I took some and found that too many were needed to get a good wash and that my hand had to be thoroughly dry before touching them. If not they melted and stuck together. A small piece of soap and a 100ml of shampoo were much better and easier to use.Has anyone tried those little leaflets of soap and laundry soap. I bought them for the weight consideration, but haven't tested them out yet

This is a widely reported flaw. Your pack can become quite moist on the inside with damp clothes, a towel that was packed before it was completely dry, and a sleeping bag that absorbed a pound of water the night before and has not been aired. The soap leafs sit in there and become a glob of paste after a week.They get all "gummy"
I packed the leaflet soap and shampoo from REI for my first camino (CF) last year for weight saving reasons. I found them to be useless. First, you need more than 1 leaf to have any effect. Second, the leaves stick together easily at the first hint of dampness (and dampness is pervasive when you walk in snow/rain!!) So I gave left them at the "free" table at the albergue in Roncevalles. I ended up using just small bars of soap for the rest of the 33-day camino, for everything: shampooing, showering, laundering....Has anyone tried those little leaflets of soap and laundry soap.

Ecover washing up liquid. Take a small bottle (strong plastic) and it will wash you, your hair, clothes and anything else you care to clean...(and totally natural)
Hi,
I´m asking anyone who have any experience; what´s the easiest and the most convenient way to do the daily washing?
I don´t want to carry more grams than necessairy.
Thanx in advance

How on earth did you know that??? On the serious side, I am not obsessed with weight. I just carry it, but I do consider what I put into my backpack.I'm sure you have drilled holes in it too. :lol: :wink:
I 2nd that completely, It is the best i use it everyday at home also. Low environment impact cleans awesome does not dry out hair or skin leaves a nice long lasting smell. I use the lavender https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...5LC9nGXjTUAKpWH11mRVuw&bvm=bv.62788935,d.aWcrI'm taking Dr. Bronner's unscented baby-mild pure castile liquid soap. It's good for everything.

The Botafumeiro used to swing every day in order to mask the odour of unwashed pilgrims.
It occurs to me that if we all stopped washing, the Botafumeiro would swing more often.
