Albany Park Coin Laundry

I have been using this laundromat for about 5 months and think it’s great. The couple who own it do a good job of maintaining the machines and keeping the place clean. The machines and driers are all very efficient and it’s not one of those places where regulars know the «better» driers. Cost is fair for the quality of cleaning done. Expect to pay about $ 2.50 per load for washing and $ 0.75-$ 1.50 for drying (obviously depending on what you are trying to dry). There is a drop-​off service but I understand it’s a 24 hour turn around (approx $ 0.90 per pound, min 10lbs). There’s also vending machines, coin machine (accepts: $ 20/​$ 10/​$ 5/​$ 1 notes) & plenty of chairs. Sorting/​folding tables have enough space for about 14 households at a time and I’ve never seen it used to capacity. That being said it can get really busy/​noisy between 3pm-​8pm as most people bring their kids who run around and more than once I’ve had kids crash into my legs or trip over me when I’m loading a drier. I prefer to come 8am– 10am as it’s much quieter so I can read a book or listen to music peacefully while doing this chore! :)
