look just take your clothes, some laundry detergent and fabric softener, and a bunch of coins and get on over there. it is no big mystery. and those machines have directions on them.





tell you what, just pick a machine next to the most attractive person in there, and ask them...';this is my first time, could you help me out?'; LOLI have never used a launderette鈥?(I use my washing machine at home), how can I use a coin operated one (UK)?
Put in your clothes, close the door, select the temp, add your detergent/powder in the little door. If you want to use the dryer, put in your clothes, shut door, select temp, put money in.





Ive learnt tho there is always some washers that dont work as good as others in laudarettes, look to see what other machines people are using. There will probably be a few different kinds of washers.
Take some detergent - plus the dispenser if you use liquid. Bung your washing in the machine, powder in the drawer or dispenser in with the wash. You put your coins in the slot - then wait until it's done.
Instructions on how to use are visible,and 9 times out of 10 there is usually an attendant for service washes to help you:)
Put detergent in washer.


Put clothes in washer.


Shut the lid.


Select cycle.


Put coins in coin slot.


Press go.
The instructions are on the machines, you can't go wrong and you can read them while loading clothes in. It's fool proof.
Do you English people have change machine where you put a euro into the machine and makes chaange which is coins...





Here in use it works like that with USD money
I think you just need some coins and ur good
make sure you've got the right change :)

Bought a foreclosed apt. bldg. that has coin operated washing machines. Need access to coin box. Any ideas?

The machines were just left in the building with no signage or contact information. They will make a great addition to the building but won't be very useful if they get filled with coins and there is no way to empty them. I think they are Whirlpool, but couldn't anyone just call to get a key and then you could run all over town stealing $ out of machines!!Bought a foreclosed apt. bldg. that has coin operated washing machines. Need access to coin box. Any ideas?
Contact Whirlpool and see if they have any suggestions. Perhaps with proof of ownership of the building where the machines are, they may help you access them.Bought a foreclosed apt. bldg. that has coin operated washing machines. Need access to coin box. Any ideas?
A lock smith may be able to help you. If not contact a company that sells Commercial washers and explain your situation. They may be able to get you a key if you can get the number from the coin boxes. If not they can get you replacement coin boxes and give you information on changing the boxes out.





Be sure to check the Serial number on all the coin boxes as they may not all be keyed the same.

I need some coin operated washing machine hacks?

I know if you take the top off there is a switch that allows you to turn off the coin acceptance mechanism. I also found out by gentle wedging a screw driver in the panel on top and wait for a click, you can manipulate the price of the wash along with timed cycles.

Do the foam brushes at a coin operated self serve car wash put scratches in the paint of a new car?

I've heard you should only use a soft sponge or cloth to wash your vehicle.Do the foam brushes at a coin operated self serve car wash put scratches in the paint of a new car?
Your best bet is to go to a hand wash car wash. Brushes eat into the paint and may not be recognizable at first. But contiued use will ruin your paint job.Do the foam brushes at a coin operated self serve car wash put scratches in the paint of a new car?
Before using the brush, you should run your fingers threw it to make sure there is nothing in the brush to scratch your paint. Otherwise they are fine to use.
I wouldn't use it as maybe someone before you washed their 4x4 after they were running the mud trails, that will definitely scratch your paint, always use a soft sponge to wash your vehicle.
yes


they do





if you go to an automatic car wash


go touchless


otherwise use a special wash mitt designed to wash cars
no the modern paint is pretty durable
those brushes are meant for your wheels and tires

How do I start my coin operated washing machine with a screwdriver?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start a coin operated washing or drying machine, without coins?How do I start my coin operated washing machine with a screwdriver?
Sure do. You need the timer access key. And if you don't have that, I'm guessing you should not be messing around with the unit. I lease coin op units and have taken two people to court for damaging my machines trying to rig them.





**Edit**





I thought I would go into a little more detail.





The first time this happened, a young lady tried to brake the coin mech. Her repair bill was $275.00. Got to love cameras!





The second ws the OWNER of the Apartment complex!!! His bill was almost $700.00 for the re-keying of all the units! He nearly went to jail too.





Now think before you go breaking other peoples property.How do I start my coin operated washing machine with a screwdriver?
You don't.





You only the machine and have keys, or you pay to use other people's machines.





If you want to do your laundry relatively free, go buy your own laundry set.
sell your screwdriver and use the money to wash your cloths

How to properly wash a car in a coin operated car wash?

I sometimes get white spots on my car after washing in one of those coin-operated car washes.





Basically I scrub the car. rinse, use soap, rinse and use spotless rinse.. what am i doing wrong%26gt;How to properly wash a car in a coin operated car wash?
1st- use high pressure soap spray, start from top of car and make your way to the wheels.


2- then use foaming brush to scrub, dont start scrubbing yet if there is still dirt because it will scratch your car.


3- then rinse with high pressure water, rinse the same as step 1, from top of car to bottom.


4- bring a soft towel with you to dry your car after because that will help prevent the spots. (and soft towel so it doesnt scratch your car)





hope this helped! have fun!How to properly wash a car in a coin operated car wash?
1. those coin operated ones are bad for your car





those scrubbers cause swirl marks





if you go to automatic car washes





go to touchless ones





otherwise, just do it yourself





im assuming those white spots are water spots


so, you need to dry your car afterwards.
The only thing your not doing is shaming the car dry.


Even if you use a spot less rinse is not really end the fact that you still need to dry the car off.
most of the coin car washes have the directions in large metal signs on the walls just follow those directions and see how it goes for you after that
rinse before scrubbing
