The College has laundry rooms in both London House and William Goodenough House, which use the 'Circuit' system for paying for laundry.
Circuit Go is an app for using the laundry facilities at Goodenough College. It offers two quick ways to pay: using the app you can link it to a payment method and pay for washing and drying directly from your phone; or you can pay as you go by tapping contactless with your card, phone or smartwatch.
The app allows you to see which machines are empty before heading to the laundry room and will give you estimated finish times, so there’s no need to wait around in the laundry room.
For detailed advice on getting started with Circuit Go and for washing hints and tips visit the Circuit Go website.
Remember, when you need to dry your clothes please use the laundry rooms (not your room or flat) to avoid condensation and mould and to maintain a healthy living environment.
