Student Laundromats

Washlava logoWashlava-operated laundries are located in every residential community. In communities with multiple buildings such as Lower Quad and Upper Quad, the laundry room may be in a neighboring building.

High-Efficiency Machines

The Energy Star® rated, high-efficiency machines installed on campus clean effectively, help save time and are gentle on clothes and the environment. High-efficiency, front loading machines hold more clothes and use less water than conventional laundry equipment, saving time and energy. For best results, use only two tablespoons of concentrated HE detergent which is specially formulated for high-efficiency machines. HE detergent pods may be used as well – no more than two pods per wash.
