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.

      Mommy (or daddy) ain’t teaching this stuff. My mom (silent gen) barely taught me laundry as she assumed I would have a woman to do it.

      My kid’s mom (Gen X) does EVERYTHING for them. When they’re at my house I’m non-stop showing, teaching and getting them involved with domestic chores.

      When we (Gen X) got to college, none of the guys on my dorm floor knew how to manage laundry.

      tl;dr: It’s not the kid’s fault.

        I pretty much taught myself or watched youtube videos on 90% of what I know about my laundry , sewing and clothing in general and Im a millenial .

        Most young people arent beimg taught how to do laundry until theyre older.
