🧺 Laundromat Etiquette 101: How to Be a Pro at The Mat

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a laundry day regular, a little courtesy goes a long way. At The Mat Laundromat, we believe in keeping our space clean, efficient, and welcoming for everyone. That’s why we’re sharing this quick guide to laundromat etiquette—so you can wash with confidence and kindness.
 
🤝 Respect the Shared Space
  • Be timely: Set a timer and return when your cycle ends. It keeps machines available for others and prevents your laundry from being moved.
  • Don’t hog machines: Only use what you need, especially during busy hours.
  • Quiet, please: Keep phone calls and music at a respectful volume. Headphones are your best friend.
 
🧼 Clean Up After Yourself
  • Wipe down machines after use—especially if detergent or softener spills.
  • Empty the lint trap before and after using the dryer. It’s safer and more efficient.
  • Tidy the folding area when you’re done. Leave it clean for the next person.
 
🧺 Laundry Handling Tips
  • Sort before you arrive to save time and space.
  • Use mesh bags for delicates and small items.
  • Don’t overload machines—it can damage clothes and equipment.
  • Avoid washing heavily soiled or pet items in public machines.
 
💬 What If Someone Leaves Their Laundry?
  • Wait a few minutes past the cycle end time.
  • If needed, gently move their items to a clean cart or folding table.
  • Never place clothes on top of machines or the floor.
 
🌱 Go Green While You Clean
  • Wash full loads to save water and energy.
  • Use cold water when possible—it’s gentler on clothes and the planet.
  • Bring reusable containers for detergent and softener.
  • Choose eco-friendly laundry products with certifications like EPA Safer Choice.
 
🧠 Embrace Smart Laundry Tools
At The Mat Laundromat, we’re all about making laundry smarter:
  • Live Machine View: Check availability before you arrive.
  • Phone App: Earn cash back and track your laundry in real time.
  • Coming Soon: 24/7 text and video support from our team—right from our in-store tablet kiosk.
 
🛡️ Safety First
  • Supervise children and keep them away from machines.
  • Don’t leave valuables unattended.
  • Report any hazards or suspicious activity to our staff.
  • Sanitize your hands before and after handling laundry.
 
Laundry is better when we all do our part. Let’s keep The Mat clean, friendly, and efficient—for you and everyone in our community.
