Using the washers:

  3. Use your own high efficiency detergent. They are appropriately labeled so just follow the instructions on the bottle. A medium load will fill half the viewing window. Pour the detergent into the “Main Wash” box. For the middle washer you pour directly with your clothes.
  4. Hit play and note the time approximation to move your laundry on time.
  5. Don’t set on the washers. Don’t try to fix the washers.
  6. When the machine is done remove the moist clothes. If you’re removing another resident’s load, place it inside one of the provided baskets.
  7. Occasionally you will come down during the laundry chairs’ weekly cleaning hour, where we clean out the machines to prevent any residue buildup. For optimal cleanliness. We need to leave the machines open to dry for a bit afterwards. Signs will be posted, just come back later.
