Tactical Wash Bag Patented Washboard-in-a-Bag™ Military Washer

Bottom line, flat out; It works! I don’t normally drop a review on a product because nowadays, a lot of companies market a product they claim which can do a certain thing(s) and that product woefully underperforms. However this Scrubba Wash Bag delivers on all its indications. I followed the instructions provided, used Tide liquid detergent and my clothing came out clean and fresh. Now, I didn’t have any way of testing or measuring this but it’s as many other people have said in their comments and reviews of this product: My clothes indeed came out just as clean and fresh as if they’d been washed in a conventional automatic washing machine. Use a good clothes line with clips and depending on your environment, the clothes hang dry in a few hours. I used my Scrubba while on a cruise ship for a week. I was able to reduce the amount of clothing I would’ve otherwise packed. Plus, I was able to avoid the $59.99 per load laundry fee advertised from the cruise ship company! Who knows how they wash your clothes (perhaps mixed with someone else’s🤢). So, not only did they Scrubba deliver on its indications, it paid for itself in saving me $59.99 in laundry with the cruise line, and bonus: it doubled as a dry bag for the on shore excursions I went on! So if you are still reading this review and you are still “on the fence” as to whether you should purchase this product, then I’m telling it’s a solid purchase so go ahead and buy it. Now the only thing I can say in disapproval is the price. $59.99 for this item is at the very top of what I’d expect to pay for this product. I’d expect to pay $10-15 less for a product like this but with inflation, cost of materials, etc, it’s probably justified but I haven’t done that research either. Yet and still, the product works and it’s a solid purchase and thus is worthy of 5 stars. Cheers.

I used this during JRTC rotation and the entire company ended up using this and eventually got ripped cuz someone rub it against the rock or wood or something....im sad.... i would buy again. this wash bag is awesome but i hope it comes with little bit more bigger size

I do like this if you are living out a suitcase or semi in my case since I’m a long haul truck driver. But it’s really just a dry bag with a little almost washboard on one side. Honestly wish that washboard is on both sides and the bag was a bit thicker. And a more quality base with a much thicker material and a small essentially pull tab on the bottom somewhere to allow the bag to hang upside down on a clothes line. I haven’t had any issues with the bags quality as of yet atleast but I wouldn’t trust it to last long for a backpacking trip. At end of the day I would still recommend this if it fits your life. How to use really. Ok after awhile I’ve noticed for a small load that I can do the best is to fill with 3/4 or a full gallon of water. Then add some liquid detergent I go up to the 2 on the tide cap. Then close and shake the bag to mix it up. Then insert pants and wash with some but not much air in the bag. Then pull out just enough to strain out the water/ detergent then wash a long sleeve and repeat washing and straining and do that again with undershirt, underwear then socks. Trust me socks is last to wash. Then if you need to scrub open the bag and use the washboard to scrub whatever that needs extra scrubbing like inside your socks for example. But after you strain out all the clothes and put it off to the side empty the bag and refill with 1/2 a gallon of water then insert clothes the same order you washed and rinse the clothes as you see fit I do it by hand in the bag and strain again. And then hang the clothes to dry however way your gonna do it. Then empty the bag. Advice Honest this bag is great at washing roughly a full set of clothes but not much more. And take note you should add extra water to begin washing if you have thick cotton clothes since the material will absorb a lot more water than you would expect. So if you where lightweight synthetic hiking clothes for example it will require less water but with 3/4 to a gallon of water it will wash a bit more before needing to change the water to keep it clean. Also I’d recommend closing the bag and letting it hang on a clothes line for an hour then empty the bag by putting it upside down then giving it a fast wipe with a towel to dry it out as best as possible then laying it sideways or hanging it back up until you need to put it away. Also since you are recycling the water if you have long hair it will be on the clothes after washing and rinsing so after your clothes dry run a lint roller on the outside and inside of your clothes a small travel lint roller is worth the dollar or two. And wash underwear and socks inside out.

Does everything it says. I kinda had to figure out how to close it to keep the water mostly in when doing side scrubbing but it's probably user error on that. I like the window to see the water. Used it 3 times and it's cleaned my socks and gym clothes just fine

This is the best travel device ever! Okay, second best, right after vacuum compression bags. I took the wash bag on a week long trip and was the only person in our group that didn’t have to pay a fortune for the hotel to clean our laundry. Did you know some hotels charge by the piece? I also brought dye free dissolving laundry sheet detergent to use with the scrub bag. This is now a necessity when I travel to keep my luggage light and compact.

We had an 18 night cruise. This was life saver. Cruise sinks are too small to wash laundry. The cruise we were on, didn't have a guest laundry facility. Fill with clothes, water, detergent, then I rolled it around with my feet, on the balcony. Then drain, fill with with rinse water, roll around again, drain, then hang dry your laundry.

We traveled a few weeks in Europe last summer and bought the Scrubba to help rotate our clothes. It was great. It holds an amazing amount of clothes. It can be a little messy until you get the hang of it. We washed at night and dried on a packable line during the night or the daytime if we had a balcony with a wall. We weren't those travelers to hang out stuff outside. Only if it couldn't be seen. It worked especially well for underclothing. It packs small and is lightweight. We used small one time use liquid detergent packs. This would also be quite helpful if you were camping or in a trailer for any length of time. NO regrets on this purchase.

It could be much more, if the textile of the bag was more durable like that in a real dry bag, and if the silicon teeth were on both ends. As you can see from the video, it is not that sturdy. I fear, after a few uses, it will get damaged and start to leak. The silicon teeth are on one side so it’s not easy to rub everything that’s inside it, and the valve does not let all the air out. All in all, it serves its purpose and it can clean mildly soiled clothes in small patches .

Dieser Wäschebeutel ist der Hammer. Habe im Urlaub jeden zweiten Tag gewaschen, und es funktioniert super. Kann ich nur empfehlen

Brilliant item for washing small items even though shirts and shorts

Take a couple of tries (socks and dry fit tee) before getting it right and how much of detergent to add in. Perform as expected.

Fantastisch. Elke vakantie (weekendje weg, lange reizen in hotels of op de camping) gaat deze zak mee. In combinatie met wasstrippapier altijd je eigen wasmachine bij je. Drie jaar meerdere weken per jaar in gebruik. Ook handig om eventuele vuil wasgoed te bewaren of mee naar huis te vervoeren.

when you're not using it as a wash bag you can use it as a dry bag in your pack. with this you need to carry way fewer clothes and can soil yourself an infinite number of times and it won't end too badly for you. go ahead and drink the questionable ground water. if you get gastro this can be the extreme backstop to your stinky situation. i'm thinking of making one just like this but as big as a bivy bag. then you won't have to carry any changes of clothes. just keep what you have on and crawl in with some soap and water and wriggle around until you are clean which hopefully will be long before you suffocate.
