On the surface a laundromat is a laundromat. Same bland white walls, same rows of washing machines and dryers lined up. But this one is in a fairly ritzy suburb and it only costs $ 2.20 per load. Add 20 cents for a cup of detergent or BYO laundry powder and you’re laughing. The industrial size dryers are also comparitively cheap — it costs me $ 4 for half an hour drying time, which easily delivers a large load warm and toasty dry. The laundromat is always kept shiny and clean(by name, by nature) and I have no hesitation in nipping off while my clothes wash or dry without fear my precious garments will be stolen. As an added bonus there is the wall of posters advertising upcoming shows, perfect for staring mindlessly at as you wait for your rinse cycle to finish. There are also more gossip magazines than you can poke a stick at. The only downside is there are no change machines on site so make sure you stock up on your dollar coins before giving it a whirl. In a nutshell — I feel so clean!
