For me I generally pirate most books I read, although if there is a book I really enjoyed I will buy the physical copy.
I also generally tend to avoid having takeaways because they are just so expensive in this day and age with inflation and tend to opt for cheap meals like pasta or rice etc.
Also I don’t pay for any streaming services, but borrow a VPN service from a friend to pirate the movies I watch.
Curious to hear of some ways that you people here save money.
When you refund a mattress they just surface clean it. Most of the cleaners you are talking about use something like a carpet cleaner on the mattress. Equally, a carpet cleaner doesn’t clean the carpet completely. Neither do the mattress cleaners. I’ve not seen a giant washing machine-style mattress cleaner, maybe those could get the mattress clean but getting them dry would be a challenge. Looking it up, there seems to be a foam mattress version of those cleaners where they collapse them down by pressure to dry them. Something you can’t do with spring mattresses. Either way, surface cleaning a mattress isn’t going to get rid of the core scum and dirt of a mattress. If you have a picture or a link to those large mattress washing machines for spring or thick mattresses feel free to share.
yuck. I doubt that. It’s manual work and far more expensive than a machine.
seriously? I mean, there is a chance no such service exists in your town. Bad luck then. But there is close to zero chance it doesn’t exist in your country.
What do you think hospitals do? (Or good hotels, as mentioned). Source: Worked in an elderly home that used such a service regularly.
Here’s an image of such a mattress washing machine.
They work.
