Today I finally had to admit that I don't have any more clean cloths with me. And I think I have bedbugs! I have little bitemarks all over my body!
So I decided to get my laundry done. Challenging for we do have 4 different washing machines in the house, but none is working. I checked out "I love my laundry" last weekend, there would have been food and wifi as well, but they only do cold wash. Bugs might not die in cold water - I thought.
So I went to the place my house mate recommended: Laundry on Long. They defeated her bedbugs she said. I love the place! It's not very spectacular, a little room with washing machines, tumblers and dryers - with a german lady running the place. I asked her if she does hot washing. She doesn't and she couldn't think of any laundry in town that does laundry hot! You would have to install your washing machine differently, if you want to do hot washing with it. Seems like south african people don't do laundry at different water temperatures! They do have different washing liquid that works with cold water. So no boiling the bugs out. But she thought it will get out. She was wonderful and Long Street is so close to my home that I left it with her. And I brought the two duvets and my pillow and all my other clothes to her as well. I think in the end I had 16 kg, two duvets and a pillow there. And: they deliver! If I had known before, I could have gotten my laundry picked up as well! I will absolutely keep that in mind!
I still can't quite get over the Southafricans only doing cold laundry! Hopefully the bedbugs will be done anyway!
