  1. Why does lemmy not have a laundry dedicated forum? How have lemmy been a thing for this long with no laundry dedicated forum?

  2. I live in an apartment where there are public washing machines available but the filter for the washing machines are DEFINITRLY not regularly cleaned (most of my laundry smells like vomit right now T-T) so should I just clean it all on my own? in the wash bin? What tyoe of wash bin should ? What else should I consider?

  3. If I do get a washbin do you have any suggestions as to what washbin I should get or sny special considerations I should consider? I plan on getting a steel one. Also I live in canada

  4. I have a lot of merino wool stuff to clean so does anyone have any advice on suirfactants that shouldnt be used on merino wool stuff other than enzymes and bleaching agents?

Thanks to anyone that helps.

Edit THIS is a similar model of machine than what we have here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mWzJ1gw3-j8&pp=ygUobWF5dGFnIGNvbW1lcmNpYWwgd2FzaGVyIGZpbHRlciBsb2NhdGlvbg%3D%3D and I dont know how much trouble Ill get intk for takong off the back part and cleaning out the filter.

Would you happen to knkw of the cheapest scentless brand that ships to canada please?

I was looking at this brand right here https://www.ecos.com/laundry/hypoallergenic-laundry-detergent-free-clear/ and Im guessing this one goes for about 100oz for about 25 or 30.00 plus tax baed on what Ive seen stores advertise online

I was also looking at this brand : https://store.eco-max.com/products/ecomax-laundry-wash-hypoallergenic-3l which goes for 3000 mL costs about 17.00 plus tax

I currently buy soak brand wool wash scentless and it goes for 2250 mL costs 90.00 plus tax which is kinda crazy IMO in comparison to those other brands

Unscented wool detergent is something of a unicorn i the western hemisphere, sadly.

If you can stand the smell, Perwoll is probably your best bet up north. I've never smelled it, but there is no unscented option. There's Black, Colour, and White, depending on your wardrobe.

Here's Black: https://www.reliableparts.ca/product/PERWOLLBLACK-Perwoll-Black-1-375ml-25-Wash-Loads/Persil-Detergents

....I dont tjink you know what youre talking . You said that ' unscented wool washes are a unicorn in the western hemisphere.'.

....my ni gga what in the fuck is you talking about?!

soak inc . is a canadian brand with an unscemted type of detergent. And then eucalan is an american brand with a unscented type of wool wash . bio vert and. eco max ALSO are americam brand wool washes which is enzyme frre and unscented but they have very little surfactants and therefore they dont work. Dude ....theres like five other brands of unscented wool washes available in canada , and the usa and probably even in Mexico and other places all over north america that are western hemisphere brands with unscented type of detergents . Only problem with them is that they are either highwayrobbery expensive or the surfactants in them make the detergent practically edible with how weak the surfactants are. My dude.... It took me 2 days to learn all of that. I was just trying to refind this comment to tell you how impossibly off the mark you are.

You have no idea what youre talking about . You need to grow up and do muuuuch better research cause you were Waaaaaaaay off... because wtf?! lol?!

Ive found that Soak has an unscented option but its 90 dollars for 2 litres which is kind of bonkers.

Are the eco and eco-max brand detergents I presented bad ideas for wool washes if you know?
