Staying clean on the road
Pack quick-dry, wrinkle-resistant clothing to minimize laundry needs. Use a small portable washing bag like Scrubba for emergency washes. Plan routes near laundromats in towns every 7-10 days. Carry a clothesline and biodegradable detergent for hand-washing small items. Compression packing cubes help organize clean versus dirty clothes efficiently.
Utilize campground showers, gym memberships (Planet Fitness offers nationwide access), and recreation centers. For quick cleaning, use biodegradable wet wipes and dry shampoo. Install a simple solar shower bag or portable shower system for remote locations. Microfiber towels dry quickly and save space. Hand sanitizer and a small spray bottle with soapy water handle daily hygiene needs.
Use laundromats in towns (apps like Laundry Finder help locate them), campground facilities when available, or portable options like the Scrubba wash bag for small loads. Pack quick-dry, odor-resistant clothing made from merino wool or technical fabrics. Develop a system for storing dirty laundry separately from clean items.
Solar shower bags offer an affordable, natural heating option, while portable propane showers like Camplux provide consistent hot water but need ventilation. USB-rechargeable shower pumps are convenient for short trips, and pressurized garden sprayers are efficient. Use pop-up privacy tents for shower spaces, and consider heated tents or indoor conversions in winter.
Use biodegradable wet wipes and no-rinse products for cleaning, and adopt navy showers to save water. Keep hand sanitizer accessible and use microfiber towels that dry fast. Consider gym memberships for showers and coordinate laundromat visits with these opportunities. Opt for products like dry shampoo to maintain hygiene efficiently.
