\"DIY<\/p>\n

As I am packing up and getting ready to head to Provence and then the Netherlands for two weeks of bicycling, I realized that you travelers out there might like this great idea.\u00a0 I learned how to make DIY travel detergent sheets, and they are so easy to make, inexpensive to make, and handy to have on any trip.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I don’t remember who told me about them, but these detergent sheets are great to have on a trip.\u00a0 Before learning to make them, I always took these detergent sheets<\/a> along with me but not anymore.\u00a0 In case you are wondering why I would need to take laundry sheets on a trip, here’s why.\u00a0 I only take a carry-on and a backpack with me on a trip – no matter how long I am away.\u00a0 My mantra is whether I’m gone three days or three weeks, I just have a carry-on and a backpack.\u00a0 So, I need to do some laundry in the sink while I am away. I don’t always trust a hotel’s laundry service to wash and dry the way I would.\u00a0 Mike always sends his laundry out when we travel, but I prefer to do this little chore myself.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Bicycling<\/p>\n

I carry my luggage on the way to my destination so it won’t get lost, and I check it through on my return trip because at that point, it doesn’t matter if the suitcase arrives home when I do. I have seen so many Americans struggling with too much luggage in subways, on buses, on trains, and in the streets and made a mental note to not let that ever become me.\u00a0 I don’t know anyone who has said they wish they had taken more with them on a trip, but I have heard plenty of people say they wish they had taken less.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What You Need<\/h2>\n

All you need to make DIY travel detergent sheets is two things – paper towels and liquid detergent.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

The Steps<\/h2>\n

Simply lay your paper towels out on a flat water-proof surface, and then drizzle the liquid detergent onto them.\u00a0 Let it soak in a little bit.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Don’t saturate the paper towel, and don’t worry if it actually soaks through. After you have added detergent, gently pick up each paper towel, and attach it to a hanger using clothes pins.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Hang them up, and let them dry.\u00a0 When your DIY travel laundry sheets are dry, fold them, and put them in a zip lock bag.\u00a0 When it’s time to pack your suitcase, just put them in.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

When you are on your trip and it’s time to wash out some clothes in your hotel sink, fill the sink with water, toss in a DIY travel laundry sheet, and voila, you have suds.\u00a0 Wash your clothes as you normally would by hand, and then toss the paper towel in the trash.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since travel season is upon us, you might like to give this little trick a try.\u00a0 Happy travels!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take care.<\/p>\n
