  • Monitor the status of your community's laundry machines using LaundryView

Laundry Accounts:

A laundry account is automatically established for all housing contract holders. Find out more and how to add funds at our Laundry Accounts page.

Laundry Quick Facts

  • Our laundry machines don’t take coins. Students can add funds to their laundry account following the instructions on our Laundry Accounts page.
  • Washers are $1.75, and dryers are $1.30 per cycle.
  • Do not overload the washers & dryers. Clothing needs to be able to move freely to clean properly.
  • Place clothing loosely in machines, leaving about 5" of space from the top. If clothing is overloaded, clothing can be damaged.
  • Do not wash or dry comforters or large bulky items in these machines.

Bulk Laundry & Dry Cleaning Service:
Did you know you can bring your laundry to the selected Campus Life Service Centers and have it returned clean and folded the next day? Cornell works with Lazybones to offer this affordable service to busy students. Lazybones has been keeping students clean since 1993.

You can select a package by the semester or pay by the pound. You can bring your laundry to the North Campus Service Center and Hasbrouck Service Center.

Laundry service from Lazybones starts at $1.45 per pound, and dry cleaning is priced per item. If you have any questions about the service, which is available from the first week of classes through the end of the semester, please visit www.MyLAZYBONES.com or contact wecare@mylazybones.com or 877-215-2105.
