Circuit Go gives you two simple ways to pay for your laundry –

1. Through the Circuit Go app on your Apple or Android phone
2. By tapping the contactless terminal or inserting your card underneath the reader in the laundry room.

The Circuit Go app is a great way to pay, keep track of your receipts, get support when needed, check machine availability and book it - from your room!

• Download Circuit Go to your smartphone from Google Play or the App Store.
• Open the app, and tap ‘create a new user’. Enter your name and phone number, then make a PIN code.
• When you create a user, you’ll be sent a 6-digit one-time code by text, which you must enter to confirm your phone number.
• To use Circuit Go, you’ll need a valid payment card. Circuit Go accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, JBC, American Express, Google Pay, Apple Pay, iDEAL, and Bancontact.

Prices of washing and drying can be found on individual machines. However, to give you an idea of costs, a standard wash costs £2.50, whilst a standard dry is £1.30 for 60 minutes.

1. Add detergent. It is recommended to use detergent pods, but you can use powder or liquid if preferred.
2. Load the machine. Don’t overload or underload the machine. Around 75% full is recommended
3. Select the appropriate cycle for your wash. (Check your care labels!)
4. Make Payment (Via the app or contactless terminal)
5. Confirm the cycle
6. Press “GO” and relax!

Make sure your clothes are separated properly (most importantly dark coloured clothes from light coloured clothes!) For a successful wash - read the information on your clothes labels and follow the cycle guides on the washing machines.

1. Load the dryer. Only dry one washing load at a time. Clothes will not dry if the dryer is overloaded.
2. Select the appropriate cycle. (Check your care labels!)
3. Make payment (Via the app or contactless terminal)
4. Confirm the cycle
5. Press “Go” and relax!

WASHING STILL COMING OUT WET?

The machines installed across Aberystwyth campus are designed to redistribute the load if it becomes uneven. When a machine is overloaded or under loaded this becomes harder to achieve, so make sure to follow the load guide stickers on each machine.

Choosing the correct cycle on both the washing machines and tumble dryers is crucial to achieving an effective dry. 60-minute drying cycles may not be quite enough time to dry items such as Jeans, towels etc. You may need a top up 10 or 20 minutes which can be added anytime during the dry period.

Please clean the filter before and after using the dryers.  The lint filter can be found once you open the door of the dryer at the front in the door frame.

Faults are to be reported by calling the Freephone helpline on 0800 092 4068 or if using a mobile, by calling 01422 820040. If there is a phone in your laundry, pick up the handset and it will dial directly to the Circuit Helpdesk. You can also report a fault through your app under ‘settings > support’. When reporting a fault, please provide the site name and number which can be found on a red sticker on the laundry walls.

Faults can also be reported online on the Circuit Laundry website Report a Fault  
Once reported they endeavour to attend the call within 24 hours.
