Some hints and tips I've collected on the best ways to do laundry on the road.  |

And that's pretty much how we do our washing and drying too. With some slight variations:
Mrs Oz does the initial wash but I do a second, more thorough wringing as I have stronger wrists. And I do the wringing in the rolled towel. And I do the hanging of the damp clothes around the hotel room. And I do the explaining to the housekeepers who frown when they spot my underpants drying on the lampshade.
Ok, Ok... it might look distasteful, but it sure does dry the undies, especially if the lightbulb is 60 watts or higher.  |

Another thing that I always take are a couple of blowup hangers, to hang the t-shirts on. Helps the air circulate between the front and back of the tops and the hand hair dryer. After washing, wringing, then doing the towel twist, after hanging, I run the hairdryer over the clothes. Sometimes a few times before heading to bed. My washing always dries overnight, with that added heat help.

Yeah...I completely forgot about the hair dryer until I found myself using it last night. LOL. The blow up hanger is a great idea - especially with so many hotels using those hangers with the slot top instead of that curved top (to prevent theft, I imagine). With the blow up one, you can hang it anywhere. I'll add those suggestions to the blog. I also bought a luggage scales for this trip since the weight is so restricted and realized it can also be used as a hanger.  |
