When using coin laundry service, there are some notes and rules that we should follow to maintain order and general hygiene in the public laundry.

• Respect and maintain order: Since coin laundry is a public place, we need to respect and maintain order in the laundry room. Make sure we don't leave any trash or personal items behind after use.
• Waiting for your turn to wash: There may be a wait when using an automatic washing machine. In this case, wait for your turn to wash and don't intrude on someone else's.
• Dispose of clothes left in the machine: If when it's our turn to wash, someone else's clothes are still in the machine, put the clothes in separate baskets and put the baskets in one place. After that, start your laundry.
• Use an automatic shoe washing machine: Some automatic laundry rooms are equipped with an automatic shoe washing machine. These washing machines will help us clean and dry shoes quickly. This allows visitors to travel and tour with clean, dry shoes immediately after washing.
• Use reasonable waiting time: In the process of waiting, coin laundry shops often provide waiting chairs, books, newspapers and vending machines for the entertainment and convenience of customers. Guests can relax, read a book, or chat with friends in the meantime.

Coin laundry is a popular and typical service in Japan, helping visitors solve laundry problems during long trips. Complying with the above notes and rules will help visitors maintain order and a better experience during using this service.
