I know this is the umpteenth post about the absurdity of shared washing machines in a country as rich as Switzerland, but I’m so annoyed. It’s the second time in two or three years I’ve alerted the property management company that the shared washing machine is full of gunk and that clothes stink after washing. The first time, they replied that since I was the only one complaining, they would wait until other people complained, too. Eventually, someone else did complain, and they finally sent someone to clean it. Fast-forward about two years, and the problem is back. I emailed them but haven’t received a response in three months. In the meantime, I’ve tried washing at 95°C, using baking soda, rewashing my clothes, etc., until I finally reached my limit. So I’ve just emailed them again and attached a photo of the gunk inside the rubber seal. Both our bathroom and kitchen are too small to install a washing machine, plus we’re renting. If they continue to ignore me I guess I’ll have to mobilize my neighbors, but many people use such heavily scented laundry products that they mask bad odor. No wonder they don’t see a problem, I think that’s why no one complains… submitted by /u/Visual-Reason-579
