Urgently Need A Laundry That Uses Hot Water

[THAILIBAN]

Due to an incident (water damage) in my apartment while I was away for several weeks, mildew grew in and on my furniture, which I will have to dispose. the clothes did not grew visible mildew, but there might be spores of mildew on them, so I need to wash them as hot as possible to get rid of it. I don't have the space to operate a washing mashine in my apartment and always use the mashines in my housing area.

Unfortunately, I have no clue where to find a laundry that uses HOT water or has a hot water washing mashine. several years ago I already tried to find one in my vicinity as I want my towels, bed-linen to be laundered in hot water, but to no avail.

I know I could do it in a hotel laundry, but that would coust me probably many thousand THB (50 pieces or so).

so, if somebody of you knows of a place in Metropolitan BKK, then please let me know. Doesn't matter in which part of BKK as long as it inside the Metropolitan Province of BKK.

Thanks

If you can not find laundry with hot water system, you can cook (not boil, approx. 80-90°c) some water in a big pot , put some washing product and your clothes into the pot, wait 5-10 minuites then try to wash its again by hand.

Boil the offending items but also add some bleach (and open the windows!)

interesting...

do you put white vinegar into the "fabric softener" place in the washing machine (or in the detergent powder place)?

The best thing for mold or mildew on clothes is to soak them in a vodka and water solution. It also works for Athlete's Foot.

Just thinking outside the square ... why worry about the temperature of the Washing Machine ... go for the clothes dryer ... internal temps are way higher then boiling water @100C.
