Laundry room

This is the laundry room I was mentioning to some of my friends. It's kinda spooky and Uncle Tan says it's the place where the zombies get alive at night. Which is good cos he would come back early after work on one weekday and we'll do the laundry together as he found it unsafe for me to go alone ;> So we had a schedule - every Wed evening and Sunday morning. We are trying to see if we could cut it down to once a week by using 2 washing machines at a time.


The laundry room is located at the basement, so even in the day, it still looks quite dark. The Swiss are ingenious in having a lighting system at the lift area where once you turn the light on, it will stay on for about 5-7 mins before it goes off by itself. So you won't have to feel your way back or waste electricity by leaving the lights on after you're done with your laundry.

A total of 3 trips are required - one to put the clothes in the washing machine to wach; two to transfer the washed clothes to the heater; and finally to collect them when done. The area does not have a heater, so each time we had to put on our jacket when we go down. The chilliness makes the place even spookier ;p


There are 2 washing machines and one dryer. The instructions are all in German. So we had to take pics of the washing machine and come back to do a google translation to know what exactly it means. Still, not all the words are 'translatable'. So everything is done is done in 'argaration' ;) Takes about over 2 hours to get the whole process done as the dryer takes a pretty long time to dry the clothes.



This is one of the rare occasions you'll see me ironing his clothes ;p That's why he took down this precious shot hehe ;p I'm no good at ironing so I leave it to the expert to do it since I had burnt holes in my clothes before...
