Reactivate the MachineĪnother method involves paying once and then turning the machine back on multiple times. It involves tipping “all the coin pins” using a coffee stir straw. This method is mentioned as more complicated and time-consuming. In some older laundry machines with sliding slots, you can use coffee stir sticks (the straw kind) to slide them through the coin slots and get free laundry. Some users suggest that it’s possible to use plastic straws instead of fake quarters for laundry. This trick mostly works on juice machines.
Some washers will add a quarter’s worth to the amount you put in but also return the coin to the change box.
