how should/could laundry work? (hexbear.net)

Under communism, how do we clean our clothes?

It's not really efficient for every housing unit to have its own washing machine let alone dryer
- some people can dry clothes on lines but some can't
Washing clothes by hand sucks
Laundromats suck
Industrialized clothes washing? I have no direct experience with this

And it needs so much water.

To my mind laundry is one of the most intractable issues.

Yeah, the time lost to laundry in of itself is a pain. I could bring a book, but I still gotta carve out a block of time to do me and someone else's laundry. I gotta do it often as well, since I got a messy job and not a lot of clothes. I mean, I got a lot of clothes but it's hard to find the time to break out my sewing kit and fix up some of my pants.
