The Laundry Room is in the basement, adjacent to a room with sofas and shelves where unwanted books, magazines, or small household articles can be disposed of in case anybody else wants them.
There are 8 top loading washing machines, and 8 front-loading dryers. The dryers run for approximately an hour on a single token.
The cost for both washing and drying is $1.75 per load. Tokens are available in envelopes of 10 from the Resident Manager’s office in the lobby. Since that office is not always staffed, it is wise to buy tokens in advance of need.
The filters in the dryers are long, open, and near the front. Thus, clothes being dried often gather lint from the filters, and especially can get linty when clothes are removed. So, even though one is supposed to clean the filters both before and after using the dryer, it is a good idea to ALSO clean them from time to time DURING the drying cycle.
Using one’s fingers to clean lint filters is unpleasant, so one way to handle this is to go into the bathroom off the adjacent room and get some toilet paper to use in cleaning the filters.
