• Laundry 

  Welcome to Tiger Wash

  Tiger Wash is Housing and Greek Life's new system to provide free laundry service in all its residence halls, apartment communities, and University-owned Greek houses.  To use the free laundry service it is important to know a few things:
  

  1) Each resident has a TigerWash credit limit of $25 for the semester.  This credit limit costs you nothing and is already loaded on your PacificCard^TM. Each wash and dry registers as $.25 each and this amount will count towards your $25 Tiger Wash credit limit. 
  2) To use your Tiger Wash account just select the machine you would like to use by letter + number designation and swipe your card to pay with Tiger Wash and engage the washing machine then follow the same process to use the dryer - it's that easy.   
     
  Tiger Wash is set up as a credit line account, separate from your PacificCash^TM and Meal Plan, to allow you to do free laundry and ensure that those using the machines are actual on-campus residents.  You can view your Tiger Wash balance and activity at www.mypacificcard.com or on the PacificCard^TM mobile app.
