Laundry Facilities
Laundry Rooms
Both 30 and 35 Charles St. W. have laundry rooms. Residents have access to laundry rooms in both buildings:
- At 30 Charles St. W., the laundry room is located on the 3rd floor, to the right of the elevators;
- At 35 Charles St. W., the laundry room is located on the 2nd floor, to the left of the elevators.
You’ll need your FOB to open the laundry room doors.
Hours of Operation
The laundry rooms are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Laundry Room Etiquette
In each laundry room there are specific machines reserved for pet-free and perfume-free laundry.
Please wipe out the machine you have used to remove anything that may have fallen out of pockets, and to get rid of pet hair that may be left behind.
Moving clothes
If your load has finished its cycle and you are not there to move the clothes, other residents are entitled to remove your clothes to free up a machine.
Set a Timer
Set a timer so you know when to return to the laundry room to retrieve your clothes as soon as they are done.
Clean MAchines
Once your load has finished, please clean out the washing machine drum and door seal to remove any additional debris (e.g., pet hair) left behind.
Pet & Scent-Free Machines
Leave pet-free and scent free machines for residents with allergies or sensitivities.
Clean Spills
Out of courtesy for your fellow residents, clean up any spills you make.
Machines
Laundry rooms are equipped with Maytag front and top-load washers and dryers.
Using The Machines
- Never use more soap than indicated or add soap to the bleach and/or fabric softener compartment. Doing so will shut down the machine with an error code.
- Do not overload or wash floor mats, rugs or pet bedding in the machines, as it may result in flooding.
- Do not use any kind of dye in the washing machines
Broken Machines
If you notice that a washer/dryer is out of service or find lost laundry cards, please report it to the Residence Office.
Residents are asked to also use the signs we have provided to identify a machine needing repair to others.
Payment System
The machines operate on a laundry card and/or mobile app system. The Mobile App is free to use, and the laundry cards are available for purchase for $10.00 at the reload kiosk located within each laundry room. The value on the mobile app account is not connected to the value on your laundry card.
