How to plan the visit#
- Sort colors and bulky items before you leave. A comforter needs a large washer, and mixing it with jeans wastes the drum.
- Bring your laundry card, or plan to add value at the kiosk before you start a machine.
- Check the location page for live machine availability if the trip is time-sensitive.
- If you need drop-off, confirm you are at Merle Hay, Clive, or South Ankeny, and call ahead for attendant hours.
- If you need a machine after midnight, use a store whose hours say open 24/7. University, Fleur Drive, and SE 14th close at midnight.
