So awhile back I FINALLY got my landlord to put a washing machine in my apartment unit. I was ecstatic, especially after having to send my laundry out to the Pronto Matic for 5.000 CLP a load...I had to be selective about what I wanted to wash (and wear!). The washing machine is a nice used front loading kind, which I have heard are really good. My landlord showed us how to use it, instructing me to use certain cycles as they use less water. It seemed pretty simple...I mean how hard could it be to wash clothes?
Well apparently, it can be pretty hard. First off, the washing machine doesn't have a very good spin cycle, so my clothes came out sopping wet. Since then, my clothes have still come out really wet and covered in detergent (the powder kind) and I have had to run them through the wash again, which is of course not very eco-friendly.
So am I missing the boat on how to wash my clothes chilean style?
