Coin Laundromats in 2013

So your washer went out on you . . .  What to expect at the coin laundromat in 2013?

1) Full service is $1.00 per pound where the operators wash, dry, and fold for you.  Before 2pm dropoff can pickup the same day.

2) Self service  has a wide range of machine sizes.  The $3.00 washing machines hold about 9 lbs of clothes, and it is a 22 minutes cycle.  Dryers are 6 minutes for $.25 (twenty-five cents).  36  to 42 minutes  which is 6 to 7 quarters is usually a good drying time.  If you have a dryer at home, 30 minutes knocks most of the moisture out of the clothes where you can finish drying them at home.

Full service comparison:  17-18 pounds of clothes at $17 to $18 would take two self service loads which is $6 total for washing and $3.00 for drying totalling $9.  So self-service is about half the price of full service.

Well, do not forget your detergent, fabric softener, and something to work on if you are doing self-service.
