Using the Launderette
There are two launderettes in College – the main one beneath the Porters’ Lodge (basement level on Teaching Room staircase) and the second one adjacent to 4 Adams Road. Both have washing machines and driers operated through an app system by our laundry contractor WashStation.
- Go to washnet.co.uk or download the Washnet app from your phone's app store
- Create an account and select your nearest location from the list of launderettes. Your nearest 3 are geo-located
- You can reserve a machine for up to 10 minutes from your room. Do not pay until you are in the laundry room
- Choose the washer or dryer you'd like to use by selecting start or resume payment
- Check your care labels and select the correct cycle you want to use and proceed with making the payment
- Load your machine between 1/4 and 3/4 full. For optimal results try halfway.
- For the washers, add your detergent directly into the drum and close the door
- For the dryers, make sure you clean the lint filter before and after use
- The app will tell you to push 'Start' or 'Select Cycle' on the machine. Press this to begin the cycle
- You will receive a notification or an email when there is 7 minutes left of the wash cycle
