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.

    Make sure your “white” are only white with no colors, texts and other designs you want to protect, before using bleach, it will damage them.

      I bleach stuff with color all the time. No idea how and when the machine mixes the bleach, but everything comes out nicely. I’ve had other machines that apparently dumped the bleach in there and ruined things.

      NOTE! Pure cotton will bleach. You don’t bleach a cotton T-shirt with color in it!

      One more tip: I do the bleach load last and hit the “extra rinse” button. Not sure it makes a difference with my current machine, but it’s helped on models I had in the past. Some of those would hold bleach somewhere and drop some on the next load.
