How the Laundromat Karlsruhe-Oststadt works

Learn it once, use it at every location
The payment terminal, machine numbers and dryers work on the same principle in all 7 Wash&Go laundromats. Once you've gone through the guide here on Ludwig-Wilhelm-Straße, you'll find your way around Stuttgart or Ludwigsburg straight away.
Washing at the Laundromat Karlsruhe-Oststadt in 5 steps.
The Laundromat Karlsruhe-Oststadt has 7 washers with 8 kg and one XXL washer with 18 kg. The big machine is meant for duvets, pillows and flexible rugs, the 8 kg machines for everything else. Got several baskets? Just start several machines at the same time.
01Load
Fill the laundry in loosely and leave about a hand's width free at the top so the water can circulate. Then push the door shut until it clicks audibly.

House rules at the Laundromat Karlsruhe-Oststadt.
The house rules keep every load clean, including the next person's after you. Every rule has a reason, and you'll find it right next to it.
- Shoes and trainersIn the spin cycle soles and eyelets hit the drum, which damages both the machine and the shoes.
- DyeingDye stays behind in the drum and the seal and later stains the next customer's laundry.
- Pet blanketsDog and horse blankets are not welcome because allergy sufferers wash here afterwards and cleanliness couldn't otherwise be guaranteed.
- Workwear soiled with oil or petrol, or heavily soiled workwearOil and petrol residues can't be washed out completely and would soil the next customers' laundry.
- Rigid rugsStiff rugs put too much strain on the drum. Flexible rugs that can be folded are allowed in the XXL machine.
