SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Long vacations often lead to a pile of dirty clothes. Although most hotels offer laundry services, the prices can sometimes be quite steep. If you're looking for a more affordable and quick option, washing clothes in your hotel room can be a great solution. Here are some easy tips for washing clothes in a hotel!

1. Bring Your Own Detergent
   To make it easier, bring a small travel-friendly bottle of detergent. You can choose liquid or powder detergent, but if you’re bringing liquid, make sure the cap is tightly sealed to avoid spills.

2. Wash in the Sink, Rinse in the Shower
   You can use the hotel sink to wash clothes. Simply plug the sink with the stopper and fill it with enough water, then add the detergent. Once it’s foamy, you can wash your clothes in it. Afterward, rinse the clothes using the shower to ensure no detergent is left behind.

3. Squeeze Clothes with a Towel
   To dry clothes faster, use a towel! Lay the wet clothes on a large towel, then roll it up and press gently. The thick towel will absorb the water from the clothes quickly.

4. Wash with Ziplock Bags
   As an alternative, you can wash clothes using ziplock bags. Place the clothes, water, and detergent in the bag, seal it tightly, and shake it for a few moments. Then, rinse the clothes with clean water.

5. Wash at Night
   Washing clothes at night allows them to dry by the next day. If there’s a balcony, hang them there. For underwear, hang them in the bathroom, and they should be dry in about two days!

With these tips, your vacation will be even more enjoyable without the worry of a pile of dirty laundry!
