In the former, when residents started to all own individual washing machines in their apartments, obsoleted laundry rooms were sometimes converted into small apartments, shops or workshops (e.g. a <a href="/wiki/Shoemaker" class="mw-redirect" title="Shoemaker">shoemaker</a>'s) or used simply for storage. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Sweden" title="Sweden">Sweden</a>, laundry rooms, called a "<a href="https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tv%C3%A4ttstugor_i_Sverige" class="extiw" title="sv:Tvättstugor i Sverige">tvättstuga</a>", are found in almost all older apartment buildings. Swedish laundry rooms are often located in the basements of the buildings, but can also be found in detached buildings. In the 1980s, analogue booking boards with locking cylinders were introduced to regulate washing times and create a booking system. Some of these have been replaced in the 2000s by electronic counterparts with electronic keys or tokens. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span
