Washing machine broken? How to keep washing in Karlsruhe
If your own washing machine breaks down, keep washing at the laundromat Karlsruhe Weststadt-Mitte without booking until the repair is done. A load costs €5.00, with the discount card from €3.80.
What matters first
Don't leave wet laundry in the broken machine for long, or it will start to smell musty. Pack it in a waterproof bag and bring it to the laundromat. There you wash it once more and dry it straight away.
Bridging the wait for the engineer
Waiting for a spare part can take days or weeks. Come to Sophienstraße once a week during that time and your laundry day is done in about an hour, instead of spreading your washing between neighbours and family.
New machine or laundromat?
If a repair is no longer worth it, it is a good moment to do the maths. Especially for small households the laundromat can be cheaper than a new machine plus dryer. Cost comparison
A receipt for your landlord
Does the machine belong to your rented flat? Every payment at the laundromat comes with a receipt, so you can document the costs.
