Laundry Room Protocol

KEEP THINGS CLEAN

Keep the laundry rooms clean by properly disposing of detergent containers, dryer sheets, lint or other garbage, and by cleaning up any messes or spills.

RETRIEVE YOUR ITEMS

Retrieve your items promptly from the laundry machines. SF State is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
