> washing your bland travel clothes in a hotel shower with "hotel shampoo" - would surely grow pretty tiresome after a month or two
The probably isn't necessary. Depending on the locale/hotel, there are probably local laundromats or hotel equivalents.
You might even be able to convince hotel staff to run it through with the hotel sheets if you really wanted to.

On the other hand, I don't take too much of an issue with maintenance work and fixing broken projects. The issues that I usually have with these things are when restrictions are placed on me and I end up having to implement half-measures rather than taking the time to do a better job.
Agreed: when I was on the road internationally for 3 months, I always used the hotel laundry service if they offered one. Though if I'd known there were places like Freddy Leck (laundromat in Berlin with free wifi & serves coffee & cakes) I would've used that instead. Don't be a smelly traveller.
If you're prepared to take checked luggage, you can take a lot more clothes with you (or have room to buy more on your travels). Jeans were fine for me in Europe & even Vegas in July, though I'm used to 100F heat in summer.
