At a laundromat, clear questions help you understand how the machines and payment work.
The idea
Ask whether a machine is free, what a wash costs, how to pay and where to dry your clothes.
Examples
- ¿Hay una lavadora libre?Is there a free washing machine?
- ¿Cuánto cuesta un lavado?How much does a wash cost?
- ¿Acepta monedas o tarjeta?Does it accept coins or a card?
- ¿Hay detergente disponible?Is detergent available?
- ¿Cuánto dura el programa?How long does the program take?
- ¿Dónde puedo secar la ropa?Where can I dry my clothes?
