We all love a shower in the morning, and we all grew up with that approach I bet. No comment.

All the Persil into the canal, eh? No wonder the waterways are filled with dead floating fish. Not to mention all the frying pan oil + Fairy down the kitchen sink.
We use launderettes, usually with the 'service' charge, as the ladies know what they are doing, and there's little more depressing than sitting in a launderette. Often we take clean clothes to the boat, and dirty clothes 13km high over Sweden back to our washing machine in Finland.
Anyone on the northern Oxford can grab a pair of Stabby's underpants drying on the back deck. (To put them on, remember they are yellow at front, and brown at the back.)

I'm looking for something along these lines for when I move to Wales. There's nowhere to put a washing machine other than in the shower room. Does this machine need to be plumbed in?

Edit to remove more complicated option .
Maybe you could just take the shower head off and screw shower hose to the inlet on the washing machine then turn on shower.
I've got a funny feeling shower hoses have the right thread on the end to fit the back of a washing machine. Mind you don't lose the rubber sealing washer.
1/2bsp?

I'm looking for a more simple solution really i.e. run a bucket of warm water from the sink and dump it into the machine. Put the waste from the machine into the shower tray when in use. Plug the thing into a socket next door via an extension lead. Simple and sorted.

Who sits watching a washing machine these days ... it's all load, push a button, and go and do something more fun for forty minutes. Return and transfer to the dryers and you've 20 or 30 minutes free time. Unload and fold and return to the boat to make-up the bed and put clean clothes away. Always good fun at places like Banbury or Rugeley as the launderette is in the town with options for shops, cafes, or pubs. The trouble with service washes is you have to accept their products ... I prefer to use the detergent and fabric conditioner I choose (and stain remover and colour catchers) and know they have been added appropriately ... but 'a chacon son gout' Rog

I change my underpants more regularly than the rest of my clothes, so have little need for stain remover. Also, the habit of washing using water rather than the 'smearing around' associated with the use of toilet paper helps no end.

Quite a lot of manual work certainly more than screwing in and out a hose fitting. I thought you liked screwing? If it's in the shower anyway why not take advantage of the existing water supply?

I don't think the shower hose will reach. OK, suppose I could fit a longer one. As for screwing, yes, but the government have limited this particular form of hedonism. While you're allowed to 'bubble up' you aren't allowed to change bubbles, which is the natural thing to do.

When I first married we had one of those small spin dryers. I used to wash everything in the bath then spin with a bowl in front to catch the water..It was ok and for one wouldn't be that much hassle. If u washed your clothes when u showered you'd just have to spin them

I have a six kilo Hotpoint auto washer works well I have a dryer that can be put up in the wheelhouse in summer or in front of the Rayburn i winter. In my old boat I had a candy washer worked well and was worth its weight in gold small thing fitter in a cupboard.
