YOU CAN DO IT! Good laundry manners
This is how to keep everyone happy in the laundry room:
You can book your laundry time using a laundry key, like this.
You can also book your time digitally using a tag, via a notice board, or online.
However you book, remember never to take another person’s booked time.
Here are a few tips: For your own good, follow the washing instructions in your clothes.
Wash white and dark clothes separately and at the correct temperature.
Wash bras with underwires in a laundry bag so they don’t damage the machine.
Do not wash large rugs, large blankets, or shoes.
And don’t over-dose with detergent. Firstly it’s bad for the environment.
Left-over detergent can also cause mould, which can lead to allergies for other users.
For the same reason, we mustn’t bring our pets into the laundry room with us.
Laundry room rules: Read the information in the laundry room.
Information varies, such as about drying times, which may end a few hours later.
Three rules apply in all laundry rooms.
1. Never take another person’s time, even if that person hasn’t started washing yet.
2. Never leave any clothes in the laundry room after your time is up.
3. Always leave the laundry room as you would want to find it when you arrive.
So always clean up after yourself. Here’s what to do:
Wipe the machine dry,
and empty the dryer’s filter.
Cleaning equipment is available in all laundry rooms. Use it!
Always sweep up.
Mop the floor.
And close windows and doors.
If you book using a laundry key, book your next time, or park your key.
If a washing machine or dryer isn’t working, you must tell the
landlord or the person looking after the property immediately.
Be laundry smart! Only do your laundry at the time you have booked.
Use detergent sensibly, clean up after yourself, and show consideration for others.
It’s as simple as that! Together we keep the laundry room clean!
