Stay Clean – Doing Laundry at the South Pole

We even have a laundry room here. The fairly normal facilities are heated with the same glycol that heats the rest of the station. Laundry machines are free, and each person is allowed one load of laundry per week. Given the amount of clothes I brought down here, 1 load/week seems to be more than enough to keep everything clean.
