9 Bathtubs Are Your Friend

If your sink is too small or too shallow and you have a tub nearby — what are you waiting for! Tubs are excellent because there's more space for more laundry (or thicker, bulkier items of clothing). Now, considering you're traveling and have no idea who's been in the tub before you, it would be nice to clean the tub before washing your clothes in it.

Find some cleaner or disinfectant and scrub the tub clean, rinsing it afterward, and then filling it up with warm water. Pump some soap of detergent in the water and throw your dirty clothes in to let soak. Take your time and hand wash each item before using the showerhead to get out the extra bubbles.

8 You Won't Need A Dryer

In North America, most hotels, homes, and BnBs will have a dryer. Typically, washers and dryers go hand-in-hand. But abroad, dryers are a luxury item because they use a ton of energy. If you are traveling without a dryer handy, no worries! You can buy a clothesline and pins from just about anywhere. A thick-coated wire, all you need to do is tie the line to two trees, pillars, or in the bathroom of your hotel (where the floor isn't carpet). Throw your clothes over the line or use the pins and let your clothes dry.

The best option is to hang your clothes outside so the breeze and the sun can do a quicker job.

7 Hotels Have The Hook Up

This may seem obvious but it's definitely not utilized enough. No matter where you're staying, many hotels have laundry services. They can even dry clean your goods if you have something special coming up while traveling.

6 Have A Sink? Get Scrubbing!

Washing your clothes in the sink is one of the easiest things to do — especially if you only need to wash delicates or small fabrics. What you can do is, fill your sink up with warm water and pump some soap into it until it's nice and soapy. (If you have a bar of soap, you can rub it around in the sink's water until the suds come off.) Once the sink is warm and soapy, use your hands and wash some items of clothing. Scrub off the dirt and grime and then rinse off the soap by draining the sink and using the tap. Twist out the excess water and your clothes should be good as new!

5 Laundromats Are Quick And Easy

In case your hotel or Air BnB doesn't have a laundry service, ask around for the nearest laundromat! Most laundromats are open early and close late, and they're not too expensive, making it a great spot for travelers.
