Did you know detergent will be included in your wash?

Designed to make it easier for you, the wash cycle includes non-biological liquid detergent and fabric conditioner.

The non-biological liquid detergent (view factsheet) contains optical brighteners designed to increase the whiteness and brightness of your laundry. The fabric conditioner (view factsheet) makes your clothes last longer while the encapsulated fragrance technology will keep them smelling fresh.

 

How do I pay?

Laundry is free in all the WASHPOINT launderettes. Tap the payment unit on the machine with the fob you received with your accommodation keys to pay for a wash or a dry using your free credit.

If you have used up your credits or lost your fob, you can use a debit/credit card or Apple/Google Pay to pay instead.

Please speak with someone at your accommodation reception desk for information on launderette credits or lost fobs.
