Laundry Etiquette

[JETSDAD]

My wife and I were discussing the use of the in room laundry during evenings and what time would be a reasonable cutoff so as not to make too much noise for the neighbouring room. I haven't noticed noise from others but don't know how bad it might be. Thoughts?

It’s gonna be a very personal opinion unique to each family but I’d like to think 8pm should be cut off time. Families with young children will no doubt be putting them down roundabout that time.

I’ve never heard another rooms washer or dryer. I would do laundry at an hour of the day or night that was convenient for me. As long as you aren’t throwing sneakers in the dryer it shouldn’t be too noisy.

Never seemed to be a problem for me. In all my DVC trips I've never heard laundry machine noise from other rooms.

On the plus side, the actual washing cycles are pretty quick; 15 mins iirc.

I don’t recall ever hearing W/D noise from another room. At BWV the laundry is located pretty much in the middle of the unit, well away from the common walls, which probably helps to muffle the sound, and that may be the case in other DVC resorts.

At VGF the laundry area borders the hall, so no problem.

I’ve never heard another person’s laundry. This isn’t something I would worry about.

It wouldn't even be on my radar to think about.

Judging by the majority of the responses, my wife wins. Thanks for the replies.
