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. Review: Super helpful on my last trip - 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. ## Features - FAST & CONVENIENT: Get a machine-quality wash in just minutes with our patented washboard-in-a-bag.

This can be minimized by rolling the closure as tightly as possible 6 times. **Q: What cleaning products can be used to wash clothes in the Scrubba wash bag?** A: Laundry liquids, powders and sheets can all be used in the Scrubba wash bag (even shampoo or bodywash if you are desperate). Please ensure powders or sheets are fully dissolved before adding clothing to the portable washing machine. **Q: Does the Scrubba wash bag remove stains?** A: Independent testing shows that the Scrubba wash bag gives a machine quality wash. However, just like with your home washing machine some stains need to be pre-treated before washing. Travel stain removing pens work well with the Scrubba wash bag. **Q: Can I soak clothes in the Scrubba wash bag?** A: While the Scrubba wash bag is designed for washing clothes in just minutes, you can soak clothes if needed. As the roll-down closure isn't 100% waterproof, the Scrubba wash bag should be placed upright in a shower, bath or basin during soaking. **Q: What do I do if I have issues with my Scrubba wash bag?** A: Please reach out as we can assist with tips and tricks to get the most out of your Scrubba wash bag. We can also offer repair instructions and/or replacements for manufacturing defects. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as intended for a portable washing solution *by E***N on May 31, 2023* I am going to Italy this weekend, and I am packing light.

I thought this would a good temporary solution. This bag is way smaller than I thought it would be and however little you think you can put in it and have it work, it's even less than that. We found two shirts OR 1 shirt/1 pair of pants at a time got the most effective clean. We're able to do a couple garments every day but the wash is piling up. Washing everything this way has been VERY time-consuming. Mercifully the spin function on our washer still works, so we "wash" them in this bag until we have a decent load, put them in the spin cycle while still wet, and then into the dryer instead of wasting even more time by letting everything drip-dry. I also do not recommend rinsing your just-washed clothes in this bag if you can help it. I find it doesn't rinse very well that way. We transfer our clothes to a mesh laundry bag after washing them in the Scrubba and rinse them in the mesh bag so they can actually drain and wash the soap out instead of sitting in leftover detergent. I plan to sporadically keep using it for hand-wash only items once we get a new washer, and I can definitely see using this on a camping trip with no other access to laundry facilities, but it's kind of a lot for just 1-3 pieces of clothing and I wouldn't see myself choosing to take the time to use this on a vacation. ## Frequently Bought Together - 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. - Sea to Summit Lite Line Camping and Travel Clothesline - Coghlan's Bungee Clothesline --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/53884977-wash-bag-patented-washboard-in-a-bag-portable-manual-washing](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/53884977-wash-bag-patented-washboard-in-a-bag-portable-manual-washing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
