Laundry detergent? (RR 2BR lock off)

[ninafeliz]

We have our first DVC stay starting Thursday in a RR resort 2 BR lockoff. Will we be able to get as much laundry detergent as we need, and if so is it just in the room or do we have to call and have them bring it up each time? If not, so they sell it and where? If we have to bring our own, are the machines he or not? I don’t use pods at home, but if we have to bring our own that seems easiest and I’m not sure how they work with he vs regular, I’ll have to check.

we’re not planning on tons of laundry, but with 9 people and 9 nights I know we’ll do some, towels at least, and with it in the room we might end up doing more than I expect.

You will have a couple of small bottles in the room. They do sell it in the shop if you want to buy more. We always do laundry, just makes for lighter packing. I bring pods and dryer sheets from home.

There are usually a couple of boxes and I've never had a problem when asking for more.

I forgot about dryer sheets.
So I’m your experience if we want to do more than a load or maybe 2 we have to buy it or bring it? I don’t mind buying, but it might be easier to throw some pods and dryer sheets in. Tide pods are ok for their machines?

You call and they bring more at no charge, or do they charge you line I read they used to (or maybe still do, IDK) for more toiletries and towels? I guess maybe it’s just easier to plan on bringing some anyway.

I assume there is dish detergent and dishwasher detergent, or do I have to pack that also? I keep thinking of more things! Ok I’m almost starting to think it’s easier to just have a regular hotel room lol! It’s like when you rent a cabin somewhere and have to bring literally everything haha! (JK, it’s obviously not that bad ! We don’t have to bring sheets and pots and pans ).

I'm not sure I've ever been charged for it, but even if I had been, it would have been at most a buck or two--well below my threshold of noticing.

 

[Taraleigsmom]

I have never been charged

We routinely bring laundry and dishwasher detergent for all timeshare stays, including DVC. We prefer to use our normal brands.

Walk down the hallway and ask one of the housekeepers for detergent (it is on the cart). I believe the washers at RR use "he" detergent, that's what we used. Packing dryer sheets in a Ziploc bag is easy.

Do they sell any unscented laundry detergent options at the resorts? I've got a little one with super sensitive skin. Thanks!

 

[DebLovesPooh]

We have sensitive skin as well, so we bring our own all free and clear pods and dryer sheets. Easy to pack and they don’t take up much room. Totally worth it to avoid a reaction while on vaca!

The laundry detergent is the Ecos brand and each bottle is good for two loads. They have been leaving two bottles for our most recent stays. You can call to get more. No more powdered detergent left in the villas. Washers in the villas are standard washers. Washers in the laundry rooms for studios are HE.

The washer we had in our 1 BR at SSR last month was HE, not sure whether Riviera has the same, being newer as well. We also bring our own pods when staying in timeshares including DVC.

They may be updating the washers as they renovate.

Sometimes we bring laundry detergent sheets. Easy to travel with.

I used to pack those but I haven’t seen them in years.

We always bring some pods with us. It's seems to be the most convenient solution.

Though they can and do switch brands with no notice - I suspect its whomever they can get a promotional supply for cheap or free from. If you break out from detergent, bring your own.

These aren't the old sheets, but I've been using them to cut down on plastics and packaging and they work great and would pack well:

Thanks for the link!!! I was deciding just today what to do and I didn't want to bring pods for my OL, but these will be perfect!!!
