Does anybody know roughly how much it costs to run a washing machine per load? I know it sounds a daft question but im thinking of havin one put in the salon to make things easier for myself. But i would let the the girls who rent a room from me use it also but would charge them. What would be a reasonable price? £1 Per load of washing? Obviously just want to cover electric costs etc. Any opinions would be great Thanks

Had a look on moneysavingexpert and someone who monitored their electricity usage reckoned it was 8p - 16p, depending on the temp etc
However, £1 is not an unreasonable amount to charge, when you consider the convenience to them and what they would have to pay in a launderette. And you will have to replace the machine at some point.

This is something I have considered in the past but have you considered the drying part?
Washing is quite cheap, but drying can be very expensive this is why i opt for the launderette. We pay roughly £5 per load, which is washed dried, folded and delivered.
