I wonder more how he keeps his clothes and underwear clean :)

Every sizable city has a couple of laundromats with washers and dryers. He probably has a favorite one he just travels to once a week.

In a pinch he could hand-wash them, but I imagine drying might be an issue with that.

Probably the same way most people living in city apartments do it. Laundromats.
I'd be surprised if that was the way "most people living in city apartments" do it.

Why wouldn't city apartments have washing machines? (In Germany and most of the rest of Europe we also don't particular need, or care for, driers either, that's what clotheslines are for).

Laundromats I'd say are more for like, students, tourists, travellers, fresh immigrants, people with some temporary arrangements and no stable residence, etc.

Damn, what kind of apartment doesn't come with laundry? Only time I didn't have an in-unit washer was student accomodation. If I viewed a place without one now I'd laugh the estate agent out country.
He could also rent a couple of stash places with clothes and stuff like a movie undercover agent :)
That would be his family’s places?
Washes them by hand in the wash basins of the DB lounges, to which he gets free access with his ticket.
Does that ticket also give him free access to a dryer? Or is he just going to hang his clothes up in the train for everyone to enjoy?
