The longest it ever takes me is 20 minutes (and that's if I put it off for a few days and have a lot to wash). Even if your hotel or AirBnB has a laundry room and machines, just knowing how to do this is hugely beneficial, since anything can happen - machine malfunctions - changes of plans, etc. 2:20 Part 1 - Pre-Clean I always bring my own cheap electric toothbrush, so complimentary ones from hotels are what I use for spot-treating bad stains. If you're interested in checking out the electric toothbrush I bring on all my trips, you can find it on Amazon here: 🔗👉 My Travel Electric Toothbrush on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3OkGDkf 3:05 Part 2 - Cleaning As you saw in the video, Indonesia happens to have very small packs of laundry detergent - this is ideal as a one-bag traveler, since convenience stores and groceries usually have options that are annoying large to lug around. That said, if you're just going for a short trip, packing your own in a TSA-approved reusable bottle is the best option. 4:10 Part 3 - Post-Clean If I'm at a hotel (which I usually am), I always ask the hotel for a few extra towels the moment I check in, specifically to expedite drying. Remember, the most important thing to me, is getting all clothes onto a hanger IMMEDIATELY after wringing, then, while it's still as damp as it'll be, to gently tug in all directions to eliminate future wrinkles once it's dry. 5:48 Best Case Scenario No matter where you go on earth, you can open Google Maps and type in YOUR OWN language "Laundry Near Me", and it'll find all laundromats and full service shops near your current location (amazing, how you can be in Japan, and type those words in French, and it'll find all your nearby options. 6:59 Don’t Forget Footwear One thing I didn't mention in this video is that the only way I can keep my one pair of white sneakers so fresh, is because whenever I buy new shoes, and after I deep clean shoes, I always spray a protective spray called Crep Protect. You can search reviews of that spray on YouTube, but if you take my word for it... 🔗👉 Crep Protect Shoe Spray on Amazon: https://amzn.to/48Mw4O7 7:49 Mid Case Scenario Laundromats rock. Especially in clean and safe areas where they are open 24 hours. In fact, every new place I travel, this is one of the "activities" I actively TRY to do, haha, since I find it such a fantastic litmus test on general cost-of-living and a great place to meet locals. #Travel #OneBagTravel #TravelTips Want to connect more?
