Old thread I know but I just stumbled on it.
The scrubba for me is a perfect little wash bag and is much better then washing in the sink I have found, I use this all the time when I am in camps for work. I find the washing machines tend to be horrible as the crews wash all their work gear in them which either leaves oil/debris in the machines or ruins them all together for the next persons. Anyways, at the end of the day strip off the socks, underwear, shirt fire them in the bag, give them a wash, I tend to go 2-3 mins of a good vigorous scrub in the bag. Drain, rinse once or twice, then ring out the clothes. Put in the towel and twist to remove the majority of the water. Then I hang it up and by morning it is dry. I typically have 2-3days worth of clothes with me and I wash every night for 10mins. typically right before bed or as soon as my shift is done.
What i have found with the bag is that you have to experiment with what works. I do not use the fill lines on the bag at all as I find it puts to much water into the bag making it difficult to actually scrub the clothing. A little less then what is required allows you to get some pressure down on the clothes and onto the scrub board. Soaps, I tend to use Dr. Brohmers or I bring a goo-tube full of my preferred soap (usually biodegradable, safe for environment kind). Remember a little goes a long way here, you only need a tiny amount.
I have had a few issues with my bag that I fixed with aqua seal, the vent developed a hole in it and was spitting water out. The other is that I find the washable is not ideal for washing pants. It can be done, it even gives you a warning if I remember correctly on the packing. Anyways you really need to be careful, I tend to turn the pants inside out so the buttons and zippers cannot puncture a hole. I also find that I sometimes have to wash them twice to get them clean, well somewhat clean.
other then that I have used mine for over a year, pretty much 75% of the time as I was in camps or away traveling in hotels or camping, etc. Hasn't been used in a bit as I have been laid off and am seeking employment once again and I have a washing machine here. Overall though I think it is a great idea to bring it along as it can extend the time btw proper washing on a trip or decrease the amount of gear you need to bring.
