Soak Minisoak Travel Pack-Assorted

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.

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.

I use the Soak brand at home for my merino wool clothing. It’s a lot easier to travel with these packets than a potentially leaking travel bottle. They are rather pricey though but worth it to me for the convenience.

Good way to try scents before committing to whole bottle but such a tiny amount. Maybe ok for a child size sweater.

This is one of those items that are a SUPER-SPECIFIC buy. When traveling without reasonable access to a washer/dryer, these work well for small loads or delicates. You can see the water get dingy during the soaking time. The scents were pleasant and not overwhelming. You don't really smell them after the clothes dry. I'm glad I got these for a 15-day trip with adults and kids. I do have to say, when I did not wear gloves and I went to rinse the clothing (I know it's supposed to be no-rinse necessary, but c'mon! I can't let the stuff sit on there), my hands felt tingly and did dry out afterwards. Try to minimize contact with the soap if you have dry hands.

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.

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.

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.

Recommended to me by a lady in a bra shop - she gave me a free sample. Easy to use, smells nice and works!

As a recovering knitter, I have known and used soak for a long time for hand knit items, but have transitioned to washing much of my hand-wash items with it! The scents are gentle, and the soap is effective for leaving a clean, fresh garment. I recently bought the mini soak packages for some extended travel, and managed to wash a sweater, socks, undergarments, and a blouse in the sink at a hotel with one packet. Got me through the rest of my trip, and saved me hunting down a laundromat! Soak FTW! Will always travel with a mini soak packet now just in case.

Only 6 packets - not the 8 advertised and seller will not send outstanding. Product itself is useful for traveling and cleaning bras. Simple to use and overall great to keeping things fresh. Product may not be strong enough to remove some paste-based deodorant marks.

I bought these for a 2 week trip to Europe. Super handy and great scents.

You do not get the pack like the picture. I had bought this pack before this seller packs their own and it is smaller than the photo
