Wash a Rug at the Laundromat in Bad Cannstatt

Flexible rugs that you can fold are fine to wash, ideally in the XXL washing machine with 18 kg (€13.50, from €10.20 with the discount card). Rigid rugs with a stiff backing are not allowed at the Wash&Go laundromat Bad Cannstatt, because they can damage the machine.

Which rugs are OK?

  • Yes: bath mats, cotton runners, thin woven rugs and rag rugs that can be folded. Follow the care label.
  • No: rugs with a stiff rubber or latex backing, thick deep-pile rugs and anything rigid. In the spin cycle they slam hard against the drum.

How to wash a runner

  1. Shake out or vacuum the rug well, so sand and crumbs do not end up in the machine.
  2. Place it loosely in one of the 2 XXL washing machines. For small bath mats, an 8 kg machine is enough.
  3. Choose the temperature on the label, usually 30 or 40 °C, and a mild detergent.
  4. Tumble dry only if the label allows it. Otherwise let it dry flat at home.

Why the rule matters

A rigid rug can damage the drum and the bearings of the machine. Then the machine is out of order for everyone else. That is why the rule applies in all 7 Wash&Go laundromats.
