Please do not overload the washing machine. It's better to do more
small loads than one large one and risk breaking the machine. Also, due to our soft water, less soap is required to clean your clothes. Please do not put any sandy items into the washer or the dryer. The sand will ruin the moving parts on both machines, and they will need to be replaced. Also,
do not put salty clothing directly into the dryer. The salt will rust the
drum. Clothes Detergent is
provided but please bring fabric softener if you plan to do laundry.
An ironing board and iron are also there for your use.
|
Please put a minimal amount of electric dishwashing soap in the dishwasher. If you put too much (which is easy to do) our soft water creates a tremendous amount
of bubbles that will seep out onto the floor.
