Save time, money, and frustration with these insider tips from Kansas City’s cleanest laundromat.

Let’s face it—laundry isn't anyone’s favorite task. But when done right, a trip to the laundromat can actually be quick, efficient, and even a little satisfying. At Splash Laundry, we’ve designed our self-serve experience to be as smooth and stress-free as possible—with modern machines, clean spaces, and thoughtful amenities.

Whether you're new to the self-service scene or just looking to upgrade your routine, these tips and tricks will help you make the most of every wash.

🧺 1. Choose the Right Machine Size for the Job

One of the biggest mistakes people make is overloading a small washer—or underloading a large one. At Splash Laundry, we offer machines ranging from 10lbs to 80lbs, so you can match your load size to the perfect machine and avoid wasted cycles.

Pro tip:

Use smaller machines (10–20lbs) for daily loads or delicates

Mid-size machines (30–40lbs) for towels, sheets, or light bedding

High-capacity machines (60–80lbs) for comforters, large family loads, or bulky items

🧽 2. Pre-Sort and Pre-Treat Before You Arrive

Sorting clothes at home saves time and helps prevent mix-ups. Pre-treat any stains before you get to the laundromat using your favorite stain remover or baking soda paste.

Bring separate laundry bags for:

Whites

Colors

Towels

Delicates

You’ll be ready to load and go the moment you walk in.

⏱️ 3. Set a Timer—And Multitask Smart

Don't just wait on your laundry—use that time! Our customers love to:

Fold while drying to save time

Catch up on emails with our free Wi-Fi

Grab a bite nearby (Dunkin’ and Popeyes are right next door!)

Read or relax in our comfy seating area

Pro tip:

Most wash and dry cycles are done in under an hour, so set a timer on your phone to stay on track and avoid delays.

💳 4. Embrace the Quarter-Free Life

We’ve said goodbye to quarters—and trust us, your pockets will thank you. Splash Laundry now accepts cash and card payments at our self-service kiosks.

Just tap, load, and go.

🟦 BONUS: Use promo code RENO during value load to get a $2 bonus on your self-serve laundry card!

🧴 5. Bring Your Own Essentials (or Use Ours!)

Want to save even more? Bring:

Your preferred detergent or eco-friendly pods

Mesh bags for delicates

Dryer sheets or wool dryer balls

A folding laundry basket or tote

But don’t worry—if you forget something, we’ve got you covered. Our vending machines offer detergent, softener, bags, and snacks.

🧹 6. Take Advantage of Our Extras

Splash Laundry is more than just washers and dryers. We offer:

Clean, modern restrooms

A kid-friendly play corner

Multiple folding tables with ample space

Two fast self-check-in kiosks for a no-wait start

🚿 7. Wash the Stuff You Can’t (or Shouldn’t) at Home

Not everything should go in your home washer! Bring items like:

Bath mats

Large comforters

Throw rugs

Dog beds and crate pads

Heavy-duty workwear

Our machines are made to handle what your washer can’t.
