The Scrubba wash bag appoints Travel PR

Nov. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Created by Australian entrepreneur and backpacker Ashley Newland, the Scrubba wash bag is the ultimate solution to the laundry woes of adventurous travellers, backpackers and hikers, with its innovative yet supremely simple way to wash clothes while on the go.

At just 160 grams, the ultra-light pocket-sized device fuses old and new technology by integrating a flexible washboard inside a high-tech water-tight bag.  This very portable, hand-powered travel gadget only requires a couple of litres of water and a small amount of cleaning liquid, making it environmentally friendly to boot.

Managing Director Ashley Newland says: “The idea that a very old but highly-efficient system of laundering - the washboard, which has been around for centuries - could be incorporated into a sealable bag started me working on a series of experiments and eventually led to the birth of the Scrubba wash bag.

“Sourcing Laundromats obviously takes considerable time out of your travel itinerary. Soaking clothes in sinks or, worse still, having to wear less-than-pristine clothing are problems easily overcome with this device.  Anyone who wants to pack light and launder more regularly while embarking on a holiday will find the Scrubba wash bag an invaluable addition to their suitcase or kit bag.”

After cleaning out the competition as Australia’s top innovation in the Anthill Magazine 2012 Smart100 Awards, the Scrubba wash bag is finding its way into backpacks and suitcases all over the world, quickly becoming an essential travel item for adventurous and gap-year travellers, festival-goers and even for families holidaying with young children.
