FAQ’S
What are Lavario’s dimensions and weight?
Lavario is 19” wide x 31” tall (including the handle), and weighs under 10 lbs.
What’s a typical load?
A typical load might consist of a pair of jeans, shirt, t-shirt,
underwear and socks.
How much water is required?
We suggest 10 gallons (5 to wash + 5 to rinse), but you may
certainly use less for smaller loads and to conserve water.
Can I stuff the basket full of clothes?
Fill the basket loosely so that the water flows freely through the clothes.
Does it take a lot of arm strength to cycle up and down?
Not at all... Only minimal arm strength is needed because gravity does
the work on the down-stroke and buoyancy makes the up-stroke easy.
May I use any detergent?
Yes, you may use any detergent you like.
May I use bleach?
Yes, but we highly recommend wearing eye protection and old cloth-
ing/shoes in case of splashing.
How do I wring the clothes?
The bottom of the basket was designed to help remove excess water.
Just remove your clothing from the basket and place them in the bot-
tom of the bucket. Use the basket to push down on your clothes and
gently wring. Depending on the item you’re washing, you may need to
hand-wring to shorten drying time.
Can I wash clothes outside?
Absolutely! You may consider purchasing our RV Kit to wash clothes
outdoors.
How much is shipping?

lower 48 states. If you live in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or outside the
