Travel laundry: how to wash without a bottle of detergent

Travel laundry: how to wash without a bottle of detergent

Short answer: laundry sheets are thin sheets of detergent that take up almost no room, weigh almost nothing and can't leak in your case. You take exactly what you need: half a sheet for a small load up to 4 kg, a whole one for a full drum or heavily soiled washing. They work at every temperature up to 60°C, and by hand as well.

If you travel a lot, you'll know the problem: where do you put that bottle of detergent? It's heavy, it takes up room, and there's always the chance it leaks.

What are laundry sheets, exactly?

Laundry sheets are thin sheets of detergent, about as thick as paper. They dissolve completely in water and wash just as well as ordinary detergent. iZi-Wash Sheets are vegan and biodegradable, and contain no phosphates, optical brighteners or bleach. A nice touch: they're antibacterial and give some protection against dust mites too. Have a look at the iZi-Wash Sheets, 100 washes.

As thin as paper, and weighs next to nothing

A box of sheets slips in between your clothes instead of claiming a corner of your case. And it can't leak over your things.

How do you use them away from home?

Drop a sheet into the bottom of the drum, put your washing in on top and start the programme.

  • Small load (under 4 kg): half a sheet is enough.
  • Full drum or heavily soiled washing: use a whole sheet.
  • Temperature: the sheets work at every temperature up to 60°C.

Washing by hand instead? Dissolve half a sheet in water and leave your clothes to soak for about 20 minutes for the best result. One thing to note: the sheets aren't suitable for wool or silk.

Why are they so handy in a suitcase?

It comes down to size and weight. You take exactly what you need for the trip, with no worrying about leaks. The sheets suit whites, darks and colours alike, and keep colours looking good even after plenty of washes. You won't need fabric softener either: the sheets leave your washing soft on their own, with a fresh cherry scent that lingers.

Exactly as much as you need

Away for a fortnight? Take enough sheets for a fortnight, not half a bottle that would last three months. Have a look at the iZi-Wash Sheets in cherry.

Are they a greener choice as well?

The sheets come in plastic-free, fully recyclable packaging. And because they're so compact, transporting them produces far lower CO2 emissions than ordinary detergents. They're vegan too, and not tested on animals. You'll find every version in the laundry sheets collection.

Who gets the most out of laundry sheets?

Backpackers, and anyone who wants to travel light. But even if you're just away for the odd weekend, or travelling for work, it saves you carrying a heavy bottle.

What should you watch out for when storing and using them?

  • Only handle the sheets with dry hands.
  • Keep them somewhere dry, out of direct sunlight.
  • Wash your hands after use.
  • Don't put the sheets in the tumble dryer.
  • Wash lights and darks separately.
