The travel clothes washing technique

Once you learn the travel clothes washing steps, you'll understand how easy it is and why you might as well do this on your own.

Step 1: Drop the sink stop and fill up with warm water

Step 2: Drop in a few pieces of clothing into the sink

Step 3: Add soap

Soap is what makes the magic happen.

There's no specific scrub technique you need to follow but there are a couple of basic motions you can do.
