Title: Defeating scrubee bacteria Post by mastertangler on Oct 26th, 2010 at 1:29pm
The unwanted consequence of storing a wet dishwashing scrubee has always bugged me. That is namely, if stored wet it obviously it becomes a haven for bacteria growth. I think I have a solution, but I would be interested in how others deal with this.
I use a granite gear water bucket for dishwashing and personal cleanup. (You need to Login or Register works pretty well. I like the loop at the bottom so I can hang it upside down. The problem that I haven't had the foresight to deal with is the storage of a wet scrubee. In the past I have put it in a zip lock (don't want cross contamination inside my pack) but this invites bacteria growth. I think what I am going to do is to hang the water bucket outside my pack on a biner in the middle/rear (have to be certain it doesn't snag any branches) and then put the soap and scrubee inside one of these (You need to Login or Register and fasten it to the water bucket. Use the mesh portion to store the scrubee (allowing it to dry) and the interior pocket to store the soap. Seems ideal. Anyway, thought I would share that. The website (You need to Login or Register has some things that could be of interest. |
