Laundry Etiquette

The joys of unfinished laundry piled on tables, washing machines and dryers.

It's been a while since we've posted about laundry etiquette. If you are new to the building, here are the basics: We have 3 washers and 3 dryers for 39 units. The washers are $1.25 a load, and the dryers are $1.75 a load, quarters only. The good news is that the laundry is open 24/7. The bad news is that most people seem to like to do their laundry around the same time.

If you are doing laundry, no one expects you to hang out in the laundry room eagerly waiting to take your wet clothes out of the washer, or your dry clothes out of the dryer, however...be considerate of others and don't take an extended trip away from the building, or get engrossed in angry birds and forget that you are doing laundry.

Leaving a load in a machine for several hours is not going to make you any friends.
You also run the risk of having someone remove your laundry from the machine and leave it in a pile.

Also, please clean the lint filter in the dryer before and after you do a load. A clean filter will help your load dry faster than one that is clogged with lint. Remember a little care and consideration can go a long way. Thanks!
