Laundry problem during traveling?

How was the quick and easy and effective way for hand washing the clothes( for cotton clothes in colors/jeans/polyester garment) to let get rid of the sweaty/stains/deo residues and the musty smell totally during the traveling trip (budget travel)? To put something what to get rid of those horrid things (beside of vinegar) to turn back nice clean clothes for another day right away!

Thank You in Advance!

    I would hand wash underwear with powdered detergent and try to get two wears our of outer garments (jeans, shirts, etc.) Bring 1 week's worth of clothes and every two weeks, find a coin operated laundromat and launder all your clothes. It will take a few hours, but well worth it to have clean clothes again and a fun way to meet the locals in a foreign town.

    Powdered Laundry detergent is much lighter and really strong. I would fill up a sink and let the clothing soak all night if possible, or at least an hour. Another great product is Woolite. Its really strong. I think the trick is letting the soap soak in your clothing for at least an hour. I also use a blow dryer for helping dry quickly.

    Have fun
