Tips: Visit Basic-fit at the same time, but don't get too muscular; changing wardrobes is expensive.
General tips: During your laundry cycle, you can go for a walk; the machines are locked during the cycle, so there's no risk of someone stealing your clothes. Put a bag in front or on the top of the washing machine so if you're late people can put your clothes in it when the washing is done.
Go earlier in the morning or in the after noon, during the evening you might be waiting a long time before having acces to a washing machine (especially Saturday and Sunday evenings)
