Laundry Service
Let us do your laundry...
Since you want more free time, we'll wash your clothes for you. Many students take advantage of our laundry service. It's convenient: we provide you with a laundry bah, you fill it up and bring it to the laundry room of your hall on a designated laundry day. The bags are picked up early in the morning, washed, dried, folded neatly, wrapped in plastic, and returned.
The service will wash up to 20 pounds of your laundry each week. The cost is only $310 per semester. When you move-in, our staff will provide you with your laundry bag, lock, and laundry day information.

The student is responsible for ensuring that his/her HDGS laundry bag is secured to the laundry cable in the laundry room of their assigned residence hall.
Laundry will be washed, dried, folded and wrapped in plastic and returned within 24 hours of the scheduled laundry day.
Missed/Unattended Pickup or Delivery:
If the student misses their regularly scheduled laundry day, the student will forfeit the service for that week and will not be reimbursed.
Laundry Schedule:
Laundry will be processed on an assigned day each week, except on certain holidays determined by the university calendar. Each student is allowed one (1) laundry bag per week. HDGS reserves the right to determine the weekly schedule and in its sole discretion and reserves the right to reschedule weekly service upon prior notice to the student.
Payment:
The fee ($310/semester) for the Student Laundry Service will be posted to your student account, via the Bursar.

HDGS, the student may file a claim through the Ohio Court of Claims.
HDGS is not liable for any preexisting damage to garments. If we find any preexisting damage or have a concern about the colorfastness, or the age or weakness of the fabric, we will contact you to obtain your approval before proceeding to care for the item.
