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

  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 I get ? 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 surfactants that shouldnt be used on merino wool stuff other than enzymes and bleaching agents?

Thanks to anyone that helps.

Edit THIS is a similar model of machine than what we have here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mWzJ1gw3-j8&pp=ygUobWF5dGFnIGNvbW1lcmNpYWwgd2FzaGVyIGZpbHRlciBsb2NhdGlvbg%3D%3D and I dont know how much trouble Ill get intk for takong off the back part and cleaning out the filter.

    Ah I see. I dont think our machines have that option. As the only buttons on the machine are digital and the only ones I see are to choose the cycle temperature (hot, cold, warm) , the cycle speed (delicates, normal, and heavily soiled) , and extra rinse

    Maybe I would have to do a special process to bring up the option to bring up the Machine Clean or Drum Clean Options?

      It’s possible there is an option for that in the settings but no need to look for it if it’s not obvious.

      Instead just tell the machine to do a cycle set to hot, heavily soiled, and with an extra rinse (remember to add plenty of bleach and not put clothes in for this).
