General Laundromat Questions
Are laundromat washing machines clean?
Laundromat washing machines are routinely cleaned. However, it\u2019s always a good idea to check the machine before using it. At WaveMAX Plano, our machines are cleaned and inspected regularly so you can rest assured your clothes are washed in a sanitary environment.
Do I have to stay at the laundromat?
No, you do not have to stay at the laundromat while your clothes are being washed. If you need assistance, our staff in Plano can help you. You\u2019re free to come and go as you please.
Do I bring my own detergent to the laundromat?
You\u2019re welcome to bring your own detergent. Many customers like knowing exactly what ingredients are used on their clothes. We also stock detergent for your convenience.
How do you remove old stains from clothes?
Old stains require a stain remover that washes away completely. Try dishwashing liquid with hot water, soaking in bleach diluted with water, lemon juice for rust stains, or cold water for blood stains. For tough cases, our wash-dry-fold staff in Plano can pre-treat stains for you.
How long does it take to wash clothes at the laundromat?
It depends on load size, soil level, and which machine you choose. At WaveMAX Plano, most washes finish in 30 minutes and most dries in about 20 minutes \u2014 so you can be in and out in under an hour for an average load.

Should you wash white clothes separately?
