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.

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

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 to view media files and links)
has some things that could be of interest.  

By George that's it JJ. Even a drop or two of bleach in a cup full of water would solve the problem. As somebody who uses bleach pretty often you'd think I would of thought of that.

Perfect. I'll add an eyedropper full of bleach to the set-up.  Thanks jj.

Not to worried about putting a hole in a granite gear water bucket rather getting it hung and having it yank me off my feet. I hang my sandals back there and never had a problem. Of course there's always a first time isn't there :exclamation

In the past I've always just put it away wet. Don't recall too much in the way of negative consequences either. But I have a new system this coming year.(No hassle, no stress, no digging around for stuff......everything categorically grouped via various sized waterproof duffels).

I'll have to give that water bucket hanging off the back of my pack a good hard look. Maybe I can snug it down with a shock cord of some sort (something else to get hung up   )      

just use it wet
don't sweat it

Make sure you use the green scrubees without sponge backing- just scratchy green mesh that can be shaken to damp dry and have very little substrate for bacterial growth.
