Washing

Six steps to wash

  1. Shake out your laundry

    Remove dust, sand and hair before loading the machine.

  2. Check the pockets

    Coins, keys and paper can damage your clothes and the machine.

  3. Load the machine and close the door

    Don't overfill it: clothes need space to wash properly.

  4. Select the programme

    Choose the washing programme that suits your laundry.

  5. Pay

    With coins, notes, Multibanco or the Customer Card.

  6. Start the wash

    The machine does the rest. Wait until the programme ends.

Important

The machines automatically dose:

  • Detergent
  • Alkaline booster
  • Sanitiser
  • Fabric softener

Adding your own detergent or any other additive is not allowed.

Drying

Four steps to dry

  1. Load the dryer

    Separate heavy items from lighter ones whenever possible.

  2. Select the temperature

    Check the drying guide and the care label.

  3. Pay

    Each drying cycle lasts 21 minutes.

  4. Start drying

    Remove your laundry as soon as it finishes to avoid creases.

Customers who wash at the laundromat have priority on the dryers.
