<p>i havent seen a thread about this crucial point. is laundry costly if u live on campus or is it free??? where can i was my clothes if i live in rieber??? how much is it??? how often should i do it??? just questions other and me might have thanks for answering...</p>
<p>This has been answered in the BAR. Do a search.</p>
<p>I don't think anyone ever said if there were top-loaders or front-loaders at UCLA. And was the actual cost covered, or just quarters v. swipes?</p>
<p>Hedrick Summit - front loaders... The halls are top loaders (WHY THE HELL DOES THIS MATTER???)</p>
<p>$1 for wash, $1 for dry, at least it was this past year.</p>
<p>You add a quarter (FOR A TOTAL OF $1.25 JUST TO BE SUPER CLEAR BECAUSE I KNOW SOMEONE WILL BE LIKE, IS THAT INCLUDED IN THE $1 OR ADDITIONAL TO BLAH BLAH BLAH) after it starts to add extra time.</p>
<p>top loaders in the halls now eh? interesting ;)</p>

<p>For super super short people.</p>
<p>top and front loaders matter
girls' clothes are better washed in front loaders because they are more delicate to the clothes. Top loaders have that agitate thing in the middle which can ruin (hurt) the quality of fabric. So I really would prefer front loaders.</p>
<p>Anyway, what about reiber terrace? are they front or top loaders?</p>
<p>i would guess front, seeing as it's not a hall. summit has front loaders and is basically identical.</p>
<p>Dykstra was front load.</p>
<p>emucla is right, but IMO toploaders clean better.</p>
<p>Front loaders are more energy efficient and save on water usage. You can also put more in front loaders than top loaders thus saving you money. It's too bad that UCLA isn't offering front loaders - save on energy and water. They should be helping the environment.</p>
<p>Don't forget to turn your jeans/pants/t-shirts inside out before washing especially darks. Suppose to help the colors last longer and not put as much wear and tear on the fabric from the washing. Zip up all zippers. The teeth on the zippers (left unzip) will help ruin the fabric on your other clothes. Think of zippers like a serrated knife.
If in doubt about what temperature, play it safe and use cold water. Cold water for dark clothes for sure.
Have fun washing.</p>
<p>what about hitch</p>
<p>Do they have laundry detergent there for you, or do we have to bring our own? Also, if they have it, is it that awful generic kind?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure we have to supply our own</p>
<p>what do you think the dorms are, some kind of hotel?</p>
<p>yes, bring your own. also don't forget bounce sheets. and quarters. and a hamper.</p>
<p>you can buy detergent at the hilltop store, saves you some space and weight during the move in (depending on how much you're bringing!).</p>
<p>and get a timer or something, or keep your eye on the clock. some people just like to take your newly washed clothes out of the washing machine, putting it on top of another machine or on the floor, so they can wash their clothes.</p>
<p>i was 4 minutes late once and i even saw the guy that dumped my clothes on the floor... dumb football players. -_-</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>**** the environment, it's just a political ploy to scare its citizens</p>
<p>$2 per load if we use washer and dryer? Ugh. I need more quarters. Also, top- vs. front-loader matters because there is special detergent for front-loaders.</p>
<p>Looks like I gotta stock up on some Tide...</p>

<p>I just poured the detergent on top of my clothes for the front-loaders. Really, y'alls is so high maintenance. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>special detergent??</p>
