Doing Laundry in College

2009-04-08T09:08:00.000-07:00

Doing laundry is not a life-skill that is necessary for survival and paying a college service provider like Dorm Mom to do your laundry is well worth it.

Most college dorms have laundry rooms on each floor, ground floor or in suites. They are usually very convinient, accessible and reliable. Some are coin operated and others are free to residents. Some colleges require the use of a charge card for payments. You swipe your card and release the washer and/or dryer for use. The cost of doing laundry in college is definately not much but it takes a lot more than just that to get the job done.

Most incoming freshmen have never done laundry in their life and a lot of students are too busy to do laundry on a weekly basis. While the university provides the convinience, most students do not always do their laundry. An entire house in a dorm can stink up just because a guy down the hall has laundry piled up to the door even though the laundry room is only down the hall. A guy in my hall was opposite the laundry room but never did his laundry. He was nick-named "stinky" - not very nice but that was what everyone called him.

Not doing your laundry correctly will not only stink up your room/hall but will also ruin expensive clothing. There are students that wash but do not dry the cloths enough; or wash and leave stuff in the washer for days. You put stuff in the washer, get busy doing something else and forget your laundry for hours or days.

This has happened to me many times. If the clothes are left too long, then Mildew starts to grow. No matter how many times you wash the clothes, the smell stays. Mildew is a mold or mirco-organism. This just happened to my favorite pair of jeans. I threw them in a large pot on the stove and boiled the jeans for 5 minutes to kill the mold. Results - NO MORE SMELL!! And fortunately, they didn't shrink!

When someone else comes around to do laundry, they will throw your stuff out; there was a case where some guy found his laundry in the trash can in the laundry room just because it was in the way of someone else. A new trend in some college campuses is the ability to monitor your laundry online for when it's done, etc. It's not very popular but a handful of colleges have adopted that technology.

Doing laundry is not a life-skill that is necessary for survival and paying a college service provider like Dorm Mom to do your laundry is well worth it. It's extremely convinient and your laundry is done professionally with utmost attention paid to care tag. Each clothing material is treated differently, wash temperature, drying time and temperature; how much detergent, bleach or not, ironing, etc. Using too much detergent could ruin your clothing; drying to much or too little could shrink your clothing and cost you a lot more in the long run. At the University of Maryland, students have their laundry picked-up, done and delivered for only $168 per semester. This is a weekly service. It is a deal that cannot be beat.

Dorm Living: A Freshman's Tale

2009-01-10T05:40:00.000-08:00

As a freshman, I never did know how to do laundry because my mom did all my laundry while I lived at home. Going to college and having to do everything myself was quite a dauting task. At first, I let weeks and weeks of laundry pile up and it becomes nasty and had to drag myself to the laundry room down the hall. It took forever to get them washed and dried.

The worst part of doing my laundry is folding after it's done. I made a big mistake the first couple of times doing my laundry by waiting for hours and sometimes days before folding freshly cleaned laundry. The result was walking around campus in wrinkled shirts and looking like a retard. I was told to fold them right after it comes out of the dryer. This worked really well but was really tiring. I decided to hang them instead and it has nearly the same wrinkle resistant look if straightened and hung after taking them out of the dryer.

With my busy schedule and total lack of interest in sitting in the laundry room waiting for the laundry to get done and then folding or hanging them, I opted to use a laundry service to help save me time. Based on what I do and the business interests I have, an hour of my time is worth about $30. I spend about 3 hours doing laundry - that's $90 i could have made while writing a software as a free lance developer for an off-shore company. Dorm Mom laundry services cost about $19 per week. They come on campus to pick-up the laundry and return it within 48 hours, neatly folded, ironed and looking sharp. I am saving so much money and I look so much better in my clothing everytime I go to class. All I do is put my dirty laundry in the bag I was sent and they pick-up and have it done. I think this service is awesome and everyone that values their time should be using it. Thank you Dorm Mom!!!

Doing Laundry in the Dormitory

2008-09-18T11:05:00.000-07:00

When I started college, I never gave much thought to how I would do my laundry as my mom did them all the time. Doing laundry does not look too complicated but doing it right is not easy. There was a laundry room couple doors down the hall in McNair hall. It had 1 washer and a dryer but there were over 60 students on the floor. The ground floor or basement had about 15 washers and dryers. That's not bad at all but there are over 256 students in the building. To do my laundry, I have to wait for when a washer is available.

It takes about 45 minutes for the wash to complete. I had to make sure I was back on time or somone looking to wash could dump my stuff out getting it all dirty again. Seperating the colors was a hassel and the wait was exhausting. I usually take a book to read while waiting - an excellent way to pass time. If I am lucky, there maybe a dryer available as soon as I am done. If none is available, I have to wait and listen for the next completion beep. The most annoying thing about the laundry rooms in the dorms is students who leave their stuff in the washer and/or dryer and slow everyone else down. A good tip is to leave your basket by the washer or dryer if you don't want your cloths in the dumpster. Drying takes longer...about 30 more than washing. If you let your cloths sit in the dryer for more than 30 mins after it stops, you make be walking around in a tide of wrinkles. Best practice is fold or hang your cloths as soon as the dryer beep goes off. That would save you a lot of ironing time. I hate folding my cloths. It takes a lot of time and needs to be done right.

If dorm mom was at my college, I would have definately used them. Apart from the time savings, you won't be ruining your cloths or getting scared of it been stolen from the dorm laundry room.

Why would I want a laundry service, apartment cleaning or grocery delivery while in college? Does it signify laziness, inability to take on responsibility, elitism, or just another outsourced labor. Doing your laundry yourself does not make you a better person, it does not make you more resposible than those who outsource that labor.

There is uneducated reasoning that most people believe: having Dorm Mom do your laundry makes you irresposible. That is very ignorant because the fact that I eat out does not make me a bad cook. There is nothing different between paying someone to bring you food and paying someone to do your laundry. Doing laundry is not a skill needed to be successful in life. Having Dorm Mom do your laundry will actually help you do better than others that spend hours in the laundry room weekly. Time spent outside the laundry room can be chanelled into more productive ventures.

MAN IN COMMUNITY, “I NEED DORM MOM”

2008-02-21T09:49:00.000-08:00

Who have said one time or another that they are grown or too grown-up to get help with things such as chores? We all may be guilty of such previous statement or thinking. It is probably certain that you are smiling upon reading this statement and saying I said that ten minutes ago.

The reality of the matter is that we all relish the good old days when we did not have to buy groceries, clean our rooms, do laundry, pay bills, buy gas, etc. Why? Mom did them for all, because we were her little angel(s). Some of us were so blessed that we did not even have to clean our tables after eating much less taking our own bath at latter stages of our live.

You missed those days right? “Yes”, at least that is how most people profoundly respond. Clear-cut, Mom is always mom but those good ole days diminish quickly, as her little angle becomes a big angel. That is one reason we claim were grown or mom tells us we are.

Now you have the opportunity to reclaim those good old days. There is Mom out there that will do everything “Your” mother use to do. Ok, almost everything, some exceptions being bathing or breast feeding you. This mom is called Dorm Mom. Dorm Mom will clean your living space-rooms, apartment, home and do your laundry. It gets better. Besides laundry service and apartment cleaning, Dorm Mom offers dry cleaning service, water delivery, and end of the semester shipping and storage.

Your mother stop doing your chores because you became a big angle and she felt you were able to do them yourself. Besides, she had better things to do instead of your chores. Now you have better things to worry about instead of doing chores. Dorm Mom will free up time, so you can concentrate on the most important aspect of your days.

Many people have realized the importance of having extra time on their hand hands to do other things. Besides, who does not want more time? Time is priceless, that is why some wish there were 48 hours to a day. This became apparent when one man in the community called and adamantly said, “ I need Dorm Mom “. Now that is a mommy’s boy, but we all are. His voice echoed the growing concern of many people-more things to with less time.

Do you need or want Dorm Mom? If your answer to this question is “yes”, Dorm Mom will accommodate you. If your answer is “no”, Dorm Mom will still accommodate you. You can reach Dorm Mom great customer personnel 7 days a week 24 hours a day.
