Washing machines
Hi,
Does anyone know if club sites charge to use the spin cycle on washing machine?
To keep cost down I was thinking of doing some hand washing rather than use washing machine then just spin and either put on airer or dryer.
I normally do 2 to 3 washed a week in van at the cost of £6+ each.
Thanks

Not sure if they have changed, but some Sites had a separate spinner. There was always a charge though. Some Sites had cold fill only machines.
If you do that much washing every week, you could look at one of the portable washer/spinner machines? Might work out cheaper for you long term. You would need to carry water back and forth unless on a serviced pitch.

The newer front loader washing machines will do a spin only and usually costs £1.00 to operate or 1 token which is available from the site office, the old single spinners were removed many years ago from sites H&S I think was the reason for their removal.
Hope this helps.

Shows how long it is since we stayed on a Club Site and used Laundry RK😁

It's £4 for a wash cycle which takes around 40 minutes and £1 for a spin. Dryers are £1 for a 15 minute cycle.
Spinners were removed along with irons back in 2011.

If the machines are still the same, the £1 setting is for Rinse and Spin, so super easy to hand wash in the sinks and put straight in the machine. Can’t understand why anyone would pay £4 for the full programme when the sinks are right next to the machines!
Happy days!

The OP states they do 2 or 3 washes a week, that would be a lot of holiday time bending over those sinks for the sake of a few quid
.I had one of those twin tub things when we were in Spain, worked really well and only used 2kw per week.

£3 to save a lot of effort and (probably) get a better wash sounds well worth it to me.
Unless only doing one's smalls!

The OP was asking how to keep the cost down. Washing in the sinks then putting it in the machines for rinse and spin for £1 is really easy. It is much less time consuming than having to hang around for a full cycle too.

I got that, but you wrote:

So, JK and I were helping you to understand.
