-====== Wall Paint ======+====== 🧺 Laundry Rooms ======
  
-This page collects resident experience about wall paint and small wall repairs in Unity Dorm. It is not an official recommendation by the dorm management.+There are two laundry rooms (**A-side & B-side**). Both work the same way and have 5 washing machines and 5 dryers.
  
-===== Reported wall paint =====+  * **Washing:** 2 € (~1.5 hours) 
 +  * **Drying:** 1 € (~1.5–2 hours) 
 +  * **Use coins!** Banknotes may cause problems with change.
  
-Residents have reported the following paints:+===== 🧼 How to Wash =====
  
-* **Brillux Intromatt 954**, white / weiß, dull matt / stumpfmatt +  - **⚠️ Check the machine first!** Make sure the rubber door seal is properly in place and not loose or damaged. Otherwise, the laundry room could flood! **Do NOT use a damaged machine!** flag them in the app! 
-* **Prosol Objektweiß ELF**, mentioned several times in resident group chats, possibly especially for Unity Beta+  - **Check the payment terminal:** blinking = machine unlocked, unusable. 
 +  - Put your laundry in the machine and add detergent (see below). 
 +  - Choose a washing program. 
 +  - **Press START → Wait for "ERROR".** 
 +  - Insert **2 €** and select your machine number at the payment terminal. 
 +  - Wait for **0.00 €** (or until the machine unlocks). 
 +  - **Press START again** to begin washing. 
 +  - **📱 Update the Laundry App!** Enter the expected washing time (~1.5 hours) so everyone knows when the machine will be available again: [[https://wash.unitydorm.de/7b4761f3-5f32-4088-8feb-fa6fd8a590a1/|🅰️ A-side]] / [[https://wash.unitydorm.de/fe8dd8a6-1af8-4cbc-8a82-6be0e571781e/|🅱️ B-side]]
  
-The strongest current reference is a photo of a **Brillux Intromatt 954** bucket in white.+**⚠️ IMPORTANT:** Always trigger "ERROR" BEFORE paying, otherwise you might lose your money! Ignore the outdated instructions on the machines. 
 +===== 🧴 How Much Detergent? =====
  
-In general, look for:+  * **Washing powder:** About **4 small shot glasses (2 cl each = 80 ml)** for a normal load. 
 +  * **Liquid detergent:** Check the bottle for the correct amount (usually different from powder). 
 +  * **Where?** Put detergent ONLY in compartment **II**. 
 +  * **Too complicated?** Use **1 laundry pod** (check packaging). Put it directly into the empty drum before adding clothes. 
 +  * **⚠️ NEVER fill the detergent drawer completely!** Too much detergent can damage the machines. 
 +  * **Changed your mind?** Remove any unused detergent!
  
-* white interior wall paint +**⚠️ Dosage varies by product, load size and water hardness. Always check the packaging!**
-* matt or dull matt finish +
-* no glossy or silk-gloss latex paint +
-* ideally wet abrasion class 3 or better+
  
-===== Similar paints at HORNBACH =====+**❌ WRONG – Too much detergent:**
  
-If you cannot get the exact Brillux or Prosol paint, residents may look for similar matt white interior wall paints.+{{:info:img_20261112_131748.jpg?nolink&400|Example of too much detergent}}
  
-Possible HORNBACH alternatives:+**📺 First time washing clothes?** [[https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+use+a+washing+machine+for+beginners|Watch a beginner tutorial on YouTube]].
  
-* **MODULAN 3001 DIN-Objektweiß** — probably the closest practical alternative for larger areas +**⚠️ Our washing machines use a special payment system!** Videos only explain the basics. **Always follow the instructions above for starting and paying!**
-* **MODULAN 3103 Rapid matt white** — higher-quality option with stronger coverage +
-* **HORNBACH Wand- und Deckenfarbe konservierungsmittelfrei weiß** — solid general-purpose option +
-* **HORNBACH Meister Polarweiss Plus** or **Alpinaweiß** — premium white paints, but the shade may be visibly different+

-Avoid:+  - Put your laundry in the dryer and **clean the lint filter**. 
 +  - **Press START → Wait for "ERROR".** 
 +  - Insert **1 €** and select your dryer number at the payment terminal. 
 +  - Wait for **0.00 €**. 
 +  - Choose a program, close the door and **press START again**.
  
-* glossy paint +**⚠️ NEVER open the dryer while it's running!** This ends your session, and you'll have to pay again.
-* silk-gloss latex paint +
-* very cheap low-coverage paint +
-* special mineral/silicate paint unless you know the wall already uses that type of paint+
  
-===== Small marks and stains =====+===== 🧹 Please Keep Things Clean =====
  
-Before repainting, try cleaning first.+  * **Don't block machines:** Set a timer and remove your laundry as soon as it's finished. 
 +  * **Dryers:** Clean the lint filter before and after use. 
 +  * **Trash:** Take your empty bottles, packaging and other large waste with you. 
 +  * **Broken machine?** Don't force it. Try another one.
  
-Suggested order:+===== 📱 Laundry App =====
  
-* Dry microfiber cloth +Check machine availability and help others by keeping the status updated:
-* Slightly damp cloth with a tiny amount of dish soap +
-* White eraser or dirt eraser / magic sponge +
-* Small touch-up paint +
-* Repaint the whole wall if many spots are visible+
  
-Be careful with dirt erasers. They work by light abrasion and can make matt wall paint look brighter, smoother or patchy. Always test in a hidden spot first and do not rub too hard.+  * [[https://wash.unitydorm.de/7b4761f3-5f32-4088-8feb-fa6fd8a590a1/|🅰️ A-side]] 
 +  * [[https://wash.unitydorm.de/fe8dd8a6-1af8-4cbc-8a82-6be0e571781e/|🅱️ B-side]]
  
-===== Small touch-ups =====+More information: [[https://home.unitydorm.de/|UnityDorm Home]]
  
-For very small spots, products like **Molto S.O.S. Easy Wandfarbe weiß matt** can be useful. It has a small roller and is meant for small wall repairs.+===== ℹ️ Good to Know =====
  
-However, touch-ups can still remain visible because white paint changes over time. Even the same color may look different after drying. +  * **Best washing times:** Weekdays. Weekend evenings are usually busy. 
- +  * **Blinking machine:** Temporarily unavailable. Choose another. 
-If there are many spots on one wall, it often looks better to repaint the whole wall from corner to corner instead of touching up many separate points. +  * **"1 minute remaining":** Can sometimes take another 10–15 minutes. 
- +  * **Maintenance (as of 12 November 2026):** Maintenance is currently limited. Please treat the machines carefully to avoid unnecessary damage and costs for everyone. 
-===== Small holes ===== +  * **Repair service:** 089 – 89146920
- +
-For small holes: +
- +
-* Fill the hole with wall filler. +
-* Let it dry completely. +
-* Sand it carefully. +
-* Remove dust. +
-* Paint over it with matt white wall paint. +
- +
-Do not paint directly over open holes, dust or loose material. +
- +
-===== Before moving out ===== +
- +
-If your room is already mostly clean, consider asking the **Hausmeister / caretaker** to take a quick look before repainting everything. +
- +
-In some cases, cleaning or small touch-ups may be enough. Repainting badly can cause more problems than leaving a mostly clean wall as it is. +
- +
-===== Painting tips ===== +
- +
-* Protect the floor, furniture, sockets and window frames. +
-* Use painter's tape for clean edges. +
-* Stir the paint well before using it. +
-* Use thin layers instead of one thick layer. +
-* Keep a wet edge while rolling. +
-* Remove painter's tape before the paint is fully dry. +
-* Let the paint dry completely before judging the color. +
-* Use the same paint and batch for one continuous wall if possible. +
- +

- +
-* Best known paint from current resident information: **Brillux Intromatt 954, white, dull matt** +
-* Another paint mentioned in group chats: **Prosol Objektweiß ELF** +
