Under communism, how do we clean our clothes?

  • It's not really efficient for every housing unit to have its own washing machine let alone dryer
    • some people can dry clothes on lines but some can't
  • Washing clothes by hand sucks
  • Laundromats suck
  • Industrialized clothes washing? I have no direct experience with this

And it needs so much water.

To my mind laundry is one of the most intractable issues.

    Some places in the US have what are called "wash and folds" where your drop off your laundry and they'll do it for you, usually charging by the pound. You pick it up folded.

    Even some dry cleaners will do this.

    Obviously more expensive than a laundromat, but, as always, it's a question of how much you value your time.

      I was eyeing a wash n fold for a while but then I moved and now there isn't one anywhere close. I was procrastinating the whole thing because it felt too.. lazy. But holy fuck I hate the laundromat.

        Laundromats suck. No argument here.
