Booking
- You can book a laundry room for free (Max 20 bookings per week). If you have not booked a washing machine or dryer in the intra, you cannot use the machines.
- You can book a laundry slot in the resident´s intranet. Be sure to follow this schedule. Laundry rooms can be used daily from 7am to 9.30pm. Please do not book the laundry room just in case, and remember to cancel your booking if you are not using the machines.
- Be prepared to spend enough time doing the laundry. There are laundry turns every 30 min in intra. This does not mean that the washing or drying takes exactly 30 min or an hour. Washing and drying programs are different for each machine.
Laundry rooms and machines
- The user instructions must be observed when using the laundry rooms’ machines, it is prohibited to wash carpets in the washing machines.
- In Lappeenranta, water is soft. Because soft water cleans clothing more effectively than hard water, you can use less laundry detergent. Check on the detergent package how to dose the detergent.
- Please use mildly scented laundry detergents. Strong fragrances can cause headache and nausea for some people.
- Do not wash or dry hairy (e.g. animal hair) or sandy laundry/shoes in the machines. Washing animal blankets/beds in the machines is prohibited.
- Keep the drying room door closed, when drying the laundry.
- Keep the laundry room and the machines clean and tidy.
- After every use: Clean the dryer lint filter and leave the washing machine and dryer door open.
- Keep the laundry room door locked.
Please consider other users
- Remember to pick up the laundry from the drying room/laundry room. Make room for the next resident who has booked the laundry room.
- One exceptional reason why other resident´s laundry can be taken from the machine is that your laundry turn has started and the other resident´s laundry is still in the machine. In these cases, the laundry should be neatly lifted out of the machine.
