Do I need to bring detergent to the laundromat in Stuttgart-Ost?
No. At the Wash&Go Laundromat Stuttgart-Ost you can get detergent for €0.70 and fabric softener for €0.40 straight from the payment terminal. You are still very welcome to bring your own detergent.
Using your own detergent
Liquid detergent and powder go into the machine's dispenser drawer; pods go straight into the drum. For a full 8 kg machine, use the amount the packet recommends for "normally soiled" laundry. In the large 18 kg XXL washing machine, use roughly twice that.
Detergent from the terminal
Dropping by on the spur of the moment? Just add detergent or softener when you pay at the terminal. With the discount card, detergent costs from €0.50 and softener from €0.30.
Tips for sensitive skin
If fragrances irritate your skin, bring the fragrance-free detergent you normally use. For down, there is special down wash that protects the feathers. Please don't use dyes or colouring agents: the colour stays in the drum and ends up in the next customer's laundry.
Fabric softener: when it makes sense
For bed linen, T-shirts and jumpers, softener leaves your laundry pleasantly soft. Better leave it out for towels and sportswear, though: towels lose some of their absorbency, and technical fabrics stop breathing properly.
At the laundromat Stuttgart-Ost, softener costs €0.40 at the payment terminal, or from €0.30 with the discount card. You can bring your own softener just as you can bring your own detergent.
