Sort Your Clothes

Take a moment to sort your clothes. Separate darks, lights, and delicates to prevent color bleeding and damage. By doing this, you'll protect your garments and ensure that each load is cleaned appropriately. Remember to check pockets for items that could ruin both your laundry and the machines.

Load the Machine

Begin loading your clothes into the washer without overstuffing it—this ensures proper cleaning and rinsing. Aim for a balanced load so your clothes can tumble freely. For large items like blankets or comforters, consider using a larger-capacity machine to handle the bulk.

Insert Coins

With your clothes loaded, it’s time to insert coins into the coin-operated washer or dryer. Check the machine’s instructions for the required amount and ensure you bring enough quarters to avoid any delays during your laundry time. Plus, having more quarters than you think you’ll need will help you avoid damaged coins that may get stuck in the slot.
