Laundry Services
Haven Dollars
Haven Dollars is the name of our vending and laundry money account service. With Haven Dollars, all of the washers and dryers in the laundry rooms marked with a "Y" below can be paid for by swiping your Lock Haven University Student I.D. in a card reader located in the laundry room. Money can be put on your Student I.D. for laundry by visiting the Haven Dollars website or by visiting the Haven Dollars kiosk in Bentley Dining Hall, next to the ATM. This is just one more effort to make living on campus ever more convenient for our residents.

Washers and dryers can now start with a swipe of your Lock Haven University Student I.D. card. Money can be put on your Student I.D. for laundry by visiting the Haven Dollars website or by visiting the Haven Dollars kiosk in Bentley Dining Hall, next to the ATM.
The standard rate for one washer cycle is $1.50 and one dryer cycle is $1.25 Quarters are still accepted by the machines. For example, if a resident would like to use additional services such as super cycle for the washer, or to add extra time to the dryers, Haven Dollars will pay for the standard cycle and then quarters must be added on the machine.
When a resident uses their Haven Dollars to pay for a washer, the washer is automatically considered to be "in-use" for a period of forty-five minutes to allow for different cycle options. If the chosen cycle is less than forty-five minutes, the washer will not be available for use with another Haven Dollars account until the forty-five minutes has elapsed. The minimum amount of time on any washing cycle is 35 minutes, so the maximum wait time will be 10 minutes.
Haven Dollars vs. FLEX Dollars
It is important to note that Haven Dollars are not the same as Flex dollars and funds
cannot be transferred between the two. Flex Dollars are used in the dining hall and
the affiliated dining areas only.
Haven Dollars can be put on your Student I.D. for laundry by visiting the Haven Dollars website or by visiting the Haven Dollars kiosk in Bentley Dining Hall, next to the ATM. Money

Helpful Tips
If you find that the soap has not completely rinsed out of your clothes most likely you used more than 1/3 of the soap recommended for a top loading machine, wash again with the recommended amount of soap for a front loading washing machine.
