Our apartment laundry is too small to wash comforters, so I've been on the lookout for a decent laundromat in Frederick to take care of that annoying but necessary chore. After a couple fails, I think I've found my (heh) spot.
Spot is a relatively small laundromat, but it's clean and well-kept, with lots of light. It has a good number of washers and dryers, from single load to the "mega" front-loader that was perfect for our king-sized comforter. The machines were all in excellent shape and all in working condition, and I was frankly amazed at how fast the dryer dried our heavy comforter. We put in enough quarters for an hour, but it was done in half the time.
My only complaint about the facility is that I'm used to facilities that have a sink, for pre-treating, or rinsing out your detergent cups, whatever, and this didn't have one. It's a small inconvenience, but I noticed.
The parking lot is also a small one, with other businesses jockeying for space (and spaces marked out as belonging to just their business); however, it's very convenient to have a 7-11 and Mexican cafe right next door, and at the time we were there, the laundromat wasn't too busy, so we had no problems parking right in front.
After a couple truly SCARY laundromats, I'm very happy to find Spot and I'll definitely be less reluctant to get my comforters washed. read more
