XXL Washing Machine in Bad Cannstatt: Wash Bulky Laundry

18 kg is more than twice the capacity of a normal household machine. Typical loads for the XXL machine:

• Curtains and drapes: long lengths of fabric from a whole flat in one go.
• Winter jackets and down coats: they need room to get properly clean.
• Sleeping bags: after a festival or a camping trip.
• Sofa and cushion covers, bedspreads and large blankets.
• One huge pile of laundry: the towels of a whole shared flat, for example.

Duvets have their own guide: washing a duvet at the laundromat in Bad Cannstatt.

Bulky items need room to move in the drum, otherwise only the outside gets clean while the inside stays dirty. Weight is the other problem: soaked curtains and jackets weigh many times more than dry ones, which overwhelms many household machines during the spin. The XXL machine in our self-service laundry is built for exactly that.

One XXL load costs €13.50, from €10.20 with the discount card. A dryer costs €1.50 per 10 minutes. Split large items between two of the 4 dryers and everything dries faster.

1. Place the items loosely in one of the two XXL machines.
2. Add detergent: your own, or from the machine for €0.70.
3. Choose the XXL machine at the payment kiosk and pay.
4. Press the start button on the machine and come back after about 35 minutes.

Rigid rugs with a stiff backing, shoes, pet blankets and work clothes soaked in oil or petrol stay out, so the machines stay clean for the next customer. A flexible rug that you can fold is welcome. All house rules

The Wash&Go laundromat Bad Cannstatt is at Wildunger Straße 66, 2 minutes on foot from the U13/U1 stop Uff-Kirchhof. Take your curtains down on a Saturday and you can still wash and dry them the same day, because we are open until 10 pm.
