My washing machine broke and its replacement isn't scheduled to be delivered until March 4 so I needed to trek down to Sunshine to handle two large batches of laundry. My late wife preferred this laundromat to the one by Pah'kes because Sunshine's machines work and the place is kept clean.
I used two triple load machines ($7/load), one for whites, the other for my polos / pants / socks (two weeks worth of laundry). There are three triple load machines and I didn't count how many regular load washers ($3.50/load). My wife used the (what I call a) wringer at the back to remove water from the laundry to decrease the drying time.
There's a bank of dryers, double-stacked, on the right side ... $0.25 for 3 minutes. I took my shirts / pants home to hang dry so I just did the whites and socks and masks ... $3 worth of quarters.
They have change machines and a vending machine that sells soap, etc.
So, the bottom line for me ... I was able to launder everything in about 1.5 hours for $17. This sounds expensive but I guess that would come out to $8-$9/week since I had two weeks worth of laundry. I guess I'll be making one more visit before my new washer arrives.
The best thing? It's open 24hrs ... I went at 5am and there were three other customers. read more
