      Just Mama:
      She mentioend it was the dryer and yes, the girls will be informing the boarding officer. But i also suspect they din use enough washing powder ...


      She still complains that her room is very warm. With table fan right infront of her, she still feels warm. She on level 7, top level - guess thats why.
      The boarding officers did not teach them how to guage the washing powder? I called before Sunday and spoke to someone abt this, she said they will take note šŸ˜›

      Anyway, I gave my boy a small tub of washing powder, tied a small spoon to the tub and told him, one flat scoop for low water level, 2 scoops for medium and 3 scoops for high. See how clean the wash are, then adjust the next time.

      Wow, 7th floor must be warm. Maybe need a strong standing fan to blow the stagnant hot air in the room, not just blow at her.

      We do not hv a dryer at home. Must we remove the clothing immediately after the cycle is completed? If left inside, wld the clothing smell weird?

        It is a portable hanging rack (L:57cm B:23cm H:67cm) I bought from Seng Siong cost $19.90, she can move the rack to anywhere she wants and is useful. Told her to share with room mate also.


        Ya should share and save $, anyway they dun hav many to wash per person. She share with 3 other friends.

          Although you use a dryer, it is good to air the clothes before keeping them. Clothes from dryer tends to have a smell so I prefer natural dry.

            Dont use dryer too so not sure how to use it.

            Told her to send all her laundry today and see what is being rejected. Very likely she will bring whole load of dirty home clothes home this week ...

            It would be good if they allow us to go to their rooms again this weekend just to ensure that everything is in order ... I being kia-su, i know! šŸ˜›

                I spent some time drawing up a laundry schedule this morning. Most of Thurs and Fri clothing wld be asked to self wash but bring back home for ironing. Now that the dryer might not be feasible, wld also bring home for washing.

                Just nice 17 pcs for free laundry svc (I count a pair of socks as 1 item).

                      BTW, her classmates used the washing machine and dryer yesterday - their clothes turned out smelly and they had to handwash again last nite :shock:


                      Ah? The smell is after the washer or dryer???

                      So poor thing I wld said. Good learning experience- hubby wld said.

                      Could you tell your girl to get the classmates to inform the boarding officers abt this smelly wash? I think this needs to be looked into. Who knows how clean the washer/dryer are?

                      Hmmm... makes me think whether to buy dryer softening sheets then.

                        I gave liquid detergent for low-suds front-loader. I bought the smallest bottle in the supermarket - nice and handy size, so next time just refill. No need scoop.
