We were in town from New York, staying at a nearby hotel, and trusted ihateironing to wash and fold almost all of our expensive, machine washable laundry before continuing on with our travels. Big mistake!
The whites and lights returned ruined, stained BLUE, and totally discolored. Clearly the lights and darks weren't separated despite my explicit instructions to do so.
Beyond that, the laundry absolutely REEKS of chemicals (to a degree that is truly unusual) , is wrinkled, and a dark pair of pants now has several mysterious grease stains. A machine washable sweater was also dry cleaned (why?) and smells even stronger than the rest of the items.

Needless to say, I'm very upset and even emotional after having spent weeks packing and preparing for this trip, buying the family new clothes, etc. Spent the afternoon at our new location scouting out a laundromat, buying unscented laundry detergent, bleach, and laundry bags. read more
