Life in JBB - Laundry

There are a number of laundry options here at JBB. Most people use the standard laundry option. Basically that means that you give your laundry to some office run by TCNs (third country nationals) and then you pick it up from them three days later. I am not such a big fan, but it is fairly reliable, though people claim to have had stuff lost. The office is right near where I live, so it is not so bad.

There must be many offices that do this, but I only know about the one near me.

There is also another laundry which (because we are special) we can use. Not everyone can use it and it is on the other side of the post, but you can turn in laundry and they will return it to you in 24 hours.

There is also a self-serve laundromat. Just bring in your stuff and use the machines to wash and dry your clothes. They have a lot of machines, but it is often full. You have to go at odd hours to get your laundry done.

I understand there is also a place where you can have your clothing pressed, but I have no idea why anyone would want to do that.
