Using Your Scrubba™ Wash Bag

These 6 simple steps are all it takes to have clean clothes on the go:

• 1) FILL IT: Add water, cleaning liquid, and clothes to the Scrubba™ Wash Bag (20-40% volume).

• 2) ROLL & CLIP: Roll down top at least 4-5 times and clip ends (like you would with a dry bag).

• 3) DEFLATE: Open and squeeze valve to expel air from the Scrubba™ Wash Bag.

• 4) RUB: Press down and rub clothes against the Scrubba™ Wash Bag’s unique internal flexible washboard for 30 seconds for a quick traveler wash, or for 3 minutes for a machine-quality wash. For delicates, press and rub gently.

• 5) RINSE: Unclip and unroll the Scrubba™ Wash Bag’s seal. Pour out water. Rinse clothes with fresh water in the Scrubba™ Wash Bag or under a running tap or shower.

• 6) DRY: Hang dry clothes on a clothesline, pat dry with a towel, or get creative (hang on a bed post, over a chair, on a hanger, or in a tree).

Care & Maintenance

Follow these steps to maximize the lifespan of your Scrubba™:

• Rinse, invert and dry after each use. While the Scrubba™ Wash Bag uses microbial and hydrolysis-resistant polyether TPU, air-drying the inside of the bag will help it last longer and make it more hygienic.

• Avoid exposure to sunlight or heat. Exposure to temperatures more than 50°C can damage the inner and outer coatings of the bag. Where possible, dry the bag in the shade.

• Take care when washing clothes with zips, buckles, or other hard features: Wrapping the clothes to cover zippers, buckles or other hard features can minimize internal damage to the Scrubba™ Wash Bag.

• Avoid sharp or abrasive surfaces: While the Scrubba™ Wash Bag is designed to tackle rough terrain, where possible select the least abrasive surface available when washing clothes to make the Scrubba™ last as long as possible.
