Why does lemmy not have a laundry dedicated forum? How have lemmy been a thing for this long with no laundry dedicated forum? lol.
. I live in an apartment where there are public washing machines available but the filter for the washing machines are DEFINITRLY not regularly cleaned (most of my laundry smells like vomit right now T-T) so should I just clean it all on my own? in the wash bin? What tyoe of wash bin should I get ? What else should I consider?
If I do get a washbin do you have any suggestions as to what washbin I should get or sny special considerations I should consider? I plan on getting a steel one. Also I live in canada
I have a lot of merino wool stuff to clean so does anyone have any advice on surfactants that shouldnt be used on merino wool stuff other than enzymes and bleaching agents?

Thanks to anyone that helps.

Edit THIS is a similar model of machine than what we have here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mWzJ1gw3-j8&pp=ygUobWF5dGFnIGNvbW1lcmNpYWwgd2FzaGVyIGZpbHRlciBsb2NhdGlvbg%3D%3D and I dont know how much trouble Ill get intk for takong off the back part and cleaning out the filter.

tonight I scanned rhe washing machines and I thinknthe filter is located behind or under the machine cause I definitely didnt see anything on the sides, top or front. I will have to move a machine out from the wall and see if I can clean the filter.

Will report back with results if someone reminds me cause Im super forgetful.

Edit: I cant do that. The landlord replied. Ill have to get my own washbin
