I’ve done that as well. I feel like kneading them gets a better clean. But it’s all good!

When I started reading this post I thought the obvious would be to seal the bag with the clothes & water in it and give it a good shake to simulate a washing machine-have you ever tried that? I thought that would work best & be a lot more fun han just kneading them :)

I don’t know, I’ve never used it for just washing.

A 4oz bottle lasts ~1 month though. I’ve never washed jeans.

hey, how long does a bottle of dr. bronner’s last you if you use it just for washing? i might end up getting a bigger bag since i would generally wash more clothes at once. also have you ever done this with pants or jeans? how did it go?

That is right, but the oils are transformed into soap in the soap making process. So there isn’t oil in the soap, even though oil is an ingredient. Chemical reaction :) Some soaps can have un-reacted oil or alkaline remaining, but that is not usual.

You’re right, Kelsey, but I have a lot of product sensitivities. *sigh* Life is so hard, eh? ;) I’m going to wrangle my husband into carrying some liquids, and I’m going to live in a ponytail. I have wild, curly hair, so it’s probably a lost cause to try to tame it on the go anyway. I’m just sad that I’ll be looking a bit gnarly in all my photos.

Don’t forget that most toiletries can be bought in-country as well. Bring the ones that are really special to you, and buy the rest when you get there.

“No problems” was all I needed to hear! And no worries – I’m addicted to lable reading. ;) Thanks for the great video. I’m not an ultralite packer (yet!), so on my month-long trip this summer, I’m trying to do better! I’m mostly worried about the carry-on liquid limit. I’m kinda girly. ;)

I’m an idiot. Anyway, I’ve been using this soap for years. No problems.
