If you go on a long journey by car and on the road you needed to wash something out clothing, we suggest that you use the method that is proposed by John Steinbeck in his book "Journey to Charley". Put dirty clothes in a large bucket (20 liters) with a lid, cover with water and add a little detergent. Close the bucket. Put it in the trunk or in the cabin, as will be more convenient, as long as it is stable and will not tip over stood. Everything is now possible to go further.
You have turned the likeness of old washing machine. Water will flounder, whisking detergent foam.
After several hours, stop, drain dirty water, wring the laundry and put it back in the bucket. Pour clean water. You have included a rinse cycle :) Repeat it as many times as you want, to finally rinse the soap residue. Upon arrival at your destination, and pull the rope to dry clothes.
When washing, do not put too much detergent. If you care about nature, it is best to use biodegradable detergents. The most accessible of which is the usual soap. Rub it on the grate or scrape with a knife and you get a perfect hypoallergenic detergent. Besides great washes most difficult spots.
Another tip. If you want to wash some small things, such as socks, then use the five-liter plastic bottle, instead of buckets. She was hermetically sealed, and takes up less space.
This washing method allows you to save time when you wash yourself, and money, if you usually give clothes to the laundry.
