<span class="s1">Every time you buy credits, you receive a code. On the website oih.ac, on the right side, you will find "Account" where you can find the "Redeem" section. There, you enter the code and click on the button on the right to confirm it. After that, you can check your balance to see if it worked.</span>

<span class="s1">To buy credits you can contact the person in charge via WhatsApp </span>

<span class="s1">A washing appointment costs 60 credits and lasts 2 hours and 40 minutes. You can book the appointment through the website (oih.ac). There are two washing machines: a green one on the right and a blue one in the middle. The dryers are free to use and can be used up to an hour after your appointment ends. To activate the washing machine, you can do it directly from the website oih.ac using your phone ‚Activate‘</span>

<span class="s1">"Activate for one minute" means that after your appointment ends, the washing machine door cannot be opened to take out your clothes. You can click "Activate for one minute" without waiting for the next person's appointment. If you face any issues with the washing machine, you can contact one of the washag. </span>

<span class="s1">The washing and printing rooms are located in the basement.</span>
