Worth taking with you
Detergent and softener are included at our laundromats. These three are not, and they change the result.
- Fine mesh laundry bag (set of 5)
So delicates do not get lost in an 18 kg drum.
- Instant stain remover pen
Treating a stain before you leave beats finding it after the dryer.
- Digital kitchen scale (1 g precision)
Weighing your load avoids paying for too big a machine — or overloading a small one.
