Spin & Sparkle Laundromat

This place is nasty! Its dirty. There is always homeless people washing clothes there. Would not recommend. Wash your clothes somewhere else.

This laundromat was very clean compared to the others. It’s conveniently located across the street from a Smith’s Super Market, Gas Station, Big 5, Pizza and a Snow Ski shop. It’s perfect if you need to kill a few birdd with one stone while your clothes is being washed.

So having never lived in a place that didn’t have a washer /​dryer, or at least a laundry room, I didn’t really know what to expect from a laundromat. We were about a week into our road trip, staying at a campground nearby, and I HAD to get some laundry done before moving on to the Grand Canyon for the weekend. Thankfully, the staff here was super super friendly and helpful. They showed me the ropes for the washers and dryers, gave suggestions on how much time I would need to dry, the whole nine yards. I dig that they also offer full service washing /​drying /​folding as well, but this was a budget trip so I decided against that one. They have a change machine inside which is awesome, as well as a vending machine for laundry detergent and fabric softener. Lots of different sized washers for different sized loads, and lots of dryers. We drove by the place several times while we were out and about in Taos, and it didn’t ever look like it was too crowded. I’m sure there are normal busy /​slow times, but I have no idea what those might be. Weekends and evenings maybe? *shrug* Best part of the whole deal? Free wifi and a whole row of chairs in which to chill. I brought in my laptop and used the downtime to research the next leg of our road trip while waiting for our clothes to wash and dry. It was like a little ray of sunshine since our campground not only had no wifi, but no cell phone service either.
