These are the settings on the washing machine in our apartment! Thank goodness for google translator. Most of the translations were familiar: cotton, synthetic, delicate...Then there were those that needed a little more translating, like "without folding" (permanent press), "rinse and extraction" (rinse and spin)...and then there are the ones I still can't figure out, like "gentle boiling" and "volumetric things".
The first load I washed was just a sheet and some dish towels, but without a drying rack (dryers are a luxury in Ukraine) finding a place to dry the sheet took some creativity. You know how kids love to make tents out of chairs and blankets? It works for drying sheets too.
A couple of days later, after I bought a drying rack, I hung the second load out in the sunroom to dry. I think I may need to get some fabric softener. I forgot how stiff everything gets when it's hung out to dry. I will also have to get used to doing small loads on a daily basis instead of having one laundry day each week.
Notice the portable heater. It also came with the apartment. I guess that's for winter drying.
Gentle boiling..lol I miss you guys!
