Visiting the laundromat is a common errand for anyone without an onsite washer and dryer. While it isn’t the most exciting chore, everyone should do their best to make the experience pleasant for their fellows. That means following a few points of etiquette before, during, and after doing your laundry, as described below.

Do:

Set a timer.

Many guests take the opportunity to go run other errands while their clothes are in the machines. If you do the same, make sure to set a timer on your phone or watch. Other customers could be waiting to use those machines, so returning long after your cycle has ended can lead to a lot of frustration.

Be patient.

While nobody should be hogging machines, have a reasonable amount of patience. If a wash cycle finishes and the owner of the clothes is nowhere to be found, give them a few minutes to come back. After five or ten minutes, if they still haven’t arrived, carefully move their clothes to a clean surface.

Don’t:

Claim machines.

Be patient and wait for your cycle to be completed before moving on to the dryers; otherwise, you may be holding up the people who started before you. Everyone must take turns using the machines.

Leave a mess.

Don’t leave the laundromat in a messier state than it was before you arrived. If you spill food, beverages, or laundry products, clean them up before it becomes a slipping hazard. Be especially careful with bleach since it can stain others’ non-white clothing. If the dryers have lint screens, clean yours out after every use.
