PayRange App Payment System

The washers and dryers are equipped with PayRange, a laundry payment app system. You can download the app from either the Apple App Store or Google Play App Store.

Once the app is downloaded, you can register to use, and pay for their washing and drying cycles, and the vend price is deducted from a mobile wallet that is reloadable, and tied to a credit card on file through the app.

When Tenant’s laundry is done washing or drying, the PayRange app will notify Tenant through push notifications sent to their mobile device.

The first load of laundry is free for every Tenant who uses the PayRange app.

Why should I use the PayRange mobile app?

Management is staying ahead of the innovation curve by offering the ability to pay with an app, mobile device, etc.  

The PayRange app enables you to:

• Load funds to your PayRange account quickly and easily using any major credit or debit card, anytime and anywhere. 
• Choose how much or how little you load onto your PayRange account, either manually or with the convenient auto-reload option.
• Check your previous transactions and account balance anytime to make sure your laundry budget is on track each month. 
• See how much time is left on your laundry cycle, and receive a text message when your laundry is almost done. 
• Take advantage of special offers such a free wash promotion when you download the app, as well as future loyalty programs.
• And, even though the machines take quarters, as well, the app reduces the need to carry quarters with you to do your laundry.

How do I use the PayRange app?

1. Download the app for free to your smartphone or tablet from the App Store, Google Play, or visit the PayRange website.  
2. Add funds to your PayRange account by selecting your preferred payment method and amount. You can also set it to autoload if you wish.
3. Nearby machines will be listed. Select the machine you would like to use, making sure it’s not already in use.
4. To redeem your free wash, click Special Offers, select the free wash offer then Use this offer.
5. Swipe and the payment will be sent to the machine. You will see the confirmation on your screen, you will hear the machine beep several times as if numerous quarters were put into it, and the machine will start automatically once the payment is complete. 

What if I don’t have a smartphone or tablet?

The laundry machines also accept quarters so the choice is yours.

Do I need a data plan on my device to use the app?

The PayRange app requires an Internet connection to work, just like your other web-based apps. There is Wi-Fi in the Community Laundry Room; however, if the Internet is down, and there is no Wi-Fi in the Community Laundry Room, you will need a cell signal and a data plan to connect to the equipment. The app requires very little data to function.

How does PayRange keep my information safe?

PayRange has an industry-leading security infrastructure. It does not view, pass-through, or store card data, and card data is never shared with King & Queen Apartments or Management. To learn more about how PayRange protects you, visit www.payrange.com/security.

Laundry Tips*

Review these tips for getting the best results from our laundry equipment.

Check your labels

Read the labels so you know if there are any special washing or drying instructions.

Sort your laundry

Separate whites from your dark/bright items so the colors don’t transfer. You may want to sort based on fabric type. For example, wash towels separately so they don’t transfer lint to your clothes.

Empty your pockets

Sharp items, pens, and even tissues can cause problems to your laundry, so check your pockets before washing. You also don’t want to lose or destroy that misplaced $20 bill or important receipt!

Pretreat stains

Treating a stain before washing and drying will increase the chances of removing it. Once the stain has been through a washing and drying cycle, the stain may be set for good. 

Have your payment ready

If using quarters, be sure you have the correct change before you go to the laundry room. Or, download the free PayRange app so you never have to worry about coins.

Choose the right machine options for your load

Hot water works best for whites, cottons, and linens. Cold water is best for dark or bright colors. Your washer may have the option to add time, or to choose a longer setting, for heavily soiled loads to give your laundry the extra cleaning it needs.

Load clothes first, then start the machine.

Once a machine’s cycle is started the timer will continue to run even if the machine has not been loaded with clothes.

Do not put clothes or material in machines with hazardous substances on them

Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Do not add the following substances or textiles containing traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry-cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners or other flammable or explosive substances. These substances give off vapors that could ignite, explode, or cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.

Don’t overload the machine

If you cram too much into the washer, it will neither clean your clothes nor rinse them properly. And, if you put too many clothes into the dryer, it won’t dry them. Typically, one wash load equals one dry load. Make sure you put your clothes into the washer and the dryer loosely so the laundry can move around.

Washer: Maximum dry clothes load: 21 lbs.
Dryer: Maximum dry clothes load: 18 lbs.

Detergent: Use the proper location & recommended amount

Use high-efficiency (HE) rated detergent ONLY. If you are using powder or liquid detergent or bleach, use the detergent tray at the front of the washer. Detergent sheet and packets/pods should be put directly into the washer with the clothes. Whether you use a powder, liquid, sheet, or packet/pod-type detergent, use the manufacturer’s recommended amount. Too much detergent won’t rinse and too little won’t clean.

Leave the washer doors open after using them

After the washer has finished washing your clothes, and you have removed all your clothes from the washer, please leave the door open instead of closing it — yes, even if you’re not going to use it again. The fresh air will cause any remaining water to evaporate faster. This will help the washer stay dry and mold-free.

Clean the lint filter

It’s important to check the dryer’s lint filter before and after each use, and clean it for proper air flow. A dryer with a clogged filter won’t dry effectively and it could cause a safety hazard. Clean the lint filter after you use the dryer. Throw away the lint into the trash can.

Fold dry laundry promptly

Remove laundry from the dryer and fold it as quickly as possible to reduce wrinkles.
