Our travel essential! Product review of The Scrubba. We are always on the lookout for a good travel products and The Scrubba fits the bill perfectly! What a genious invention, this is the travel product you didn’t know you needed.

What problem does The Scrubba solve?

The Scrubba is such a fantastic additon to our travel essential packing, it now comes on every trip with us. Why? It solves a problem that we didn’t realise we had. On the road we would usually find ourselves washing our clothes in a plastic bag in the sink of our hotel. Which is fine, until we started carting around a ‘good’ plastic bag to use for washing at the next hotel. The problem really sets in when your ‘good plastic bag’ gets torn or when water is spilling out everywhere while trying to wash a mens t-shirt….

Why we love The Scrubba

This is where The Scrubba comes into its own. The bag is made of durable plastic and has a ‘dry bag’ like folding clasp closure at the top. Simply fill with water and soap, close the bag and give your clothes a scrub! No more water splashing out everywhere, no more tears in the plastic.

Does it actually clean better?

Absolutely! Thanks to the strong scrubbing board that is on the inside of the bag you can actually scrub your clothes to get them clean! There is also a handy clear strip along the side so you can see how dirty the water is and when to rinse. There is a fill line so you don’t over fill the bag which gives you a better wash as well.

But wait theres more!

That’s right, The Scrubba is more than a wash bag. You can also use it as a dry bag or a laundry bag! We love a multipurpose travel item, making it all the more perfect to pack on trips. It is also a more sustainable option, made of durable reusable material it will last. Each Scrubba wash bag saves travellers an average of 1000 litres of water and 7.5kg of carbon each year. Pair it with an eco friendly washing powder and you are reducing your footprint again!

Who is this perfect for?

Anyone in our opinion! As travellers we use it on every trip we take, so much more convenient than finding a laundromat and wasting a day there. Its small size means it is great for RVs and caravans, camping and hikers. We have taken our Scrubba everywhere from Kyrgyzstan to Jamaica and used it all over the world.

Where to buy: You can buy it on Amazon or direct from the Scrubba site! We love our Scrubba and are sure you will too!
