Washers and dryers take approximately 45 minutes per load. Remove clothes promptly when the cycle ends to prevent wrinkles and to free up the machine for the next person.

  • Make sure pockets are emptied of all items- chapstick, gum, pens, money, papers, etc.
  • Pre-treat any stains – whether with detergent or a stain eliminator.
  • Load clothes loosely into the washer. Only fill clothes to the top row of holes in the wash basket. They need to be able to agitate properly or they will not get clean.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s directions on the detergent bottle/box. 2 tablespoons of soap is enough for one load.
  • 1 wash = 1 dry. Do not dry more than 1 load of clothes in the dryer.
  • Load clothes loosely into the dryer. Don’t overload the dryer as your clothes need to be able to tumble freely in order to dry thoroughly.
  • Remove clothes promptly when cycle ends to prevent wrinkles and to free up the machine for the next person.
  • Please help out the custodial staff by keeping the floor and area free of used dryer sheets, detergent containers, etc.
