The first Wash ME” washing machine in Braunschweig impresses customers!

The new washing station “Wash ME” has opened its doors in Braunschweig and brings a breath of fresh air into the often tedious everyday washing routine. This unique self-service washing station is located directly next to the garden center in the Globus car park and offers both private and commercial washing services. What can users expect in this new facility? A lot!

The washing station has two powerful machines, one with 9 kilograms and one with 20 kilograms capacity. A wash cycle here costs 5 euros for the smaller machine and 10 euros for the larger machine - quite attractive compared to domestic washing machines, where you pay between 80 cents and 1.20 euros for a 9 kilo load. Even drying only costs a small amount of 3 euros for 20 minutes. Payment is extremely flexible and includes coins, notes, credit cards and contactless payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Why “Wash ME” is so special

What sets “Wash ME” apart from traditional laundromats is its 24-hour self-service. Users can access the washing station at any time of the day or night, regardless of whether they want to quickly wash something or tackle a large mountain of laundry. The concept provider, the British-French ME Group, already operates around 5,000 washing stations in 12 countries and relies on quality and modern technology.

All machines are accessible to people with reduced mobility, which is an important aspect of user-friendliness. During the washing process, the machines are blocked and prevent damage from occurring. Users also receive a free SMS notification five minutes before the end of the wash cycle, so that no one has to leave their laundry unnoticed.

Sustainability and technology in focus

Another big plus point is the environmentally friendly aspects of “Wash ME”. The integrated detergent system ensures precise dosage, which is not only hypoallergenic, but has also been awarded an Ecolabel - free of phosphates, preservatives and dyes. This sustainable approach not only protects the environment, but also creates a health benefit for users.

In addition, as is characteristic of the ME Group, many washing stations are equipped with photovoltaic solar panels. This significantly reduces electricity consumption compared to traditional laundries. The machines require a maximum of 16 KW of electrical power, which is not only environmentally friendly but also cost-saving for the operators. In addition, all washing stations are equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting, which further contributes to sustainability.

The “Wash ME” offering could bring further positive impulses to the region. You just have to wait and see how the washing station is received by citizens and whether new locations are perhaps even being planned. The possible uses are diverse, from duvets to pillows to everyday clothing - everything can be accommodated in the robust machines.

In summary, “Wash ME” shows what modern washing can look like: flexible, sustainable and user-friendly. If this meets the taste of the people of Braunschweig, it could be the beginning of a new era in washing.
