Ask them to give you 4 quarters for a dollar each time you go in. Or ask the landlord to sell you the rolls of quarters since he must have a lot of them!!

One load of laundry is ~12 quarters. It’d make more sense to use a laundromat but I have bad sensitivities to smells due to allergies, asthma and migraines so when people use scented detergents, beads, etc. I have a hard time.

Yeah unfortunately (I mentioned this somewhere else idk where) they’re an elderly couple and one of them is having a major health crisis so I don’t want to bother them about quarters. Feels a little meaningless when someone was just on the brink of death, ya feel me?

I haven’t thought about how much energy and water is used for a load of laundry.

I don’t think it completely adds up, but I’m the youngest person in my building and definitely the only person who would say something about either changing from quarters to a new system or lessening the amount. Could be worth it at some point but I’ve gotten this far haha
