Helpful Guidelines & FAQs

Quick answers to common questions before you start your laundry.

Do I need coins to use the machines?

No. The Washboard uses a reloadable laundry card system instead of coins.

How much detergent should I use?

Use only the recommended amount. Overusing detergent can affect machine performance and wash quality.

Can I leave my laundry unattended?

Please monitor your laundry. Unattended items may be removed after cycles are complete to allow others to use machines.

What if I overload a washer?

Avoid overloading machines. Proper loading ensures better cleaning results and helps protect the equipment.

Children must be supervised at all times for safety.
