One Hand Wash Bag and Plunger Set - Off Grid Washing Machine Non Electric for Camping Travel | Eco Friendly Portable Manual Clothes

I tested Dezitrek out first on the dog's towel and a filthy kitchen rag. Both came out smelling clean. Next I tried a half load of underwear and a shirt. Great results. Then a load of 2 t-shirts, 1 pj pants, and multiple pairs of socks (basically filling the bag up to the highest line) - that was some serious exercise, but everything still came out clean. I do follow slightly different directions than what's on the bag. The very first time I used it I had some trouble filling the bag with water, keeping it upright while stuffing the rags in. After that I put the clothes in first and then added the water. The other thing I do differently is after plunging the clothes for a few seconds (basically making sure everything is submerged and mixing the soap in) I close the bag up and let things sit for 20 minutes or so, then plunge again for a few minutes before dumping the water out. I've found that pulling the clothes out and squeezing the dirty wash water out does make rinsing them easier. The last tip I have is to use a laundry bar as it is significantly easer to rinse the soap out. I also add washing soda and borax (very small amounts) to the wash water. Just a note of caution - there's some stitching on the bottom of the bag. I don't know if they are just decorative or practical, but it is an area that gets a lot of wear and tear and in some areas the stitching is already coming loose. Even so the bag is not leaking. I have some plumber's tape waiting if needed.

I’m excited and love this! Tried it yesterday to wash a very smelly throw that my teen and dog use. The plunger is a plunger but smaller, however, it works! It even suctions the clothes I found. The blanket is clean. Still had to wring it out but it feels soft after using softener. Love the upper body exercise. I let it soak then plunge then soak then rinse etc. I got rid of my new full size machines. I’m never using full size again. I have a portable dryer coming but meanwhile the throw is line drying nicely indoors. It’s seems like a more gentle wash too even with plunging. This was a first wash for a red velvety throw. Not much color or lint in the water at all but it’s so clean. Everything has been great and I’m excited for this company to come out with more products. I’d like a large but it’s a great size. FYI, the plunger extends then twist locks into place. I didn’t find instructions but I just started twisting and pulling to figure out the assembly of the plunger. Update: I have found that I’m over agitating my clothing so go easy on it. My fabrics are in distress. I guess I really have too much fun with it! It suctions the fabric which I think may be harmful as I was over doing it thinking the suction was really cleaning them good. It was cleaning the dirt off and causing the fabric to distress. Just be gentle. Otherwise it’s great! Ladies Warning and Update: Using knees to wring clothes is pretty effective. They don’t get dry enough but ok. Mine aren’t dryer ready after wringing inside the bag so I must line dry a bit before the dryer. Hand wringing is destroying my hands for different reasons: distressing, pulling, and stretching the skin on my hands, contact with laundry chemicals and water, enlarging the muscles in my already strong now barely feminine hands (too much muscle building so I WILL NOT wring thoroughly again but line dry), and overworking my hands so they look haggard.

When we bought this, I honestly thought that it would be a disappointing gimmicky gadget. I was wrong. It is a very simple device that will certainly make you think, "I could have just thrown this together", but there are a few little features that make it worthwhile. Here are my findings after spending 10 days in the backcountry with a family of 3. 1. Great for getting kids involved in the camp laundry process. There are lots of places they can easily help, my 6y/o was all about it. 2. It works. Plain and simple. 3. It all held up after 10 days of daily use. No signs of failure. 4. The second spout on the dry bag is fantastic. After plunging, you can seal up the top, open the side spout, and kneel on the bag to squeeze as much water as possible out of the clothes. You will still have to do some hand-wringing before you can hang up the clothes to dry. 5. Really doesn't use much water. I would say about 1 gallon per "load" for wash and rinse. I appreciate the thought someone put into the system and I would gladly buy another.

My washing machine broke. In urgent need of something not too expensive to do laundry. Initially, I did not find the strap handle useful. Had to hold the top of bag for stability and to keep it open. A handle there would be better than the strap. Also the telescopic plunger would not stay in place and I would repeatedly have to re-extend it. Otherwise, I do get a great upper arm workout and better than scrubbing my clothes by hand. Update: After several loads in the past two days, my best solution in using this well made washing bag and plunger was to sit on the edge of my tub, bag in between my feet, the strap under one knee (I wish a strap was included on the other side for equal stability) and plunge with both hands so I get an equal upper arm workout! Another update: since I'm using this because my washer broke, I'm currently using those collapsible laundry baskets to wash my clothes, I still use the plunger instead of scrubbing my clothes unless that becomes necessary. I also recommend buying a clothes wringer, to avoid blisters from hand wringing.

We used this for washing our clothes while traveling abroad. It was great for small items like underwear and shorts. Definitely wouldn’t recommend big items or things that take longer to air dry like jeans. It packed super easily and it helped to use it to hold dry clothes in the suitcase. Using the laundry detergent sheets helped to also cut down on space and it worked well with the washing bag. It’s super thick plastic and very durable. I highly recommend for camping and traveling, it’s good quality for the price. The carry bag was very nice too.

We bought this for rinsing our cloth diapers while camping and it's perfect for that. Give a really good rinse when no bidet is available.

Ideal for t shirts and underwear. Very easy to use and store. Great product.

J'etait pas capable de dévisser le plunger alor j'ai pris des pince pour essayer de le d'évisser c'est extrêmement fragile je l'ai utiliser pendants 1 mois c'est tres long a laver le linge et ca n'enlève pas les taches d'huile ou de gras! Ca ne vaut rien!
