Want to know one of the main ways I got away with traveling solo full time with just a carry-on? Easy. I just did laundry every week!

I know that may sound a bit complicated. You may be wondering where you’d find a washer and dryer, or if it’s expensive to send laundry out. But there’s a more convenient nomad hack for doing laundry when you travel!

Let me introduce you to the Scrubba Mini! It’s a smaller version of the original portable wash board that gets your clothes clean without making a mess or costing much. It has a built in scrub board that really cleans and gets dirt out, plus it can double as a dirty laundry or dry bag!

Check out this video I did during my Banff National Park campervan roadtrip! I’ll show you how I used the Scrubba Mini while hiking, and at my van! Or, check out the easy steps below!

Easy Steps to Using a Scrubba Mini to do Laundry When You Travel Light:

1. Add Small Laundry Items Like Socks, Undies, Swimwear, or Light Tops
