I had a sump pump fail and I was out of town. I sorted and tossed much of the wet stuff, but kept a few loads to wash. I used the very large Texas wash with bleach and laundry soap. These big machines were thorough with longer, hotter cycles for an excellent and fresh result (than a home machine). I liked the efficiency of doing multiple loads at a time in both washing and drying so the entire process was a shorter time than it would been if I had done it one load at a time in a non-commercial machine at home. The big machines offered an excellent value in money and time with a quality result. I will use a laundromat again for bulky things or when I have an abundance of laundry. read more
