1. Why does lemmy not have a laundry dedicated forum? How have lemmy been a thing for this long with no laundry dedicated forum?

  2. I live in an apartment where there are public washing machines available but the filter for the washing machines are DEFINITRLY not regularly cleaned (most of my laundry smells like vomit right now T-T) so should I just clean it all on my own? in the wash bin? What tyoe of wash bin should ? What else should I consider?

  3. If I do get a washbin do you have any suggestions as to what washbin I should get or sny special considerations I should consider? I plan on getting a steel one. Also I live in canada

  4. I have a lot of merino wool stuff to clean so does anyone have any advice on suirfactants that shouldnt be used on merino wool stuff other than enzymes and bleaching agents?

Thanks to anyone that helps.

    True. But still useful knowledge a lot of people don’t know if you own your own machine. One time my washer stopped draining, no matter what it stayed full. Someone one of his baby socks got stick on the filter and clogged it. I had to call a repair company, they guy was like “let me check something before I start working on it”. He pulled the filter, found the sock and put it back it. I was expecting a 200 dollar fee for repair + parts. He said it was only 40 dollars for his travel time. Later on noticed I got a “statement” from the company. He marked it as “owner was not home, unable to access machine” which had a fee of 40 dollars… They included a statement that the ticket was closed and if services were still needed a new ticket would need to be created.
