The scrubba bag arrived and we tested it with 3 pairs of socks.... water got dirty, soapy and seemed to do a good job washing the socks in the pre-trip test batch. The clear window is great to see the rinse water, wash water and allow you to adjust. I did one wash ahead of the trip and have not left on the trip yet but expect this to be a really key part of my packing light. Well built, durable, good size, no leaks or smells... easy to use, good scrubbing "dots" or nubs on the inside. Great idea, good product and I would recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of travel, many uses. *by on Reviewed in the United States November 25, 2025* When I say we travel a LOT, I mean we’re home less than 13 consecutive weeks a year. Most of our travel involves planes and cruises, so weight and space matter when you’re doing this kind of travel. Back in 2019, I bought a Scrubba and we set off on a drag across the Southwest, on our way from Texas to Northern California. We did ALL of our laundry for 2 persons on a 4 week trip in the Scrubba. At that time I think I used some kind of pod for detergent. Since then the Scrubba has gone transatlantic and transpacific on cruises (when I didn’t have free laundry status), and without fail, our Scrubba has done us well. I’ve transitioned to dissolving detergent sheets and allow a “soak” cycle every load (20 mins to 2 hrs-dependent upon the FUN we’re having). There’s nothing wrong with my old Scrubba still but the older valve is a real trick to open so I’m very excited for the upgraded twist valve I now have. Getting set to take a two week long run on a Caribbean cruise and will report on her performance in comparison to the OG.The fastest method we’ve found for really getting the water wrung out is first twist/squeeze, and then roll up in excess towels or even quick dry towels. A basic 550 cord hanging line (tiny loop knots and hanging clips with pinchers-bought them also on Amazon) and some carabiners or strategic looping, often across the cabin, completes the rig. When rolling up wet clothes in towels, be sure to use the flanks of the towel folded in on the clothes, roll tightly and compress the rolled towels with body weight. Note that the extra towels are in hotels or on cruise ships; our quick dry towels have been used when no alternatives were present.Now about load size: I typically can wash 1-2 pairs of pants, 1-2 workout outfits (shorts & tank top), 4-5 pairs of socks, a bra or two, or a dress, or ladies outfit. Over time we have learned what works best for stain removal, vs everyday wear/use. I really love using the Scrubba with the dissolving laundry sheets. Everything smells so clean and fresh afterwards but not heavily perfumed. I’ve included a side by side photo of the OG green Scrubba with the brand new black Scrubba.I will update in December or after New Year’s depending on how busy we get. Another 4 month trip will start on New Year’s, and I’ve got packing to do! PS. We’re retired Veterans living our best life while stretching our costs, and acting kindly towards the planet and oceans (as we are able). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ pricey but works *by on Reviewed in the United States August 1, 2026* a little pricey for what it is.
