Washing me kegs

[Hymerbell]

Well three weeks have passed and haven’t done any washing (pants turned inside out and back to front already) so thought it about time. Diceded to go to one of these intermarche washing machines....I feel like I’m in that Levi’s ad....except I’ve taken me pants off. Trouble is it’s VERY boring....anyone know how long it takes....I’m on spin cycle. €4 for 8KG....€6 for 18KG...put an orange towel in so rest of trip will be dressed as Guantanamo inmate.

Is there a better way ?

The more you watch it the longer it takes, a known scientific fact

bucket with a tight fitting lid soap and water in a safe place while you travel, rinse wring out and if you have to hang them on the scoot to dry, they would probably fit ok on the mirrors

 

[Riverbankannie]

Yes, wash them out in the shower every day.

Do I hear Marvin Gaye’s “Heard it through the grapevine” spinning up? (the old Levi’s ad!)

Only ever been to use them in the moho. Wash is 36mins and then a starter dry for 15 mins. Plenty of time for shopping and a cuppa. Not sure why you're faffing about with a scooter

That’s not a bad idea...will look into it....definitely a tight fitting kid.

Ah well.... if I moved the MH I’d probably lose a really nice pitch with a lovely view....So took scooter with washing in backpack...

I can only just fit in the shower myself....

Wear a thong. You can get 6 days out of it by folding carefully

 

[busbuddy]

Dont bother wearing any

Have you tried naturist sites , no clothes no washing problem solved !

Always did the "Dhobi" in the shower? Socks and Jocks. The Steward got 50 rupees a month to do the rest! Trouble was, they would put starch in everything!. Have you ever worn STARCHED underpants! Eye watering!. Mind we used to use a steam hose on the Boiler suits. Throw some Soap Flakes at them quick massage with the Deck broom and then Turn the Steam Hose on them. Hung on the engine room rails they where dry by next watch!

Yeh!. Of course. Amazing what you can do in a 4 slide 45ft R-V!.

The reason why I limit my trips to 5 weeks maximum, is because I only have 36 pairs of pants

Reminds me of the old RN saying, 'Dhobi' 'Dhob' 'Dhob', 'Never go ashore' 'Never have to muster outside the Sick Bay door'
Not sure what it means?

Hi.
There ARE these units at Intermarche " Santa Comba Dao ", and we have used them when our washing machine died. Arrived to find them (2) spinning away with clothes in and not a soul in site,however they did come back before they had done the full cycle. There is a HUGE car park and a Cafe inside and chairs and tables outside next to the machines How long does it take ?............. Sorry,i was Bird warching

One thing to be aware of with the Intermarche washing machines, the soap powder is added automatically so don’t add your own!

Yes...I had just gone into the intermarch to buy washing capsules at great expense and then when I went to washing machine it said don’t add washing power...
