Woman upset after seeing dog bed in laundromat dryer, says they're for human clothing only
FB screengrab/ COMPLAINT SINGAPORE SINGAPORE: After a woman asked others to 'Please be considerate la' and posed a video of a dog bed being cleaned in a laundromat, many others agreed. In a (Tuesday) May 27 post on the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE Facebook page, 盘相楹 wrote that a laundromat is 'ONLY FOR HUMAN clothing leh.' 'How can you dry your dog beds in the dryer!' she exclaimed, adding, 'Don't get me wrong, I have a dog at home too, but must not take things for granted!' She also wrote that cleaning the dog bed this way is not only disrespectful but also endangers those who have allergies to pet hair. Netizens commenting on her post agreed with her and thanked her for speaking up, appearing to find it inappropriate as well for anyone to use a laundromat for pet bedding. 'Oh no…. Why ppl do it like that… Should know is for washing clothes, curtains, and bedsheets only…. No other things alamak ,' a woman wrote. 'Isn't there a sign that states what can and can't be washed? I know pet beds are definitely not allowed,' another commented, adding, 'Does this laundromat name and shame bad customers? The one I went to had CCTV screenshots of the offenders printed and pasted on the walls with their 'crime' mentioned.' 'I hope the owners of these laundromats put up rules and regulations, dos and don'ts, T&C for users to abide by when patronizing,' chimed in another. 'Unacceptable! No plushies, no shoes, and certainly no pet beddings! It's for universal use for clothes worn by us only. Human beddings are ok. The management must look into it and sanitize their machines. When you see this should call their hotline immediately so they can send someone immediately. They have cameras that they can view who does it,' a group member added. Others complained that they've seen people similarly use the washers and dryers for items such as dirty shoes or muddy military uniforms. Another commenter wrote that pet keepers can also be inconsiderate in other ways. 'Not only dryers, even rental cars are also subject to misuse by pet keepers who use the rental cars to bring their pets for grooming or veterinary appointments. Pet keepers!!!… Imagine you're the next one using it, how would you feel?'

Charleston couple who renovated community laundromat surprised on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show' with big donation
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The owners of a North Charleston laundromat — considered a welcoming space for the local community — recently guest starred on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' and received a big surprise during the appearance. Erin and John Carpenter were invited to be guests after a show producer discovered Erin's social media and saw the work they were doing at Reynold's Laundry on Reynold's Avenue. The producer asked the Carpenter's to send in a short selfie video talking about their business and themselves. Initially, Erin tried to put the video off because she was nervous about appearing on a national talk show, but the show wanted them there and continued to check-in. With some encouragement from John, Erin went ahead and made the video. Things happened quickly from there, with the couple and Reynold's Laundry manager, Steve Palmer, being flown out to New York for the live show within the next two weeks. The night before Apr. 23, when the couple would appear on the show, producers gave them an outline of what Clarkson might ask, helping the couple prepare. The next day, Erin and John walked onto the stage and met Clarkson for the first time. 'It was very surreal because I was so nervous. It was just adrenaline, pure adrenaline,' Erin explained. 'She hugged me right away. She was so disarming, so kind, so nice. It was very comfortable talking to her. It wasn't scary.' The couple didn't face the national stage alone, however, as Erin's family flew out to support her by sitting in the live audience. 'They were like the first people I saw; it actually calmed me down, so it was less daunting than I thought,' Erin said. During the interview, the Carpenter's told their story of transforming a rundown laundromat and giving it a new life. The facility, renamed Reynold's Laundry, started as a place where locals could gather to do their laundry at an affordable price. Reynold's is known for hosting monthly free laundry days. On these days, they partner with local organization Kindness Army and offer food, music, and, most importantly, free laundry service. Arm and Hammer caught wind of the free laundry days at Reynold's and towards the end of the interview Clarkson surprised the couple with a $10,000 donation from the company in addition to a lifetime supply of Arm and Hammer Deep Clean detergent. 'I had no idea at all. They fully surprised us,' Erin said about the donation. With that donation, Reynold's can now guarantee a free laundry day to the local community on a monthly basis, but the couple still wants to partner with community organizations whenever possible and use the funds as a backup. So, how did the owners of a community laundromat end up on The Kelly Clarkson Show? It all started one day in 2022 when John was browsing BizBuySell and found a laundromat he wanted to check out. He mentioned the find to Erin, and the two went to do their laundry and view the space. 'It was definitely in really rough shape, and I was very out of my element, thinking this is overwhelming; I don't think we have the capacity to take this on,' Erin recalled. 'It just seemed like too much work for us.' While the Carpenter's had a history of renovating homes, a laundromat was an entirely different ballpark. Erin said she saw the place and felt overwhelmed, but John saw a challenge for the couple to take on. He convinced Erin and the couple bought the space with renovations starting in 2023. Fixing it up only took a few months and at the end of March, Reynold's Laundry was open for business. The Carpenter's were new to the area, though, and its longtime residents were hesitant to welcome newcomers at first. Knowing this, longtime laundromat manager Steve Palmer helped the Carpenter's build trust after deciding to stay on when the couple took over. 'I think they were scared… people were scared we were turning it into something that wasn't a laundry mat because it had been around for generations. It had been around for so long, and it's such a huge need in the neighborhood,' Erin explained. Steve, who has worked at the laundromat for 14 years, is the face of the business. He greets customers day in and day out and manages daily operations. 'Steve is central to the community; everybody knows him,' she added. Reynold's has come a long way since opening with its first free laundry day two years ago. The laundromat has turned into a community space where people can come for special concerts, birthday parties, dinner events, and more. 'We're genuinely friends with all these people. We get to see them and get updates and give them hugs,' Erin said. '… it's made our lives so much bigger, made our world so much bigger to have all these relationships. It's made our life much deeper and richer because of it.' Those free laundry days have transformed from a day for laundry into a day for fellowship, where people eat, listen to music, crack jokes over the microphone, or simply enjoy each other's company. 'There are so many people who have been involved with this story to make it what it is, and I think that's what I want to keep reminding people,' Erin added. 'It's been incredible and surreal… and we're just so thankful.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

NYC laundromat with ‘affluent clientele' drags pizza joint next door to court over odor
A Chelsea laundromat claims its stinky neighbor is costing it plenty of dough. Laundry Project 23 on West 23rd Street handles 'a large volume of high-end clothing items belonging to affluent clientele' and rakes in $100,000 a month, but says the recent opening of Pizza Studio has upended its business. Since the pizza shop 'began testing and operating their pizza oven, the odors and fumes have been entering our laundromat premises, contaminating the air and clinging to customers' clothing,' owner Dong Hong Choi said in a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit. 'Clothes hanging on the rack and bags of cleaned clothes quickly absorb odors when exposed to the smell,' the company claimed. The business said it suffered 'contamination of customer property, disruption of its business operations, loss of customer trust, reputational harm, and exposure to significant financial liability due to potential customer claims.' The situation has gotten so crusty the laundromat is demanding their next door neighbor shut down. They want a judge to bar Pizza Studio 'from operating its pizza oven and conducting any cookingoperations that emit odors into Plaintiff's premises,' Laundry Project 23 said in court papers. Choi previously demanded a sitdown with Pizza Studio and the landlord as soon as he 'was informed that a duct for their pizza oven would pass through the ceiling area shared with our laundromat,' he said in court papers. The Pizza Studio allegedly agreed to take responsibility for any issues — then allegedly failed to ensure the ductwork it created for its shop was fully sealed, allowing odors to 'infiltrate' the laundromat. And there's been a domino effect — the pizza place also leaves its front door open when cooking, making odors even worse, Laundry Project 23 claimed. The odiferous situation is 'unreasonable under the circumstances, especially considering that simple, reasonable steps – such as properly sealing ductwork, installing odor mitigation systems, and closing the doors during pizza oven operation – could have prevented the harm substantially,' the laundromat insisted in legal papers. Pizza Studio did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
