Laundry Instructions

 

Your state-of-the-art electronic laundry room is quick and easy.

Maytag Commercial Neptune high-efficiency washers require substantially less water, soap, and energy than conventional washers. With no agitator, they hold substantially more laundry, including big and bulky items like bedspreads, blankets and throw rugs. High-speed extraction up to 1,000 rpm and 300 g's saves energy and reduces drying time to help dryers keep better pace with washers.

ONLY A 1/4 CUP OF DETERGENT IS REQUIRED! HIGH EFFICIENCY DETERGENT IS RECOMMENDED.

Maytag Commercial Neptune super-capacity single-load dryers perform in sync with the larger-capacity washers to reduce waiting times between washing and drying. With a large drum and a powerful 220-cubic-foot-per-minute diagonal airflow, laundry billows open to dry quickly and efficiently for excellent results.

How It Works

To operate the machine please place your items in the machine, select the cycle, swipe your card, once approved press start.

Washing machines and dryers are located in all residence halls and at the student apartments. The washing machines and dryers cost $1.00 per load. Laundry machines require a major credit card (Visa and MasterCard) to authorize payment. An $8.00 hold is automatically charged to the student’s credit card and is refunded shortly thereafter. Students must provide their own irons and ironing boards. There are also several laundries and dry cleaners within walking distance of the College, including one at the CUC Connection in Honnold Library.
