Clean Clothes means Happy Campers
How to Hand Wash with Your Ecoegg Laundry Detergent Egg
Heading off to a festival or camping trip and wondering how to keep your clothes fresh without lugging around heavy detergents? We’ve got just the thing: your Ecoegg Laundry Detergent Egg. It’s lightweight, easy to use and perfect for washing your gear by hand – even when you’re off the grid.
Here’s how to get your clothes clean and fresh with your trusty Ecoegg, wherever your adventure takes you:
1. Prepare Your Egg
Pop open your Ecoegg Laundry Detergent Egg and make sure it’s filled with the magic detergent pellets inside. These little eco-warriors do all the cleaning for you, minus the harsh chemicals.
2. Soak the Egg
Find a sink, bucket, or deep dish, whatever you’ve got on hand and fill it with water. Drop your egg in and let it soak for 5 to 10 minutes. This wakes up the detergent pellets and gets them ready to work their festival-cleaning magic.
3. Handwash as Normal
Now, dunk your clothes in and wash as you usually would. The egg will be bobbing around with you, neutralising the dirt and odours. Feel free to swish the water and egg around to help it along. Got a stubborn mark? Use the egg itself to gently rub it out. Easy!
4. Make Sure Water Flows Through the Egg
Keep the water flowing through the egg as you wash, moving it around in the water, this keeps those detergent pellets busy doing their thing, leaving your clothes fresh and clean.
5. Rinse – But Don’t Stress
Give your clothes a quick rinse in clean water, then pull out your Laundry Egg and let it dry somewhere airy. Because it doesn’t produce soap, you don’t have to rinse your clothes like you would with regular detergent, saving you water and hassle, which is perfect for camping and festivals.
6. Dry Your Clothes in Fresh Air
Hang your clothes up and let that fresh outdoor air finish the job. Nothing beats the smell of sunshine and clean clothes after a day at the festival or in the great outdoors.
Top Tip: Keep Your Water at 15°C or Above
For best results, use water that’s at least 15 degrees (that’s nice and lukewarm). If your water’s a bit chilly – like from a campsite tap – no worries.
Just add a couple of kettles of hot water (or, if you’re at a festival, politely ask one of the food stalls for a cup or two of boiling water). This little trick makes sure your Egg’s detergent pellets are firing on all cylinders.
Whether you’re washing muddy socks after a hike or freshening up your festival tee, the Ecoegg Laundry Detergent Egg is your lightweight, sustainable laundry buddy – keeping yours and your families’ clothes clean and the planet happy, no matter where you roam.
