Soap is soap! Sodium Laryl Sulphate. Shampoo, shower gel or just plain imperial leather will do the same job. Trust me, I'm a chemist!

there you go.....like I said before..chuck any dirty washing in the shower and let the shampoo/showergel do the work...do a little dance on it all whilst in there VOILA!

Re: Travel Wash

I use ariel liquid gel at home, planning on taking that this year, as last year I found the travel wash to be of poor quality and I already have the gel at home - I'll just decant it into a plastic container and pack it in my hold luggage.

Re: Travel Wash

My smalls and swim wear go in the shower with me.

I buy a small box of soap powder/liquid (didn't know about this wash) and take it with me for other things and just wash in the sink.

Although I always take a tube of travel wash I invariably wash things out in soap and it does the job quite well. My main problem is where to dry them. Some hotels have drying rails on the balcony so I always take some large pegs but in others it's more difficult.

Re: Travel Wash

Get yourself a travel washing line - loads on ebay! They often have suction pads that are supposed to fix onto tiles but I find they don't stay put. I tend to put it out on the balcony and secure it round the railings. Mine is a 'pegless' one where you push the clothes through the elastic cords but I usually take some pegs in any case.

Re: Travel Wash

You can usually pick up travel lines in pound shops or Matalan. However they are just a few metres of line and a dozen pegs!

Re: Travel Wash

Mine is 2 strong elasticated cords twisted together with suction pads/hooks on each end. I do take some pegs with me but they are not necessary as you can push the washing through the gaps in the line - works very well with socks etc.

Re: Travel Wash

I don't take travel wash, I prefer not to wash anything but if I do need to I just use shampoo then rinse them in a little conditioner to make the soft. We have a washing machine this year too so I may stick some things through before we come home, not too much though, putting the washing machine on whilst on holiday sounds like too much work to me :rofl
