In all University residence halls, except 1959 E Street, The Dakota and Townhouse Row, Laundry Facilities are in common areas on each floor or in one central location in the building, usually on the first floor or the basement levels. All operating directions are posted on bulletin boards in the laundry rooms. You can use your GWorld card to pay to use laundry machines. Laundry Equipment is maintained and serviced by third-party companies and residents should call them directly to report operating problems as follows:
1959 E Street, The Dakota, Townhouse Row

WARNING:
Tips on Use:
-
As a general rule of thumb, the units operate best when not overloaded, and when the clothing loosely fills the unit, and is not packed in.
-
Also, be sure to clean out the lint trap after each dryer use, and be sure to check before loading your clothes to ensure that the lint trap is clear. This will keep air flow open and allow optimal dryer operation.
If you have any questions, contact Residential Property Management at (202) 994-2430.
