Get the most out of your trip to the laundromat

Choosing the right machine at the laundromat can make a big difference in the cleanliness and care of your clothes. Here are some tips to help you select the best machine for your laundry needs:

• Size: Consider the size of your laundry load. If you have a large load, choose a machine with a higher capacity to ensure that your clothes have enough room to move around and get clean.
• Machine Type: The Green hanger offers front-loading machines. Front-loading machines are generally more efficient and use less water, they also allow a better gauge at home much laundry you can fit into one machine allowing for a more thorough wash.
• Water Temperature: Check the available water temperature options on the machine. Hot water is more effective at removing stains and killing bacteria, but it can cause clothes to shrink or fade.
• Detergent Compatibility: Some machines may require you to use a specific type of detergent. Make sure the machine you choose is compatible with the detergent you plan to use.

• Machine Condition: Inspect the machine for any signs of damage or disrepair before using it. Avoid machines that are leaking, shaking excessively, or making unusual noises. If you see that a machine may be malfunctioning people seek out an attendant and they would be more than happy to transfer your laundry to a fully operating machine.
• Availability: If the laundromat is busy, try to choose a machine that is available and not in use. This will help you avoid waiting and ensure that you can complete your laundry in a timely manner. If you have the FasCard app on your phone you can add the Green hanger as a location ands see which machines are in use or available before you arrive.
• Cost: Check the cost of the machine before using it. Some machines may be more expensive to use than others, so choose one that fits within your budget. Don't overpay for a large 60lb machine when you only need a 30lb machine.
• Ask for Help: If you're unsure about which machine to choose, don't hesitate to ask the laundromat staff for assistance. They can help you select the right machine for your needs and provide guidance on how to use it effectively.

By considering these factors, you can choose the right machine at the laundromat and ensure that your clothes come out clean and fresh every time.
