You know what, I'd probably just ignore the sign and skip going to management. Or, just take the sign down and pitch it in the trash. What are they going to do? This is ridiculous.

gassadi, please keep us updated! I live in an apartment building too.

I have personally dealt with a very similar situation where we used to live, only it got very personal

Anyway,just know your rights as a renter.And I agree with what others have posted already. Personally, I don't see how washing diapers is any different than a mom of toddler washing poo off of underwear, a grown up man streaking his undwear, or people with STD's washing their undies in the public machines!

update

I'm going to keep washing as is ...

The signs were gone when I went in this morning, so maybe someone already approached mgmt. with all the things you've all mentioned. Or someone gutsier than me took 'em down. (There are two laundry facilities here and I haven't checked the other to see if those signs are gone.) The signs were handlettered, so I think I'll keep washing and assume that if the complex manager wants to take an official stance, then it'll be done in a more professional manner.

Just an ick factor that I'm taking to management ... our neighbor has lately been putting dirty (as in the solids) disposables on her back porch. They are not wrapped and they have stayed for days, with new ones getting added to the pile. My husband already spoke to her about it and she just shrugged him off. Hmm seems more likely to be a public health hazard than washing a few pre-washed diapers in the machines.

Oh, how I dream of home ownership ...

what are they thinking? oh, yeah, they're not.

Ummmmm wow. Do keep us updated. This is very silly indeed.

So I guess nobody in that apartment gets stomach flus, menstruates or has toddlers and other younger children? Or pets? Or gets cut? Or cooks with raw meat? Or wipes their genitals dry with towels? Or gets pubic or head hair in clothes? Or or or or or

Sounds like somebody has an ignorant prejudice against CD!!!!

If anything new comes of this, I'll let you all know.

The logic just isn't happening here. (It is student housing and I'm pretty sure there are far worse things in a lot of the clothes than some breasfed baby poo/pee).

On the other front: The health dept. makes routine inspections of the complex and they finally gave an official notice to our neighbor and the management this morning. Gross diapers are gone. (Probably straight in the dumpster as is, but they aren't out for the racoons and toddlers to play in.)
