My kids love to get dirty. When we are on a vacation, they seem to forget that they need to take a vacation from being soooo dirty. Sometimes I have access to a washer and dryer and other times I don’t. In order to keep their stains from setting, I now pack a stain stick in our suitcase whenever we travel. After the kids change into their pj’s at night, I can spot treat any of the clothes before they go into the dirty clothes bag. Then when we return home I throw all the clothes into the wash already pretreated for stains.
Packing a stain stick works for us, what works for you?

I do this, too. I also take 2 laundry bags- one for kids’ room and one for us. The night before we come home, I sort darks into one and lights into another. I toss a load in as soon as we walk in the door and get it going.
Thanks for sharing!

Great tip! Thanks for sharing! Usually for vacation we end up at a relatives’ house so I just wash and treat the laundry all together. But having my own stain stick around would be helpful for those times when we are not at relatives.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
