Clean As A Whistle

Ok so I have been a regular customer here for a good six months and have always loved it. Free wifi, reasonably priced washers and dryers. Can’t ask much more of a laundromat.
That being said, I had to do my laundry late one night because I got off work late and had to work early in the morning. They have a sign posted that says «last load in by 10pm» and my last load was in by 9:30, but their change machines weren’t working and by the time I got change for the washer it was 10:01. That’s when a washer that costs $ 2.25 normally shot up to $ 9.75. I didn’t have a choice because I had already added the detergent and all of my work clothes were in there. Needless to say I was infuriated and if I had a choice I would not give them any more business.

Desperately running out of clothes, I finally could not wait to do laundry any longer. My friend recommended this laundromat to me saying that it was one of the better if not best one she had been to in the campus area.
I decided to do my laundry here around 2pm on a Friday afternoon, and I easily found parking close to the door. It was relatively empty with about 7 other customers so there were plenty of machines available. The room was well lit with florescent lighting and large windows, but it slightly warm because of the dryers, and I’m pretty sure there isn’t AC. There were also a significant number of flies swarming around the trash cans.
The facilities feature some arcade games, plenty of tables and chairs, a change machine for quarters, a soda vending machine, and laundry detergent vending machine. There is also a gas station across the parking lot if you needed something else. I’ll admit I didn’t try out the game machine because I brought a book to read, but I’m pretty sure it was a Pac-​man game.
It was easy for me to find open machines to use. The washers available that I saw were high energy efficient front loading washers, and apparently, detergents designed for those machines work best. I simply used whatever I had, and my clothes were clean. It was $ 2.00 to wash, and $ 2.25 for the super wash, which offered a few extra minutes of washing time. For a normal wash, it took about 36 minutes.
The dryers were mostly free, although one girl overstuffed her dryers so much they would pop open, and her clothes would tumble out the dryer. I think quarters bought 12 minutes drying time, and dimes bought 4 minutes. I don’t have a lot of clothes so I easily dried 5 pairs of jeans in one dryer for 28 minutes, and half a load of shirts and underwear for 20 minutes. There are folding tables conveniently located close to the dryers.
Some people felt safe enough turning on the dryers and leaving their clothes including the girl who’s laundry kept tumbling out of the dryers. My clothes aren’t particularly valuable, but I like having clothes to wear. To each to their own. I would definitely come back here again to do laundry.
