I needed a laundromat to wash my large comforters, and I found the Family Laundry Center on Google…read more There were a ton of great reviews, so I decided to give them a try.
The location is in a plaza attached to a Sally's Beauty Supply store, Kumon, and a taco restaurant (yum!), and nearby Jewel. The address on their website states 2424 Rt. 30, but their address at the location is 2428. They are brightly lit, have a couple of flat screen tv's, a cute little kid area along with the following: pinball tables, prize claw machine, a racing arcade game, 2 desks (my guess is for homework), and a coin operated kiddie ride, folding tables with a garbage can under each of the tables, free WiFi, drop/pick up services, a table with a few magazines, and vending machines.
They offer different size washers depending on the laundry size. For example, there are roughly half a dozen of 1-2 regular size top load washers and the rest are 3+ regular size front load washers. I had 3 large comforters to wash so I decided to throw them in each a separate 3 regular size front load washer. On each of the top load washers, there's a sign stating that comforters and rugs are not allowed in the top load washers.
For a 1 3 load regular size laundry, it cost $3.95 for 30 minutes. As for the dryers, there's a large size dryer that could probably handle 1-2 loads at a time and it's $.50 per 10 minutes on high heat. However, there's a few giant dryers that could probably handle 3 regular size load laundry. I dried each of the comforters separately in each a large dryer and it cost me about $1 each for them to be 90% dry.
On the website, they offer free laundry detergent, but I brought my own because I wasn't sure prior to coming here.
They also offer drop off and pick up services. You can drop off your laundry and pick it up sometime later all washed, dried, folded, and neatly placed in a provided laundry bag. I didn't mind hanging around while washing and drying my laundry. I love the smell of clean laundry.
The owners were very nice and helpful. For the machines, they have a reloadable card system. Unfortunately, it only takes bills, not even change which was a bummer because I had my little coin purse ready to be used. They will take card at the register and give you change. However, there is a 5/3 bank right across the street, too, and I know there's a bank inside the Jewel just a few feet over.
TL; DR: a local family owned clean and brightly lit laundromat that you can either stay and do laundry or drop/pick up. Reasonable prices, a cute kids play area, and tacos next door. What's more to ask for. I highly recommend Family Laundry Center to friends and family.
