How long does the dryer take?
That depends on the fabric and the amount. Light T-shirts and bed linen are often dry after 20 to 30 minutes. Towels, jeans and terry cloth need more like 30 to 40 minutes. Duvets and sleeping bags can take longer. You pay for the dryer in 10-minute steps and simply add more time if needed.
Why is it faster than at home?
Home machines have long economy and eco programmes. The professional machines at the laundromat are built for short running times. And while laundry at home spends a day on the clothes horse, at the laundromat it’s ready for the wardrobe after an hour. You can also run several loads side by side.
How to save even more time
- Use several machines at once: wash whites and darks side by side instead of one after the other.
- Sort at home: then loading takes just a minute.
- Don’t wait around: during the 35-minute wash you can go shopping or grab a coffee.
The whole process is explained step by step in our washing instructions.
