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)

Washer: Regular Top-Load

First time using a top‑load washer? We’ve got you.

Step by Step

Load clothes: Throw your clothes in. Don’t pack it too tight — they need room to move.
Add detergent: Add detergent. A little goes a long way. Most people use way too much.
Select temperature: Choose your temperature. Cold works for most things
Close the lid
Insert coins: Add your coins and start the wash

These ones take about 40 minutes. Perfect time to sit back and let the washer do its thing.

Washer: 20 lb Front-Load

Using one of our 20‑pound front loaders? Here’s the quick version.

Step by Step

Load clothes: Load your clothes. About three‑quarters full is perfect. They’re industrial so the cloths get cleaned very thoroughly
Add Detergent: Liquid Detergent goes in first section; Liquid Bleach (if you’re using it for whites) in the 2nd; Liquid fabric softener in 3rd. *** Pods and scent beads go right in the drum****
CLOSE THE DOOR – this is VERY important to do before #4 and #5 so it doesn’t eat your money!
Choose cycle: Pick your cycle. Cold and normal works for most laundry; Hot for whites;Superwash for heavy heavy soil
DID YOU CLOSE THE DOOR???
Coins and start: Add coins. Machine will auto-start

Easy enough but super important to follow the directions on these ones! This one takes about 30 mins

Washer: 50 lb Front-Load

This is our big 50‑pound washer — Lots of laundry? This one will quickly become your bestie. I know it’s mine! Perfect for comforters, bedding, or big loads.

Step by Step:

Load items: Load it up, but still leave some space. Big machines still need room to tumble.
Detergent goes in the top of the machine. Life the black rubber cover: Pre-wash (if using) goes in the first section; Liquid Detergent (you only need half a capful!) goes in the middle; Liquid fabric softener goes in the back. *** Pods and scent beads go right in the drum****
Choose cycle: Choose your cycle. Cold/Warm for everyday cloths. Warm works great for bedding. Hot for whites
Insert coins : Put in 5 x $1 and push in money tray. Pull it back out and repeat with another 5 x $1. Once the money tray is pulled back out the machine will automatically start!

Now go relax for 30 minutes while this powerhouse gets to work

Dryers

Dryers are the easy part. Each dryer is $0.25 for 4 mins.

Step by Step:

Load clothes: Add your laundry. Don’t stuff it full.
Add fabric softener sheets (if using them. Note – if you used liquid fabric softener in your washer, you don’t need anything in the dryer)
Choose heat setting: High for towels and bedding. Medium for everyday clothes. Low for delicates.
Insert coins and start: Add coins and press start.

Most loads take about 28-32 minutes on medium/warm. Soon, your fluffy soft laundry will be ready to fold!
