Review: Surprisingly efficient - Got the idea from someone on a sailing holiday where fresh water is less available. Took it on our holidays to rinse T-shirts and socks etc and a few rubs, little rinse and it definitely smells fresher. I use a biodegradable detergent so I can just chuck the water out anywhere without feeling bad!
Review: Well made a must-have for travelling - Feels well made as great fifth. Refreshing up certain items of clothing if you want to travel, light and wash lights. This is ideal. Slightly expensive but I'm happy I purchased one
