Elfreda Grossen: Well I have a washer in my place but no dryer. I have a drying rack to let my stuff dry.
Carolynn Testani: There is a laundry place two blocks from me. I give them a call, they come and pick up my laundry, wash it, dry it, fold it, and then drop it off at my convenience. They charge .90c per lb. As for my undies and bedding, I do those myself at the laundromat.
Elvie Drumgoole: #34...YA lyuBIT Novy York, balSHOye spaSIba. No i'm no longer a Russian, yet i will comprehend and talk somewhat sure "in simple terms alittle bit," ---lol---. possibly i will word a job to be a doorman?...i'm in simple terms kidding, hehehe...
Asley Quickle: There are several options:a. Live the clothes in the washer/dryers, go do something else, and come back. This usually works, but sometimes the clothes get stolen.b. Bring something to do in the room with the washers/dryers. For example, bring your computer and use Yahoo Answers.c. Use an expensive laundr! y service.d. Spend a lot of money to get an washer and a dryer in your apartment.e. Take your laundry with you when visiting someone who has a house with a washer and dryer....Show more
Lorelei Lilburn: A lot of people who don't have machines in their building or a laundromat close by have it picked up and dropped off when it's done. Many laundromats offer this service. They'll come to your home and pickup your bag(s) of dirty laundry, wash & dry it and deliver it back later that day/night or the following day. You pay by the pound and they fold & fluff everything up nicely for you. It obviously costs more than doing it yourself, but it's really not super-expensive (although not cheap either). For some, the convenience and time saved is more than worth it. I have done this a few times because my job at the time made it impossible to get it done regularly (I traveled a lot).I've also dropped it off at a nearby laundromat and picked it up later in the day. Again, paying! by the pound and getting everything nicely folded and fluffed! . Very convenient when you're pressed for time. Nowadays, I drop a couple of loads in (I have machines in my building's basement) and head back up to my apartment, then go back down a half hour later and repeat for the dryer. I don't wait in the room....Show more
Fritz Sisomphou: I do not have a Washer/Dryer in my apartment, so I wash every two weeks at the laundry mat which is a short walking distance.I would go early in the morning or late in the evening where it is less crowded.
Hermina Ketring: I agree with everyone else. And I'll add that I do sometime go to the laundromat and do my clothes myself. Although it does take some time, it's actually faster than doing it in the basement of my building--where I often have to compete with other tenants for machines or wait my turn. When I go to the laundromat, there are always plenty of washers and dryers, so I'm in and out of there in an hour, hour and a half tops. No biggie.
Timmy Bustard: I always felt mor! e comfortable going to the laundromat around the corner because the creepy super always seemed to be around the laundry in the basement. You get one of those little wheeled carts and pile everything in. They're good for going around to the various shops, too - grocery, greengrocer, fish store, bakery, etc.
Chanda Wittwer: Sometimes it can be crowdy in New York's Public Laundry. But it isn't that tricky in NYC, my grandma would just sit and wait for the laundry to finish but meanwhile she's talking to other people that are waiting as well. You see many people can just sneak into cleaners and take clothes so that is why my grandma just stays there. NYC can be a dangerous place even if the neighborhood is friendly but you wouldn't want to risk leaving your laundry. I hope this is informative because I have lived in New York City for 7 years and I have done my laundry a couple times before....Show more
