Laundromat closed

Whatever works for you. I know what works for me. Personally, I don't use a washcloth on my body - they ARE germy. I find squirting some body wash in the old hand and rubbing where it's needed is good enough for me. A hand can get places a bulky washcloth can't. LOL

Not all washcloths are bulky, but yes, whatever works for you. They are only germy after you use them, which as why I only use once and then I to the washer.

I don't wear panties. I wear a nightgown that serves as underwear. I have a sensitivity to elastic. As for bras, in the winter I can get away without one when I go out - a bulky coat disguises this. In warmer weather, when I have to go out, I wear one over my nightgown so the elastic parts don't contact my skin.

42 nightgowns for six weeks, I hope then. Or at least 21. Curious as to how the nightgown as panties works with the jeans you listed above, but not curious enough to ask!

As for sheets, can't imagine going past a week without changing them.

Same here. Can't imagine reusing a washcloth without running it through the wash. And you can certainly find thin ones which is what I prefer.

Yup, I use the thin wash cloths. As for a nightgown for undies I donā€™t understand that at all. At 73, well, I leak like a sieve, šŸ˜‚, the realities of my life. Undies and protection, waterproof mattress cover and sheets. Got my washer fixed, it was under warranty and took a month, but got it fixed right before the laundry mat closed.

Remember hanging clothes out on the line in the winter? You'd take them down and they'd be frozen stiff but as soon as they warmed up inside, they'd be perfectly dry.

Yeah...they'd be dry and stiff as boards. My clothes have to be soft which means less need for ironing, especially winter garments. There are clotheslines in our complex but I'd never hang my clothes out there. I remember how much dust used to be on my car (parked in the lot) just a day after I'd get it washed. I can imagine the clothes would collect dust like that.

How does your nightgown substitute as underwear? :unsure: Never mind...I saw your illustration on this page of replies after I asked the question.

I like the idea of those items you pictured. Are they 2 separate units, either or both, of a washer/rinser, and the spinner?

Yes, mine are separate units. I fill the washer for the wash, drain and refill twice for the rinse cycles. I guess someone could get away with rinsing only once. The spinner is a separate unit. They do have mini washers with attached spinners but that wouldn't work for me. My Honorary Daughter has had one for a couple of years though and she loves it. Four people in her household.
 
I went down bright and early thinking I'd have the whole place to myself as I usually do that early. I've never seen so many there - 4 woman were there already when I arrived. Maybe because it's been closed for a while and everyone is doing "catch up". The place had a faint aroma of like hot electricity, perhaps there was a dryer fire and that what closed it.
 
HIP HIP HURRAY!!!!!!!
We have gotten the well up and running, Pulled the washer out of storage and set in the garage....
Literally a drop cord from the temporary power pole, and garden hose from the well....
Cold water wash and hangout to dry....but no more $6 a load with a 30 mile drive....
figure about 83 loads and will cover the cost of the pump replacement.
