  1. Be timely: Don't leave your clothes unattended for too long after they're done washing or drying. It's courteous to free up machines promptly for others waiting.

  2. Clean up after yourself: Always remove your clothes promptly after they're done drying, and wipe down any surfaces you've used.

  3. Respect others' space: Avoid crowding other customers' machines or reaching into their machines without permission.

  4. Use appropriate detergent: Make sure you're using the right amount of detergent to avoid leaving residue in the machines that could affect others' laundry.

  5. Don't overload machines: Overloading can lead to inefficient washing or drying and may inconvenience others who need to use the machines after you.

  6. Be mindful of noise: Keep conversation volume reasonable and avoid disruptive behavior, especially during late hours.

  7. Follow posted rules: Every laundromat might have its own set of rules, so be sure to read and follow any posted guidelines.

  8. Be considerate with folding space: If the laundromat provides folding tables, be mindful of others' need for space and try to fold your laundry efficiently.

  9. Stay nearby: While your laundry is washing or drying, try to stay nearby so you can promptly attend to it when it's finished.

  10. Be courteous with laundry carts and baskets: Return carts and baskets to their designated areas after use, and avoid blocking pathways with them.

By following these tips, you can help create a pleasant and respectful environment for everyone using the laundromat.
