Candy’s Layton Heights Laundromat

The machine are fantastic, the inside is SO much cleaner than most laundry mats. The owners must have stepped out so we didn’t get to experience them, but we had no problems the entire time we were there. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Stopped in for the first time today. Exactly what I was looking for cheap clean very nice place overall can’t complain.

Pregnancy (huh, what’s this have to do with a laundromat?) can be a challenging time, bringing about unusual imbalances in the body, etc. We were trying to deal with a problem that an allergist suggested «could possibly» be due to dust mites, and as part of our remediation process, we found ourselves wanting to wash our bedding in hotter-​than-​usual water. 140 degree water is thought to be sufficient to kill dust mites. However, with kids, our home hot water supply is substantially cooler than that, and we weren’t going to putter with it. So we figured on a laundromat. And we started calling around.
Interestingly, most laundromats either have no idea how hot their hot water is, or they will say that they keep it cooler than this in order to «save energy» (I would have thought washing in cold or warm water would do that). Candy’s replied — without having to «check with someone» — that their water was definitely at least 140.
Got there, and it’s a completely unremarkable-​looking storefront next to a few others. Nice large parking lot. We walked in and the gal was locking up the counter, which apparently closes around dinnertime. Still, she stopped to chat with us for a bit, suggested a washer size to use (I tend to overestimate), and we found out that the hot water question was fairly common due to the proximity to Alverno’s school of Nursing.
The location looked kind of 70’s-ish, definitely old, but was very well kept, neat, and while we were there, someone came in and began repairing a dryer near us. Everything looked like it was well-​maintained, took coins easily, and most importantly, worked well.

Okay, I have to admit that this place looks kinda old & tired from the outside. However, I stopped there a few weeks back to do a quick batch of laundry before going out of town, and was PLEASANTLY surprised!
The inside is VERY clean and tidy. The washing machines and dryers work amazingly well and are fairly new. The prices are typical for a laundromat.
There’s also a counter area where you can drop off laundry or dry cleaning. Additionally, behind the counter, is the most amazing selection of candy, including «nickel candy».
The woman behind the counter was also very friendly… even with the kids who came in to buy candy.
