Laundry - Dominican Style

Laundry it is one of my favorite house chores to do (compared to the bathroom - which I abhor).  There is nothing better than having fresh clean clothes, wrinkle free and ready to wear.  Or better yet, warm hot towels as you get out of the shower.......

Thanks to Dominica things have changed....introducing......our new washing machine.................


ME!  Yes sink washing has been our solution to having any type of clean clothes since we have arrived.  There are people that do your laundry but we are still searching for the right person (plus am I the only one who is a little creeped out that someone else would be touching my undies?????)  Any who apparently the service here is across the board - from crappy places that will leave bleach spots and maybe lose your clothes to those who have both a machine for washing and drying and you have clothes without wrinkles!!! Prices vary as well, but really where in the US can you get your laundry done for about $10 US a week?  (Sadly Kelsey and I have been walking around in wrinkled clothes for most of our time here since we thought peanut butter was a more worthy element then an  iron and therefor higher in the pecking order that was our packing list).

I do have a couple of leads on a few places (thank you Chelsea!) and hopefully I will decide soon, as the towels are not going to make it much longer without leaving us smelling worse than we did BEFORE we got in the shower.

Ahhhhhhhh whirlpool/kenmoore/ect. how I miss you dear sweet friend.....

Until next time......peace - bring it with you where ever you go!

Oh sad!! Did you ever call that laundry guy- Pat's? You are such a trooper though for trying to clean them yourself:)
