🧺 Laundry Rooms

There are two laundry rooms (A-side & B-side). Both work the same way and have 5 washing machines and 5 dryers.

  • Washing: 2 € (~1.5 hours)
  • Drying: 1 € (~1.5–2 hours)
  • Use coins! Banknotes may cause problems with change.

🧼 How to Wash

  1. Put your laundry in the machine and add detergent (see below).
  2. Choose a washing program.
  3. Press START → Wait for “ERROR”.
  4. Insert 2 € and select your machine number at the payment terminal.
  5. Wait for 0.00 € (or until the machine unlocks).
  6. Press START again to begin washing.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always trigger “ERROR” BEFORE paying, otherwise you might lose your money! Ignore the outdated instructions on the machines.

🧴 How Much Detergent?

  • Washing powder: About 4 small shot glasses (2 cl each = 80 ml) for a normal load.
  • Liquid detergent: Check the bottle for the correct amount (usually different from powder).
  • Where? Put detergent ONLY in compartment II.
  • Too complicated? Use 1 laundry pod (check packaging). Put it directly into the empty drum before adding clothes.
  • ⚠️ NEVER fill the detergent drawer completely! Too much detergent can damage the machines.
  • Changed your mind? Remove any unused detergent!

⚠️ Dosage varies by product, load size and water hardness. Always check the packaging!

❌ WRONG – Too much detergent:

⚠️ Our washing machines use a special payment system! Videos only explain the basics. Always follow the instructions above for starting and paying!

🌬️ How to Dry

  1. Put your laundry in the dryer and clean the lint filter.
  2. Press START → Wait for “ERROR”.
  3. Insert 1 € and select your dryer number at the payment terminal.
  4. Wait for 0.00 €.
  5. Choose a program, close the door and press START again.

⚠️ NEVER open the dryer while it's running! This ends your session, and you'll have to pay again.

🧹 Please Keep Things Clean

  • Don't block machines: Set a timer and remove your laundry as soon as it's finished.
  • Dryers: Clean the lint filter before and after use.
  • Trash: Take your empty bottles, packaging and other large waste with you.
  • Broken machine? Don't force it. Try another one.
