SoakMinisoak Travel Pack-Assorted

Bought these for a long backpacking trip for places without laundry facilities. One of these packets in the hotel sink would wash a sink full of pretty gross clothes (I would rinse them in water first to get out some dirt). They smell great and true to their claim I didn’t rinse out the detergent and my clothes didn’t feel stiff or like they had any residue.

This stuff is really nice for doing laundry in the sink on vacation. I've been washing shirts/etc. in the hotel sink on trips for over a decade now. I used to use the tide travel packets, but the detergent can be hard to fully rinse out of clothes when handwashing. With this detergent I'm able to easily handwash and rinse once without soap residue, and my clothes still come out smelling nice. Overall, I'd highly recommend this to anyone handwashing clothes in hotels on their trips.

Smells great and works so well I love it. I wish they sold a bigger bottle of the stuff for at home use —the one they have is kind of small.

These have been used to wash clothes on trips including getting out one or two food stains along the way. The packaging in these packets is way easier than a fluid bottle especially for airport travel. One grievance is that the plastic outer packaging could be replaced with something more sustainable like paper to hold these packets.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I always travel with a few packs of travel laundry detergent for emergencies. I ran out of my previous brand and decided to try these Soak packs. I’m SO GLAD that I did!!My daughter spilled a whole lot of bright orange chili oil on my light pink cashmere sweater while she was eating. I tried laundering it at our AirBnB (we used the detergent sheet provided by the AirBnB, machine wash gentle cycle). The stain (and the smell) remained on the sweater and I thought for sure the sweater was ruined. Then I tried handwashing in the sink with the Soak. I agitated the sweater in the water and squeezed a few times then left it to soak for 15 mins. I could tell the detergent was working to pull the oil out of the sweater because after 15 mins there was a thin film of orange oil around the edges of the water in the sink. So I drained the water, refilled the sink, used another packet of Soak, agitated and squeezed, let it sit for another 15 mins. There was more orange oil film so I repeated one more time. This time there was no oil film after the soak and I took the sweater out to dry. The stain and odor are totally gone.The detergent is amazing and it was very little effort. Buy it.

Bought these on advice of Wirecutter and used them traveling for a horse show. They were able to get my daughter's jods pretty clean after a long day of showing. Bonus was not having to rinse them (and that is why I purchased these). The smells are nice and they are pretty easy to use. I would buy more in the future for traveling etc where you wouldn't have access to do real laundry.

We brought a few of these Soak packets with us on our "12 days/four hotels/many trains & buses/ONE carry-on suitcase" adventure, and not having to -rinse- all the laundry that was already filling the hotel room sink made the chore so much easier. The scents are pleasant and very light. It didn't have that strong "fresh laundry" smell you get from Big Brands, but I was confident that our socks and unders were clean, and bonus: we didn't have to pack three times as many. I'll be using the remaining packets for hand-washing more delicate items with full confidence that it's getting the job done. NOTE: our 8 assorted packets included two each of Pineapple Grove, Yuzu, and Fig, with one each of Lacey and Celebration scents.

I’ve been using Soak liquid hand wash soap for a couple of years now for my fine washables, sweaters, scarves, and even my dog’s sweaters. Soak does a great job of cleaning clothes and the light scent tends to dissipate as the items dry. Just soak and then I gently squeeze the water out. No need to rinse. I don’t twist my clothing. Just squeeze out the excess water the best I can. Then lay flat to dry ensuring I have hand-smoothed any wrinkles. My clothing comes out looking great, colors don’t fade and no shrinkage. I bought this box of individual wash packets for my upcoming business trips overseas. These will be great for handwashing in hotel room sink as well as give me an opportunity to try different scents without committing to a full size bottle of a scent I’ve not tried previously.
