Wash Wizard | Washing without hot water

Not a day has gone by recently when I've seen a Tweet or Facebook update complaining about a broken boiler, it's definitely that time of year. If you don't have a gym whose facilities you can make use of and boiling water to fill up a bath is not ideal then Wash Wizard* might just be for you.

Wash Wizard was set up by four 17 years olds who wanted to make a lasting difference in the community, and even give a percentage of their profits to homeless charities in the UK. The Wash Wizard is a sponge, containing a body wash solution, activated with water and ideal for anyone whose boiler is broker or is simply unable to get to a shower be they at a festival, camping or similar.

For £7.99 you'll receive five Wash Wizard sponges which are small and compact and instruct you how to use as follows,

1. Unwrap
2. Splash with water
3. Squeeze to activate
4. Get washing
5. No need to rinse
6. Air dry

I was impressed on testing the Wash Wizard that the size was sufficient for my needs and how quickly the foam was dispensed. I did struggle with the rubbing in of the foam and allowing to air dry as it didn't feel natural for me but I can imagine in certain situations this is perfectly fine and drying off with a towel or similar is still something you might have to hand in certain situations.

The sponges are reusable although you will need to house in a sandwich bag or similar as the sponge will remain damp for some time, depending I imagine on where you are using or storing. These are such a handy little accompaniment for long car journeys if travelling with children, if you find you're often freshening up in airport bathrooms or perhaps a festival fan. I'm sure we've all used a baby wipe in a pinch on occasion but they are costly, damaging for the environment and I can vouch these sponges are far more fit for purpose.
