2026 WASH Spring Service School & Open House

 May 14th was the date of the Spring Service School and Open House for Milwaukee WASH branch.
Over 40 laundromat owners and managers were in attendance over the course of the morning and afternoon. Attendees learned tips on maintaining their dryers and washers, how to keep their changers up to date or modified to new standards, and the latest in non coin payment methods.
Lunch was provided by Qdoba and there was snacks, drinks, and several raffle prizes.
Price discounts on new equipment and rebates from Huebsch were also available.
Those in attendance were also treated to some great laundromat jokes and entertaining emcee features by myself! That was worth the price of admission (free)! Comments were positive all around so we hope you can join us again at the next event. I'll try to have more laundry jokes if I'm asked to emcee again or if the public demands it...
