Product information

The Stactiles Washing sheet is the ultimate to make your washing machine accessible. Modern washing machines and dryers are increasingly difficult to navigate because of sleek, flat touchscreens and identical buttons that offer no physical feedback. These specialized tactile stickers serve as a professional-grade alternative to traditional bump dots, transforming any appliance into an accessible interface for blind and visually impaired users.

Instead of generic round dots, this set provides 24 intuitive icons that communicate specific functions by touch. You can easily identify temperature controls through raised thermometers and snowflakes, or select the correct fabric setting with the woolly sheep and eco-friendly leaf icons. It also includes water level indicators and essential power and pause controls, ensuring you never have to guess which cycle you are starting.

Laundry rooms are high-moisture environments that often cause standard adhesive aids to peel. Stactiles are engineered for the long haul. They are fully waterproof, steam-resistant, and can withstand stray drops of detergent. The industrial-strength adhesive ensures they remain firmly attached to glass or plastic surfaces, while the sharp, multi-layer UV-embossing remains crisp and feelable through years of heavy use. It is more than just a blind aid; it is a durable, high-contrast system that makes home maintenance truly inclusive.

FAQs

Why are Stactiles often out of stock?

Stactiles require a complex production process that can take up to 7 hours per sheet, which limits how fast we can produce them. Because of this, keeping up with demand can be challenging. We're constantly producing new batches and doing our best to keep Stactiles available for everyone.

Can Stactiles be safely used on cookware or near ovens?

Stactiles generally tolerate heat well and can be used around kitchen appliances. They do well with stainless steel and glassware.

Can Stactiles go through the dishwasher?

Stactiles™ show good resistance to heat, moisture and detergent, remaining attached through several dishwasher cycles. Adhesion may vary depending on placement, surface texture and washing conditions.

Will Stactiles stick on curved or uneven surfaces?

They adhere best to flat or gently curved surfaces. On very smooth plastic surfaces or rounded materials, the edges may begin to lift or peel over time.

How do Stactiles perform in humid environments?

Stactiles generally maintain their shape and adhesion in humid or misty conditions. Extended exposure to moisture may still weaken the adhesive depending on the surface.

Who can use Stactiles?

They are created for people who are blind or have low vision, as well as for inclusive designers, educators and caregivers who wish to make spaces more accessible.

How do Stactiles work?

Each sticker features a raised tactile pattern representing a specific object or function. They can be placed on items such as kitchen appliances, containers, switches or tools to make them identifiable by touch.

Do Stactiles fade or wear off over time?

They are made from durable materials that resist fading and smudging under everyday use. As with any label, longevity will depend on handling, surface type and environmental conditions.
