At a self-serve laundromat, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to doing your laundry. First and foremost, most people use too much laundry detergent when washing their clothes. Be sure to read the labels before filling that cap! We prefer pods over any other type of detergent as there is no measuring and they are very easy to use. When using front loaders, be sure to place the pods directly into the washing machine. Doing so will ensure that all of the detergent is properly distributed in the wash and that your clothes come out clean and fresh.
