🧺✈️ SCRUBBA Wash Bag... Worth It? 🤔👕

I had to look up what it was as I had never read about it. Interesting concept. A little on the expensive side if it doesn’t work. A bargain if it does.
I’ll be following along to read if anyone has tried it,
And yes, your emojis made me smile.

I have looked at it for a few years but can’t justify the cost. Is it still around $50? Maybe if I had enough REI points to cover it…..

I use a 2 gallon ziplock which I’ve reinforced at the seams with mailing tape. I feel like I get things fairly clean using that as my washing machine. I can even do my jeans in it and have gotten mud out of them. I usually put things in to soak after my day’s activities and before dinner. That way they soak in soapy water for a couple of hours.

I’ll be interested in others’ experiences. I can always be enabled!

Look up "wet bag" on REI or other outdoor sites. Normally used to keep things dry while being out on the water, they work in reverse as a bag to fill with water, soap, and dirty clothes. They cost about half of that Scrubba Wash Bag.

I've seen then on videos. But I wont pay that kind of money when the large ziploc bags have worked just fine for me for years. Allowing the clothes to soak for a good amount of time before agitating gently seems to be key. And perhaps less harsh on clothing fibers than being abradedby all those plastic bumps. My granny's old washboard came to mind.

Back in my review days, I reviewed the Scrubba. My take....it does what it states but it may be overkill. Unless you are getting really dirty, I don't think it's necessary.

What I do is pack an 8 liter Sea to Summit Ultra Sil Dry Bag and use it as a portable washing machine. I put water, detergent and clothes in, seal it well, shake it a few times, let it sit a bit, empty the water, rinse the cothes and hang to dry.

It seems to work fine. The sac weighs virtually nothing and rolls up to very little. My previous one lasted four years. My current one is two years old and going strong.

A fan that actually blows cold air would need some king of compressor to make the cold air. What you can do is wet a porous towel with cold water and drape it over the fan. The air will be a little cooler. You could also fill a container with ice and have the fan blow just above it. The air will be a little cooler.

There are also some fans that have a mister attached. Fill the mister with ice water and spray yourself while the fan is running.
