I live in a one room apartment. I do not have a washer and dryer. I’ve been going to the laundromat for seven years (except for one apartment in my early twenties). I like the laundromat because they have four and six loaders. That means I can pile up my laundry real high and then about once every six weeks take it down to the laundromat. Then after three hours it’s all done in one fell swoop.
Well, here is the first of many unforeseen challenges to not having a car: doing the laundry.
Here is my strategy. I have a huge suitcase on wheels. I stuffed it full and strapped the detergent to the extra bag loop on the front. Then I made the half mile walk to the laundromat. It worked like a charm. So far I haven’t had a car for a week and have barely noticed, but winter is coming.
Next time you go to the laundromat, let me know so I can follow you with a camera. That’s going to be really hilarious!
Perhaps you could find a laundry service that would pick up a bag (by van/car) and give it back to you clean? That way, you don’t even have to go there yourself, nor take care of laundry+dryer machines and their complicated processes
