How to Use Our Washers

We have three types of washers at The Laundry Room.
All of them work in a similar way — just follow the steps below.

Our machines:

• Regular Top Load Washers
• 20 lb Front Load Washers (approximately 1.5 - 2x regular machines or for regular loads that need more muscle)
• 50 lb Front Load Washers (perfect for bedding & large loads)

  1. Load clothes: Throw your clothes in. Don’t pack it too tight — they need room to move.

  2. Add detergent: Add detergent. A little goes a long way. Most people use way too much.

  3. Select temperature: Choose your temperature. Cold works for most things

  4. Close the lid

  5. Insert coins: Add your coins and start the wash

 

Wash time: Approximately 40 minutes.

The most under-rated machines in the place!

Step by Step

  1. Load clothes – Fill the drum about ¾ full for the best clean.

  2. Add detergent:

    • 1st compartment: Liquid detergent

    • 2nd: Liquid bleach (whites only)

    • 3rd: Liquid fabric softener

    • Pods & scent beads: Place directly in the drum

  3. Close the door completely. (Do this before adding coins—it won't start properly otherwise.

  4. Select your cycle

    • Cold / Normal: Most loads

    • Hot: Whites

    • Superwash: Heavily soiled items

  5. Add coins. The washer starts automatically.

​​

Wash time: Approximately 30 minutes.

Big load? This is the one. Perfect for comforters, bedding, sleeping bags, or several loads of laundry at once.

Step by Step

  1. Load your items – Fill the drum, but leave enough room for everything to tumble freely.

  2. Add detergent (lift the black rubber cover):

    • Front compartment: Pre-wash (optional)

    • Middle compartment: Liquid detergent (about ½ cap is plenty!)

    • Rear compartment: Liquid fabric softener

    • Pods & scent beads: Place directly in the drum

  3. Choose your temperature:

    • Cold/Warm: Everyday laundry

    • Warm: Bedding

    • Hot: Whites

  4. Insert coins – Add the required coins, push the coin slide in, pull it back out, and repeat until all coins are inserted. The washer starts automatically after the final coin.

⏱ Wash time: Approximately 30 minutes.

Now sit back and relax while this powerhouse does the heavy lifting. 💙

    • Medium: Everyday clothing

    • Low: Delicates

  4. Insert coins & press Start.

⏱ Most loads dry in about 28–32 minutes on Medium.
