Here’s how to make a “traveler’s washing machine” —

1. Pack a large, thick plastic bag and a small bottle of laundry soap.
2. When it’s time for laundry, fill the bag with about a gallon of water and add a scoop of detergent.
3. A few sloshes of the bag renders the water soapy.
4. Drop in the clothes, and shake the bag some more.
5. Leave the clothes to soak for at least 5 minutes.
6. Dump the water out and fill with fresh water to rinse.
7. Shake.
8. Dump out this water and squeeze any excess water from the clothes.
9. Hang the clothes on anything convenient to dry.

This saves a trip to the laundromat — and money.
