Green Machine

I have put painstaking efforts into not using a laundromat. I’ve driven over half an hour out of my way to my mother’s house to use her facilities, despite the fact that I used to have a laundry machine and dryer in the basement of my builing… which isn’t completely unrealistic because like most residential building community facilities, they were super overpriced and seldom worked correctly. The few times I used them, I spend a minimum of $ 3 on drying alone because at 6 minutes per quarter and a faulty machine, it took well over an hour to get to the level of light dampness that i was ok putting it in my drawer to finish drying and get wrinkled.
Anyway, that story barely applies to laundromats, but now that I’ve moved to a building with no laundry facilities at all, and a further drive to my mothers, and an emergency laundry situation (going out of town TONIGHT, with no clean underwear as of YESTERDAY), and a laundromat in walking distance, it was time… again. This was my second go-​round at Green Machine, and despite my previous painstaking efforts, not my first rodeo with Laundromats at all, but Green Machine stands above all my previous efforts, including the faulty machines in my old building, and (sorry mom!) my mom’s home facilities.
Green Machine features three sizes of washers, ranging from $ 3.50-$ 5.50 per load, and as a non-​seperator, this was perfect for getting all my stuff done at once. But, where Green Machine REALLY shines is their dryers: an unprecedented EIGHT MINUTES per quarter kept my wash to about $ 6.50, and their dryers are so effective I didn’t need my full 56 minutes, even though I had two pairs of jeans AND a towel in that piece, along with about a months worth of shirts, underwear and socks.
Best of all, it’s less than 5 minutes walking from my apartment, and in a neighborhood in which I don’t mind leaving all my stuff. You know how I spent my time doing laundry? Playing PS3. That’s a 5 star experience!
