A portable shower garment washer is an apparatus that utilizes existing shower heads to wash garments. The apparatus includes frame assembly, an enclosure, and a washing mechanism. The frame assembly upholds the enclosure and the washing mechanism. The apparatus further includes a length-adjustable fastener that attaches the frame, and consequently the enclosure, with an existing shower head. The apparatus further includes a water supply, from an existing shower head, and the enclosure contains the water from the water supply, as well as soapy water, around the garments positioned within the enclosure. The washing mechanism provides a pre-rinse cycle, a pre-soak cycle, a rinse cycle and a drip cycle within the enclosure. The apparatus is preferably manually operated with valves but may also be automatically operated with actuators. The apparatus may further include a first inflatable bladder and a second inflatable bladder that squeeze the garments in order to facilitate drying.

A garment treatment device includes a base, a water reservoir received on the base, a steam generator housed in the base and in fluid communication with the water reservoir, an air delivery system housed in the base, a pole extending from the base, and a garment bag having an interior space sized to receive a garment, the garment bag being receivable on the pole. The air delivery system is configured to provide air to the interior space to dry the garment in a drying mode of operation, and to inflate the garment bag so that an exterior, front face of the garment bag forms a cushioned support surface for supporting the garment on the exterior, front face in an ironing mode of operation. The steam generator is configured to convert water from the water reservoir into steam for passage into the garment bag in a steaming mode of operation.

A portable apparatus for washing and drying clothes, and a method of manufacturing said apparatus, are described. In one aspect an apparatus includes a washing unit and a drying unit. The washing unit includes a washing compartment configured to be collapsible, a water tube connected from a top washer end to a bottom washer end of the washing unit, a water hose extending from a side wall of the washing unit, and a wringer coupled to an end of the washing compartment. The drying unit includes a drying compartment, a power compartment, a fan assembly at the top dryer end and coupled to the drying compartment, a heating assembly, and an air vent. In one aspect the drying unit is coupled to the washing unit.

A suitcase-integrated drying system is an apparatus that effectively dries clothing while remaining portable and compact throughout transportation. The apparatus includes a suitcase, a rack system, a dryer system, and a drainage system. The suitcase contains travel items as well as the rack system, the dryer system, and the drainage system. The rack system upholds and suspends clothing above the dryer system. The rack system is extendable and retractable with the dryer system. The dryer system directs heated air to the clothing hung with the rack system. The dryer system provides a continuous flow of heated air towards the clothing. The dryer system preferably includes a rack cover as well to further contain the heated air around the clothing, further facilitating the drying of the clothing. The drainage system collects any drippings from the wet clothing being dried and preserves the integrity of the suitcase throughout the drying process.
