[QUOTE="t2andreo, post: 660530, member: 25553"] Many of us do our hand wash in available sinks, using a rubber stopper. For soap, we generally use whatever we washed our bodies with. Others, myself included, and especially if in an albergue, will simply go into the shower wearing our t-shirt or polo shirt, socks and undergarments needing washing. They are soaped and rinsed first, then wrung out and rinsed while still in the shower. It makes total sense one you do it the first time. After you exit the shower, towel off and put a second set of clean, dry undergarments and top garment on, you can use your damp towel to do a 'roll and stomp' on the wrung out socks and undergarments. This removes like 95 percent of the water. If you followed the advice in this forum and used synthetic fabric or wool, the very damp garments will dry overnight. Hanging in the fresh air is preferable. I usually include my t-shirt or polo shirt in the above all-in-one wash routine. If I am staying in private / commercial accommodations, I usually use the sink, do the roll and stomp using their towels, and hang clothing on available hangers. I have even developed a clever method for using a hiking pole as a clothes hanging rod in front of an open hostal or hotel room window to air dry stuff in my room. It works great... I have developed a small 'kit' that travels with me, domestically, internationally, or on Camino... My clothes drying kit contains a couple of large plastic 'S' hooks, a couple of light metal "S" hooks, and four long, heavy duty rubber bands (actually bin bag-holding rubber bands). I also carry three, folding plastic hangers. If a place does not have hangers, I do. One holds my polo or t-shirt, one holds my boxer shorts and the third holds my two pair of socks to dry overnight. My 'system' involves suspending one of my hiking poles horizontally and parallel to the curtain rod in the room. Once it is dark, no one can see it from outside anyway... Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
