Anyway, this post is not about that issue although I admit that it's worth an in-depth discussion at another time. I'm posting a simple observation of a laundry I frequent when I stay at my brother-in-law's house in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam.
What I've seen is that the majority of customers bring their dirty laundry in those unmistakable blue over-sized Ikea shopping bags. I'm guessing that this observation would hold true at other self-service wash stations in Klang Valley. You can't fault the Swedish furniture maker for producing a truly versatile bag.
Such a scene is not yet evident in laundromats in Johor Bahru. But with Ikea opening a new store in Tebrau sometime next month, it wouldn't be surprising to see more JB folks using those familiar blue bags to haul their laundry.

Probably these light bags can accomodate more dirty clothes and if wet, it won't leak.
These handy bags are also washable.
Ikea should thank the users for indirectly promoting them. hehe
We all just put in our black/blue/green plastic bags.
Then the clean laundry goes into the our laundry baskets.
But we do not discard our used plastic bags.
Unless it gets torn, we bring it home and reuse as rubbish bags before it gets thrown away.
Salam mamasita,
Self-service laundry is relatively new in Malaysia. I had my first experience of coin-operated laundry while as a student in UK in the early '80s. At that time, I used the black plastic rubbish bags as our clothes carrier (as did most of the other students).
I guess those Ikea bags are convenient because they are large, leak-proof and foldable.
