Using a shared laundry room? A little courtesy goes a long way. These quick tips help you keep the peace — and your clothes clean.


Be Prompt

    Don’t leave your laundry sitting in the machine. When using one of our CSC apps (CSC GO/CSC Pay), you’ll be alerted when your laundry cycle is complete, and can add dryer time remotely if you need more time.

    Clean Up After Yourself

      Wipe down machines, remove lint, and toss dryer sheets. It’s simple, respectful, and ensures a better experience for everyone.

      Don’t Move Others’ Laundry

        Even if a washer’s been idle for a while, wait it out if you can.

        Drop Laundry Pods Into the Drum — Not the Detergent Drawer

          Laundry pods are designed to go straight into the washer drum with your clothes. Placing them in the detergent drawer can lead to clogs, since the pod’s wrapper may not fully dissolve — and that can create problems for the next person using the machine.

          Don’t Assume a Broken Machine Has Been Reported

            Putting an “out of order” sign on a machine is great, but don’t stop there. CSC can’t fix what we don’t know about! If you come across a machine that’s not working, take a moment to submit a quick service request in your laundry app. It’s fast, easy, and ensures everyone gets access to properly functioning machines.

            Laundry day doesn’t have to be stressful. With a little awareness — and a few smart tools — everyone can have a better wash-day experience.
