💡 Essential Tips for Washing Your Clothes at Our Self-Service Laundry in Málaga

16 September 2025Tips

Are you planning to wash your clothes at our self-service laundry? Great! Before you toss everything into the machine, here are some tips to help you take better care of your clothes and get the best results.


1. Always Check the Labels

Every garment has washing, drying, and ironing instructions. Following them prevents shrinkage, color bleeding, and fabric damage. For example:

  • Hand wash symbol: Do not use the washing machine.
  • Maximum temperature symbol: Respect it to avoid damaging the fabric.
  • Tumble dry symbol: Indicates if it can go in the dryer.


2. Separate Clothes by Color

  • Whites: To prevent staining from other clothes.
  • Darks: Keep lighter clothes safe from color transfer.
  • Bright colors: May bleed the first few washes.


3. Check Pockets and Fasteners

Empty pockets and close zippers, buttons, and Velcro before washing. This prevents damage to your clothes and the machines.


4. Treat Stains Before Washing

For tough stains like wine, coffee, or makeup, pre-treat with a stain remover for the best results.


5. Don’t Overload the Washer

Overloading may seem faster, but it prevents water and detergent from reaching all clothes, leaving them less clean.


6. Handle Delicate Fabrics with Care

For wool, silk, or sportswear, use laundry bags or delicate programs, and avoid the dryer if the label says so.


7. Use the Dryer Wisely

Dryers save time, but not all clothes need high heat. Adjust the temperature based on the fabric to prolong the life of your clothes.



✨ Extra Tip: Our large-capacity machines are perfect for duvets, blankets, and curtains. Just remember to separate colors and avoid overloading.
