"Controversy Over Unmanned Laundromats When Caught Washing Cat Supplies..."

"Concerns About Mechanical Damage from Fur or Secretions"
"It's Paid Service, So What's the Issue?" Counterargument Also Raised

An unmanned laundromat owner has sparked controversy by posting a warning sign condemning and expelling people who wash pet items covered with animal fur or secretions in shared washing machines.

On the 3rd, photos of a banner hung in an unmanned laundromat were posted on online communities, including a cat-related online cafe. The banner reads, "No washing for those living with cats. No need to do business. Wash at home. It's dirty. Insist on cleanliness. It harms other customers."

The owner of the coin laundry told Chosun.com in an interview, "There were many comments on that cafe saying 'It's hard to wash (cat) blankets,' so I wrote this because they suggested washing at the unmanned laundromat," adding, "Whether it's a dog or a cat, washing is not allowed."

Netizens who saw this commented, "What kind of behavior is this to do in a washing machine used by many? It could harm people," "It's not just blankets with animal fur. Some people put car cleaning rags in unmanned laundromats, which is really shameless," "Just thinking that children's laundry goes in there is horrifying," "This is why I stopped going to unmanned laundromats I used to frequent," and "It's so selfish. They only think about themselves and their cats, with no consideration for others."

However, netizens with opposing views argued, "They paid money and used the service, so what's the problem?" "Many people run their underwear without pre-washing. How is this different?" "This is also a clear form of animal abuse," and "While the population raising pets is increasing, laundry facilities for pets are still insufficient."

Meanwhile, the laundry company prohibits washing items used by pets. This is because some customers using the unmanned laundromat are allergic or sensitive to animal fur, and there is a risk of machine damage. The company also instructs customers to remove pet fur before washing clothes covered with pet hair.
