Where can you take a shower at. Five places where you can wash if the water is turned off at home
In the last issue, I told you how it is possible for economic and other purposes, today I will tell you about some free opportunities in Moscow.
Despite the fact that the time of nanotechnologies reigns outside our windows, for many residents of Moscow the problem of banal personal hygiene remains relevant. We are so accustomed to using hot water every day that we don’t even think that for someone the opportunity to take a shower is a real happiness. And the idea here is not about those cases when hot water was turned off in an apartment for a week or two. All Muscovites face this situation once a year. We are talking about those people who live in such conditions when they do not have the opportunity to wash themselves normally for months and even years.
The first thing that comes to mind in this case is to use the services of a public bath. At first glance, this is a completely logical solution to the problem, and one bath in such an institution costs between 200-300 rubles. But if we take into account that a person will have to visit the bathhouse at least once a week for quite a long time, it becomes clear that this pleasure is not at all cheap. What then to say about a family of 3-4 people, for whom every trip to the bath will be a serious blow to the family budget?
If you do not have the opportunity to use the bathroom with friends or relatives, and paying for regular trips to the bath is an unaffordable luxury for you, there is always the opportunity to take a hot shower for free. And although there are very few such places in Moscow, they still exist.
Parish of the Church of the Great Martyr Irina, Patriarchal Compound in Pokrovsky
Arrival address: st. Friedrich Engels, d.38.
Every week on Mondays, free showers are open on the territory of the parish from 10.00 to 15.00, which anyone can visit. To get to the temple, you need to get to the Baumanovskaya metro station, from where follow Bakuninskaya street.
Another opportunity to take a free shower is provided by the Department of Social Protection of the Population of Moscow. To do this, you need to visit one of the city's destinations on any day of the week from 9.00 to 17.00, except Sunday.
Dezstation №2
Station address: st. Izhorskaya, 21.
To wash away the dirt and fatigue in this place, you need to choose the most suitable route for you:
- Take trolleybus number 78 and follow it to the final stop. Next, you have to walk a little.
- Take bus number 92 to the stop "Vagonoremontnaya".
- Take bus number 149 to the stop "Vagonoremontnaya".
Destation #4
Station address: per. Nizhny Susalny, 4-A.
You can get to this station from the Kurskaya metro station. You will need to go through the crossing, which is located under the railway line, reach Kazakova Street, and then turn left.
Dezstation №6
Station address: Yaroslavskoe highway, 9.
You can get to the indicated address by going to the College stop by buses of the following numbers: 136, 172 and 244.
The only thing you should consider is that all of the above points provide the opportunity to take a shower for free for everyone in need, including people without a fixed place of residence. So think carefully about whether you are mentally prepared for such a procedure.
TV channel "360" learned how to wash yourself without using the "boiling" method.
The most obvious way to wash without hot water is to boil cold water and splash around with the help of basins and pots. But the mere thought that you will have to live in this mode for a week or two brings melancholy. Alternative methods of survival without hot water - in our selection.
Historical toilet in GUM
You can take a shower in the center of the capital. Marble walls, bronze lamps with Murano glass. To wash in the interiors, restored according to pre-revolutionary models, is offered in GUM. For 500 rubles you will get a bathrobe, towel, slippers, body care products and, of course, vivid impressions. A great alternative to a home bath.
Shower room at the railway station
Almost every railway station has a paid shower. For example, on Leningradsky for half an hour they will take 150 rubles from a visitor if they have their own toiletries. If you use the Russian Railways set, the cost will increase to 280 rubles.
shower and tea
There is a cozy place not far from Chistye Prudy. One of the two bathrooms of the anti-cafe "Green Door" has a shower. The institution operates on the principle of time - money. The first hour - three rubles per minute. After a shower, you can drink tea and read a book, which are already included in the price of the visit.
Shower and sports
You can wash in any gym or fitness center. They are in every area, so you don’t have to go far in search of hot water. A club card is optional, it is enough to pay for a one-time visit - from 200 to 2,000 rubles, depending on the category of the hall. By the way, on the eve of summer, it would be nice to pump up the muscles, maybe turning off the hot water will wake up your craving for physical education.
Space "shower"
There is another way to fight for cleanliness for the laziest - space. A shower in zero gravity has not yet been invented, so the crew members wipe themselves with wet wipes - some for soaping, others for rinsing. At home, you can use a wet towel. And for hair, a “dry” shampoo is suitable, which does not require rinsing. The tool costs an average of 200 rubles.
Soul of the Inventor
You can heat water using a washing machine. Yes, here it is - folk ingenuity. Choose a fast mode with boiling (naturally, without powder and linen). Direct the drain to the bathroom. The machine will heat the water and drain it. But in this case, things will not do without buckets and basins.
In the midst of a water cut in Moscow, The Village decided to find out about the most expensive and cheapest ways to wash. We considered places from three categories: baths and saunas, hotels and apartments, swimming pools and fitness clubs. Let's talk about what we found.
Baths and saunas
The most expensive
28 000 rubles per hour
(minimum time is three hours)
This is how much it costs to rent the Versailles hall in the Tazik Club complex. In addition to the Russian steam room, Turkish hammam and swimming pool, there is a banquet hall, a recreation area with a home theater and a game console, billiards, a hookah room and a massage room. The maximum capacity is 30 people. Each is given terry bathrobes and towels, slippers and hats according to the "standards of a five-star hotel." On the site, the places report that they are very careful about the privacy of customers: the club regularly conducts preventive measures to search for bugs in the premises and will not mind if the guests' own specialists do this.
The cheapest
500 rubles per hour
(minimum time - two hours)
This price is offered by Sauna Tri-U club in Bibirevo. You can choose one of three rooms - "Small Hall", "Rendezvous" or "Romance". The price includes a dressing gown, towels, disposable slippers and shower accessories for two people. The same is the cost of renting a relaxation room in the sauna on Baikalskaya, 31, and a room for two in the sauna "Sweat like a king."
Hotels and apartments
The most expensive
1 239 000 rubles
The Village has already written about the most expensive hotel room. This is how much a day costs in the Pozharsky royal suite at the Four Seasons Moscow hotel. The room has three marble baths for hosts and one for guests, as well as an infrared sauna.
The cheapest
199–350 rubles
You can wash yourself inexpensively in a hotel for an hour or in a hostel. The main thing is to make sure that during the proposed visit, hot water in this area is not turned off: in most economy hotels, boilers are not provided, and hotel visitors are forced to endure on an equal basis with all residents of the district. One of the cheapest places is an economy room in a Romani hotel for an hour (350 rubles per hour, rent from two hours), a bed in hostels Gaidai Hostel(200 rubles per bed in a 12-bed room) and Meat Hostel (199 rubles per bed in a 27-bed room). Shower and toilet are on the floor.
Pools and fitness clubs
The most expensive
15 000 rubles
How much will a guest visit to the Royal Wellness Club on Kutuzovsky Prospekt cost? The price includes unlimited stay in the gym, swimming pool and sauna complex during the day. You can get here only if the current member of the club issues an invitation. Guest visits to the World Class Romanov (7,200 rubles) and the Golden Mile fitness club (7,000 rubles) will cost almost twice as much.
