When using any chemicals, adhere to the provided instructions, and avoid exceeding recommended soap quantities. Dyeing of clothing is prohibited, as is washing or drying rubber or tar-covered items. If you are dealing with insect infestations, please refrain from using our facilities. While washing or drying, the laundry baskets are communal and should not be reserved for the entirety of your visit. These baskets must remain within the store premises at all times.
