What Laundry Soaps to Use While Traveling?
Doing laundry while traveling is one of the fabulous part of traveling but it is part of everyday life on the road. It does not matter if you’re staying at a five star resort on a two-week vacation or a budget option accommodation during a long-term trip, dealing with laundry while traveling is something you will have to address.
Liquid laundry soap: Liquid laundry soap is the best for washing clothing, that’s why if you go to a store that’s all you will find. It’s not economic to travel with though. You can easily fill a small bottle with liquid laundry soap for those shorter trips but this is not a great option for long term traveling.

What Laundry Soaps to Use While Traveling?
Make sure you buy laundry soap that does not require hot water. Hot water can be hard to get. You can buy laundry soap all around the world and it vary in price and quality. This may sound strange, but we like to carry our own soap from the states when we travel. When we run out, we replace with whtaever we can find locally, but we’ve found that having good laundry soap goes a long way towards clean clothing.
Powder laundry soap: Carrying a bag of laundry powder has worked the best for us. Yes, it looks funny flying with a bag filled with white power but we’ve never had issues or even had it looked at. This does mean a space and weight commitment, but for us it is worth it.
Laundry powder sheets: There is a good and bad with laundry powder sheets. They are lightweight but you do not get as many washings out of them as you would with other forms of soap. This is a great option for shorter trips or if you are concerned about weight and space.
Laundry pods: Laundry pods work well but they take up lots of room, for us we need the room for other gear but the pods can be a great option for shorter trips.

Make sure while traveling with any type of soap that you keep it away from other items in your bags, such as food or plastics. Pack it as far away from other items as you can.
