products are that would be perfect for traveling.

You should look for 2 tightly closing plastic bottles with a good cap on them, maybe the size of a travel mouthwash - you know, like you would put shampoo or conditioner in…

…Be sure to pack them in your luggage you check, so you don’t have a problem getting through security and be sure to put them in a Ziploc-type plastic bag, just in case they leak in your bags, it won’t be all over your clothes.

That way, whenever you need to wash your undies, bras, swimsuits or anything else, for that matter, you’ll be completely prepared.

Check out my post - How to Handwash - if you don’t know how to accomplish this task.

* Tip: ALWAYS hand wash metallic swim suits!!! If you don’t, you may lose all of the metallic finish right down the drain. Even if you’re at home, never wash these suits with other laundry. If you are going to wash them in the washing machine, do so on delicate with delicate detergent in cold water - and you’ll still want to cross your fingers…Believe me - I learned the hard way!

Simply hang dry your clothing in your hotel room and you’re good to go…plus, you’ll have less laundry when you get back home.

Bon Voyage!
