Although you might think using a self-service laundry facility is fairly obvious, there are many useful tips available that can make your trip a whole lot smoother. For instance, before you ever step out of your door, you should know how to correctly organize your laundry. This way when you visit any laundromat, including City Laundry in Lincoln, NE, you will have much less of a hassle. 

Whether you are new to using a self-service laundry or are just looking for a way to be more efficient during your trip, here are few organizing tips to improve the way you prepare your laundry for the laundromat:

• Separate Your Loads: Instead of piling all of your laundry into one bag or basket, separate each of your items into the appropriate pile—whites, darks, delicates—before you leave your home. This way when you arrive at the laundromat, all you have to do is locate empty machines and empty your already-sorted laundry into them. This is much better than divvying up your dirty laundry in front of a group of strangers, especially if you have to use machines on opposite ends of the facility.
• Invest In Giant Mesh Bags: These bags are large enough to hold a full load of laundry and will often have backpack-like straps, making them easy to carry. After you separate your loads of laundry, place each pile in a different bag. However, if you have several smaller loads instead of one or two large ones, you can probably stack them all in one bag. Just remember to place a garbage bag or other divider between the different layers.
• Downsize Your Detergent: To save money, you should always bring your own laundry detergent with you. Although, if you use a self-service laundry facility long enough, you will quickly discover that lugging these cumbersome bottles back and forth becomes a real pain. Instead, transfer the detergent and other necessary products you require into smaller travel-size bottles. This way you can simply pile the bottles on top of your laundry and have fewer individual items to carry.
