Topic: Communal Laundry Rooms in Blocks of Flats

Drying wet washing and the space to do so often seems to be a problem in this country.  It can cause condensation which causes mould unless done carefully and can use a lot of energy when it is done using electricity.

In Hong Kong I remember horizontal ship's mast type poles stretching out from buildings across streets with laundry hanging and flapping.  In this country I remember hanging laundry out in some flats is forbidden although many people seem to manage to put low clothes horses out on balconies to dry their laundry.

I was interested to read that in Sweden there are communal laundries:

Has anybody any experience of using these?
