How the laundromat Karlsruhe works

Put your laundry in a free drum, pay at the payment terminal, press start on the machine: that is all it takes at the laundromat Karlsruhe Weststadt-Mitte. The wash is done after about 35 minutes, and 20 to 40 minutes in the dryer gets everything dry.

Learn it once, use it everywhere

Payment terminal, machine numbers and dryers work the same way in all 7 Wash&Go laundromats. Once you know Sophienstraße, you will find your way around Oststadt or Stuttgart too.

01Washing

Washing at the laundromat Karlsruhe in 5 steps.

Sophienstraße has 14 washers for 8 kg and 2 XXL washers for 18 kg. Use the big ones for duvets, pillows or long curtains, the small ones for everything else. Three baskets of laundry? Start three machines side by side.

  1. 01Load

    Fill the drum loosely and leave a hand's width of space above the laundry. Push the door until it clicks shut.

    8 kg or 18 kg

  2. 02Detergent

    Put your own detergent in the dispenser drawer. Forgot it? The payment terminal sells detergent for €0.70 and fabric softener for €0.40, with the discount card from €0.50 and €0.30.

03House rules

House rules at the laundromat Karlsruhe.

These rules make sure every load comes out clean, including the one of the person after you. Thanks for joining in.

  • Shoes and trainersSoles and eyelets bang against the drum during the spin, which damages both the machine and the shoes.
  • DyeingDye stays in the drum and seals and ends up in the next customer's load.
  • Pet blanketsDog and horse blankets stay outside: the hair sticks, and the next person may have an allergy.
  • Workwear with oil, petrol or heavy dirtNo machine rinses out oil and petrol completely. The residue would soil the next customer's laundry.
  • Rigid rugsStiff backings put too much strain on the drum. Flexible rugs that can be folded may go into the XXL machine.
