about the situation, will say, "soap is cheap." Conveniently forgetting, however, a double-load laundry-mat washer (which is actually a single load) costs about $3.30 - and that's the basic, one wash, one rinse; the upgraded two washes and two rinses (which gets the laundry much cleaner) runs about $3.55. Most people prefer using the six loader - which is more like three laundry loads. These are eco-friendly (a.k.a., skimpy on the water) front-load washers. Anyway, this popular size runs about $5.60 for the basic cycle, and around $6.10 for the cycle that gets your stuff clean. The basic dryer runs about $.40 for 8 minutes; the next size up is about $.55, for 8 minutes. Takes about three to four cycles to get the laundry dry.
Say bye-bye to the $20 - when $30 would better do the job. Comes the old, stuff it into two machines, when using three would get the laundry coming out fresh - then subsequently fully dry. Any wonder the less-than-thirsty bath towels, come out, and get chucked away, somewhere, in crampy spaces, along with other things, laundered likewise, smelling a bit sour.
Towels, like the almost-rags (dollarstore purchased, some time in the past) bath towels - which are actually midway between a bath, and a hand towel, the dish towels are also too few in number for the family's, needs. Translation: laundry not visiting the hamper as often as needed.
That's probably why the person, sitting on the bench, had body odor.
Poverty will make you smell more. Laundry is expensive. I spend 100 a month on it EASY. Also can't put as much in a load. People who have washers and dryers right inside their house--don't take that for granted!
