1. Gather enough quarters to do as many loads as you plan in the washer and dryer. Generally, four quarters is the price for one load of clothes in each the washer and the dryer, but prices vary, so bring extra change.

2. Find the nearest laundromat.

3. Bring a book, magazine or some other form of entertainment.

4. Separate clothes as you normally would at home and load them in to your selected washing machine.

5. Add laundry detergent as required by the size of the load and the condition of the clothes.

6. Load quarters in to the appropriate slots and make simple selections (such as temperature of water and wash cycle) on the machine.

7. Start the washing machine.

8. Relax and utilize your entertainment source while your clothes are being washed.

Tips & Warnings

• In most laundromats, all washers and dryers are the same make and model. No need to go hunting for the best one.
• Pick a machine which you can keep an eye on from wherever you choose to sit down.
• Make sure you bring everything you need. A friendly stranger may allow you to borrow something, but don't count on it.
• If you plan to leave the laundromat at any time while doing your laundry, label your belongings.
