Laundry is a necessary chore for college students, and Elon University provides convenient Laundry Services in various residential locations. This guide outlines laundry costs, locations, how-to instructions, and how to report any issues with the machines.
Laundry Costs and Payment
Each wash cycle costs $1.50, and a 60-minute drying cycle is $1.25. Need extra drying time? You can add 15-minute increments for $0.25 each. Payment is exclusively accepted through Phoenix Cash, a prepaid debit account system used on campus.
Checking Machine Availability
Before heading to the laundry room, check the availability of washers and dryers online. Elon utilizes LaundryView, a real-time monitoring system, accessible at LaundryView – www.laundryview.com/elon. This allows you to see which machines are in use, available, or out of service, saving you time and potential frustration. You can also check cycle times on this website.

Using the laundry machines at Elon is straightforward:
-
Locate an Available Machine: Check the Phoenix Card reader in the laundry room to see which washers and dryers are currently available.
-
Select and Pay: Input the number of the desired machine on the Phoenix Card reader and swipe your Phoenix Card to pay for the cycle.
