Sometimes it's easier just to load your stuff up and take it to the laundromat. I haven't rented in years, but I remember the horrors of using apartment laundry facilities. I even had some of my clothes STOLEN while they were drying! If you go to a laundromat you can do all of your landry at once, and usually get in and out within an hour and a half. We take all our quilts and blankets to a laundromat even though we have a washer and drier at our hose - it's just faster and better for blankets and stuff.
