When we done overland expeditions we used a 20 litre bucket with a lid to wash our clothes. Basically add water to the bucket along with the clothes to be washed and washing powder. The movement of the vehicle washed the clothes. At the end of the day when we made camp the clothes were wrung out and hanged out to dry ready to wear the next day.
With the state of the roads your clothes should come out spotless.

I've heard of similar where someone in India towed a tub behind a bike or even while they walked and it washed their clothes. Makes a lot of sense.

With all those potholes in the roads in Devon that you reported, you could charge folks to drive your roads and wash their clothes at the same time. Sell someone the detergent concession, and charge per mile like the laundromats do... put a coin in he box every 2 miles or so...
You don't have to pay me for this idea, just send me a few million dollars once the idea takes off, or give me the tire and wheel alignment concession.
yeah right, yawn,yawn!
