. 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 I get ? What else should I consider?

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

I have a lot of merino wool stuff to clean so does anyone have any advice on surfactants that shouldnt be used on merino wool stuff other than enzymes and bleaching agents?
Thanks to anyone that helps.
First tell the landlord about the state of the machines. Failing that, I’d consider just cleaning the washing machines. Would probably stay decent for a few months, so less effort than doing your own laundry.
If that doesn’t work, try to find a nearby laundromat with better maintenance.
Thsnks for suggesting and Yes will do. I read this : https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/consumers/renting-a-home/i-am-renting/landlord-tenant-responsibilities and there is the possibility that washing machines that have their filters cleaned out regularly is in part of the lease agreement.
No need to look into that, yet. Despite what online discourse might lead you to believe, not every landlord is a slumlord. Just reach out with something like this:
Chances are they will deal with it. Only if they ignore or reject the request do you need to check if they’re required to do it.
