Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing-L Digest, Common laundry questions

[Irmgard Kravogel (i.kravogel]

Hi Jerry,

we have a laundry room with three large high class washing machines  
which are havily used and regularly maintained.
Everybody is using the laundry room, that is: 50 adults and 33 kids  
(many babies and toddlers). We have 32 units with 1-4 habitants and we  
have been living together for 8 years now.
So we can confirm that 3 machines have been a good choice for our  
group. And I am pretty sure that 3 machines will be more than enough  
for your group. You might even consider having two large industrial  
machines (the type they use in  hotels etc.) and one "small"   
household machine for small households.

Good luck,
cheers,
