Washing sportswear after training and club sport in Karlsruhe

• Do not leave it lying around: Do not keep sweaty shirts in a bag for days, or bacteria multiply and the odour sets in.
• No softener: It clogs the fibres and technical shirts breathe less. Simply skip the softener (€0.40) at the machine.
• Temperature as on the label: Usually 30 to 40 degrees, with the zip closed.
• Stay loose: Do not fill the drum completely, so everything is rinsed thoroughly.

When several people want to wash kit or training shirts, the Discount card works as a team card: one person tops it up with credit and the laundry is washed in turns, without anyone having to put cash forward. Topping up €50 gives you €62.50 of credit. More on the discount card page.

Two loads of 8 kg for 15 shirts cost €10.00, or €7.60 with the Discount card. Each load goes into a dryer of its own, because two loads do not fit in together. Sportswear dries quickly and 20 minutes is usually enough: twice €3.00, or twice €2.20 with the Discount card. Altogether that is €16.00 or €12.00, which works out at about €1.07 per person, or €0.80 with the Discount card.

Shoes and trainers stay outside: they damage the machine and the shoes themselves. If your workwear is oily or heavily soiled, do not wash it here. The residue stays in the drum.

From the Gottesauer Platz/BGV stop it is about five minutes on foot. We are open Monday to Saturday from 6 am to 11 pm, so after an evening session too. On Sundays and public holidays we are closed.
