What do you do if you have clothes to wash and you don’t have a bucket with you, and you also lost your universal sink plug to stop the hostel sink?
For this tutorial you’ll need a sturdy plastic bag and detergent.
(1) Hang the bag on the hostel’s laundry faucet and fill with water and detergent. Careful not to overfill.
(2) Check for leaks.
(3) Dump in your soiled travel wear.
(4) Submerge. Then leave to soak for an hour or two, depending on how soiled your clothes are. . .
(5) . . . fish out. Squeeze, wring, rinse, repeat.
(6) Dump out the dirty water and rinse bag for reuse.
(7) Hang up to dry and voilá. You now have clean clothes.

I have done that so many times. I always end up with skint knuckles.
Happy travels.

Works better if you can double-bag. Most of the time these bags develop small leaks at the corners…
