What fits in the large washing machine? XXL laundry in Oststadt

The large washing machine of 18 kg at the laundromat Karlsruhe-Oststadt takes duvets, bedspreads, sleeping bags, curtains, woollen blankets and flexible rugs. Rigid rugs, animal blankets and heavily soiled workwear stay out. The machine costs €13.50.

Clean interior of the Wash&Go self-service laundromat Karlsruhe-Oststadt with lounge area, folding table and modern equipment.

What fits in the XXL drum

  • Bedspreads and woollen blankets: Large items that do not rinse evenly in a home machine.
  • Sleeping bags: Clean again after camping or a festival.
  • Curtains: Several at once, without the home-machine marathon.
  • Throws and sofa covers: They go in with room to spare.
  • Flexible rugs: If the rug folds without kinking, it may go in the machine. One guest wrote in a Google review that the 18 kg drum is “easily” big enough for a rug mat.

What must stay out, and why

  • Rigid rugs: They cannot be folded and put too much strain on the drum during the spin.
  • Animal blankets (dogs, horses): Animal hair clings to the drum and the seal, and the next customer might have allergies. Otherwise we cannot guarantee that the machine stays clean.
  • Workwear soiled with oil or petrol, or heavily dirty: Residue stays in the drum and comes out again with the next load.
  • Shoes and trainers: They damage the machine and the shoes.
  • Dyeing: The colour stays in the drum and stains the next customer's laundry.

Only one XXL machine, so here is a tip

We have one XXL machine, plus 7 machines of 8 kg. If it is busy, wash the smaller items in an 8 kg machine first and take the big load when the XXL machine is free. Our how-it-works guide shows which load goes where.
