Laundromat Life

The joys of apartment living are many: leaky faucets aren’t your job to fix, smaller space means less to clean, and renting is nearly always the more affordable choice. But if there is one thorn in the side of apartment life, it just might be laundry day. Apartments with on-site or in-unit laundry are often premium options and it’s easy to convince ourselves that we won’t mind trips to the laundromat as we’re signing the lease. Fast-forward a few months, and if you’re like me, you’ll be thinking up any excuse you can to postpone laundry day. Lugging bag(s) of dirty laundry downstairs and around the corner to the laundromat is admittedly a first world problem. But as much as we might dislike the chore, skimping on efficiency and proper techniques won’t help.
