Washing bulky items in the XXL machine in Stuttgart-Ost
For big items, the Wash&Go Laundromat Stuttgart-Ost has 18 kg XXL washing machines: curtains, sleeping bags, down jackets and upholstery covers are washed in them for €13.50 per cycle, and for even less with the discount card.
What fits into the large washing machine
- Curtains and net curtains, even several panels in one go
- Sleeping bags after a camping trip or festival
- Down jackets and winter coats that are too bulky for a machine at home
- Upholstery and sofa covers, mattress protectors, blankets from the balcony
- Flexible rugs that can be folded. Please no rigid rugs with a stiff backing, as they can damage the machine.
Drying afterwards
Bulky items need a little longer in the dryer. You pay €1.50 per 10 minutes and add more time if needed. Curtains are best hung up while still slightly damp, so they crease less.
What doesn't belong in the machines
Please don't bring dog or horse blankets, because people with allergies wash after you. Work clothes soaked in oil or petrol also stay outside: the residues cling to the drum.
Bringing bulky laundry by car
A laundry bag full of duvets, curtains and tablecloths is heavy. That's why it helps that there is public parking right in front of the laundromat Stuttgart-Ost on Gablenberger Hauptstraße, plus a multi-storey car park opposite. You only carry your big load a few metres to the XXL washing machine.
Coming without a car? Take bus 42 or 45 to the Libanonstraße stop; from there it's a two-minute walk.
