Laundry UK style
Since I'm suppose to blog every day this month & I'm worried I'll run out of interesting things to tell ya'll I'm trying to come up with differences between the US & UK, which you might not notice as a tourist.Today's difference is laundry . . . and please let me know if I've just been gone from the US for too long so that this really isn't any different . . .
Washing machines in this country (or at least the 5 that I've ever used) are:
- all front end loaders
- have dials with settings for "30", "60", "90" which is temperature NOT time (learned that the hard way
- no time setting just a button for "quick wash" which is 30-50mins instead of 115-130mins of a regular cycle
- are also dryers . . . like after picking your water temp & reg vs. quick you then can add in how many minutes of drying time you want
How cool is that, that a washer can also be a dryer & you don't need 2 HUGE machines in your laundry area, which brings me to probably the last point
- washing machines are kept in the kitchen (again this might be true in flat in NYC) not a laundry room or laundry closet like I remember growing up.
