🧺 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. ⚠️ Check the machine first! Make sure the rubber door seal is properly in place and not loose or damaged. Otherwise, the laundry room could flood!
  2. Put your laundry in the machine and add detergent (see below).
  3. Choose a washing program.
  4. Press START → Wait for “ERROR”.
  5. Insert 2 € and select your machine number at the payment terminal.
  6. Wait for 0.00 € (or until the machine unlocks).
  7. 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 Ignore the outdated instructions on the machines.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.
