HOW TO WASH YOUR CLOTHES WHILE TRAVELING - HOTEL SINK LAUNDRY TUTORIAL

[@ANEWCreationLimited]

Thanks for the tips! Doing some laundry today in my 21-day hotel quarantine in Hong Kong.

[@MeansToTravel]

So glad this can be helpful, and I hope you have access to the things you need! As someone who did a 14-day travel quarantine last autumn at a UK airbnb, I am sending you all the good vibes! ✨🌏

21???? For real?

Interesting parallels to how I wash my stuff in the sink (which I do with my lingerie), though I've never tried the "additional towel" for squeezing extra water out of my clothes. I appreciate that additional tip! In addition, try using hanger-hooks with clips off the end for drip-drying -- especially with undies -- (hanging your drippy items over a towel or some type of basin/bucket on the floor). I want to get some of those folding hangers, like you showed. I assume you'd reco using the iron + ironing board in your room to remove the wrinkles?

Thanks for the tips. I'll use them next month in Mexico.

[@MeansToTravel]

Really glad you found them helpful!! I hope you enjoy Mexico! What part are you heading to?

[@chrisholma3592]

@Means To Travel I'm headed to Cancun on June 1st. Can't wait to relax by the ocean and soak up the sun. 🌴🏖

We will do laundry in the sink if necessary but have never done laundry on a trip other than that. Saw you on the LIVE today and trying to connect with other travel channels. I have just Subscribed to you.🐸

[@MeansToTravel]

Oh man, you're lucky you haven't had to do laundry on the road yet! On our 3.5-week trip in South America in just carry-ons, it was AMAZING to be able to do laundry in machines at a true lavaderia (laundromat) in Bariloche! I always tell folks that they definitely need to leave an adequate amount of air-drying time at one destination if you do sink laundry! 😀

[@DaydreamAboutNiceThings]

Seen you on Viso's travel. Love the hanger and the tips ! Thanks for sharing !

[@MeansToTravel]

Thanks bud!!! I'm so sad I didn't see this comment until just now, but I'm glad we were able to connect during the crazy travel quarantine times!

Can I use powder detergent.. I'm on 14 days quarantine hotel.

[@MeansToTravel]

I’m not sure sorry, I think you’d have to read the label on the detergent container. I typically only use delicates detergent when doing sink washing and save regular detergent for machines. Good luck, I did 14 days of quarantine in an Airbnb in 2020 and my advice is to make sure you move your legs a lot!

[@leviyoung8890]

Yes ou

[@emmanueltrejo4226]

Sweet thanks

[@MeansToTravel]

Of course! Good luck!

You can ask some hotels to do it for you. If your tight. I've seen people ask before.

[@MeansToTravel]

Thanks for adding this note. As a guest you can certainly ask, but I would not depend on it, especially on it being free. The vast majority of hotels have a rate card for how much a guest laundry service costs, and it is often on a cost per clothing article basis vs. cost per load like you find in a laundromat. A select amount of hotels might have coin-operated laundry machines, which would be listed in the amenities section of their websites that you can see before booking. If you are staying at a B&B or a Guesthouse in Europe, I've found it is slightly more customary to offer a free laundry service than here in the US - but definitely not always offered. In my experience, it's offered in more remote places and almost never in cities. I suppose the answer to this is "it all depends!" just like a lot of things with travel! 😀

Many good hotels have a gratis laundry room or service for the guests. I tried it once, and the housemaids gave me dirty looks! People stating in $200-per-night rooms don't get dirty or sweat in the summer? Mote;ls usually have a laundry room, but they usually sort of dirty, and sometimes flooded from the broken or leaking appliances.

[@MeansToTravel]

It would be sooooo convenient if hotels let us do laundry in a machine!!! I think it's becoming more and more rare because they don't want to maintain them, and it's a risk that guests will misuse them. Such a bummer! But at least we can usually figure out how to do sink laundry like in this video. 🙏

[@amritapreetsingh5304]

Wow I never seen hunger like that that fold up that cool so after you done washing them you can hung on the top the shows so they dry I wash my clothes and under when I get my period and bras with dish washing soap or a soap bar then rinse with cold water and hung them over the pole of the bathtub to dry 🧺🧼🧼

[@MeansToTravel]

Thanks for watching!!

[@lesliechow9238]

I am staying at a hotel in Turkey awaiting surgery and my surgery has been post poned so I am stuck in the hotel with limited clothing

[@MeansToTravel]

Oh yikes, that’s a rough go! Hope once you get into surgery it all is smooth sailing after that!

[@charliedurham4248]

Lol, I thought you said "stink laundry" the first couple of times!

[@MeansToTravel]

Haha, even if it was stink laundry, I suppose these tips would still apply!

[@gustavoguzman1049]

36 hours drying time???

[@MeansToTravel]

Unfortunately, yes! It was very humid.

[@alidk5923]

Just a tip. Keep a wet wipes with you every where. It's very effective in removing stains the moment they happen.

[@MeansToTravel]

Great idea! Thanks so much for adding that tip!
