Great spot to get your laundry done, steps from Servette tram and bus stop. Avoid high prices of your hotel, bag up your dirties, and head to Valnet! Take 1, 2 and 5 coins! TIPS * take one-franc coins for laundry soap, one for each load. * take five-franc coins for your wash loads, one each, they take 45-55 minutes depending on the cycle * do not overfill! These are smart washers and will automatically stop mid cycle if you overload it. * choose your cycle before you go to pay * "tre chaud" is REAAALLY hot. Leave a colored piece in there and it's dye will be extracted for sure! (My favorite whites are now blue-grey) :( * push the dial on the washer to pause * spin the empty washer with your hand before you leave to make sure there's no socks left. Otherwise it will go to hang on the sock orphanage on the other wall (see pic) * industrial dryers are 1 chf for 8 minutes and take 16 minutes max to dry your stuff. Check often so you don't burn your clothes! INSTRUCTIONS Have a look at the numerous signs on the walls to understand how to the machines work and which slot on top is for what. Powdered detergent is nearby. Watch out. It is quite powerful. Don't use it on your delicate fabrics and colors. ADVANCED TIP Note your remaining wash time, set a timer on your device and head next door for an amazing kebab, frites, and a beer! read more
