How long does laundry take at the laundromat Karlsruhe?
At the laundromat Karlsruhe Weststadt-Mitte a wash runs for about 35 minutes. Most loads need 20 to 40 minutes in the dryer. Allow around an hour for everything.
What decides the drying time
Washing always takes about the same time; drying depends on the fabric. Shirts, blouses and thin tops dry fast. Towels, jeans and chunky jumpers take longer. The 20 kg drums give your laundry lots of room, which helps. You pay per 10 minutes, so if something is still damp you simply add more.
More laundry, same time
One basket or four: spread your laundry across several of the 14 machines with 8 kg and everything is finished together after roughly 35 minutes. With 8 dryers you can carry on without a long break.
What to do in the meantime
You don't have to stay. Innenstadt-West and Europaplatz are a few minutes' walk away, or you sit down and use the free Wi-Fi. Just be back on time so the next person can use the machine.
On video: an hour of laundry in time-lapse
The short Wash&Go video shows why a load is done in under an hour: laundry in, pay, start, move it to the dryer, fold. That is exactly how it works on Sophienstraße too.
