10 Mar 06 The Saga of Doing Laundry
I don’t know what it is about the combo washer/dryers used here, but each load can take up to four hours to get done! The barrel isn’t even large, sized big enough for what we’d call a ‘medium load’ in North America.
The Saga:
- Fill up the machine (not stuffed)
- Put in your ‘washing powder’ (two tablets that look like giant pills, placed in a net pouch)
- Pick your setting from a somewhat confusing chart (just worry about the temperature, really)
- Notice the machine doesn’t seem to fill with water, clothes get barely damp
- Ninety minutes later, check to see if spin has completed which it probably hasn’t
- When the spin has completed, remove washing powder net-bag thingy
- Set dryer temperature to high or low and time up to 120 minutes
- When drying on high, check clothes after two hours
- Remove clothes that are wrinkled beyond recognition and hang to completely dry
- Go out on the town dressed like a prune because you hate ironing

HA, I suppose I’ll get used to it, but I can’t see myself being too happy about it :) Someday we’ll buy separate machines… I can dream about that for the time being.
