FAQs

Do you need detergent for coin laundry? ›

Laundry detergent is automatically added to the wash load, so all you have to bring with you is your laundry and some cash. Although there are money changers available at these centers, some of the machines do not accept 5,000 yen or 10,000 yen bills, so make sure to bring 100 yen coins with you.

There is a broad range the machines will take depending on the machine you select and the amount of laundry. The average wash cycle takes between 27 - 35 minutes and dryers between 28 - 42 minutes.

In short, the answer is Yes! Simply toss the pod into the drum area before you lock/close the door and you'll be good to go! Be sure to NOT put it in the regular liquid detergent area of the machine as that may cause damage/blockage and result in clothes not getting cleaned correctly.

Don't Leave Clothes in the Washer/Dryer

It's most of the time acceptable for people to leave their clothes washing/drying while they leave the laundromat for a short period of time. Please choose your outing carefully. Set a timer to ensure no time is wasted or you don't forget altogether.

Here's an example to illustrate: Suppose you have a medium-sized load that would fit well in our 40-pound washer, priced at $6 per load. You estimate it would require two drying cycles, totaling 30 minutes, costing $1.50. In this scenario, bringing $7.50 to cover the washer and dryer expenses should suffice.

Laundromats make great cash-flowing investments. With an average, unleveraged return of 20-30%, the average laundromat investment is far superior to the average real estate investment, which will produce between 7-10%.

Afternoon Lull: A Strategic Window for Laundry

Contrary to common belief, opting for a laundromat over owning a washer and dryer can lead to substantial savings in the long run. By avoiding upfront costs, maintenance expenses, and benefiting from the efficiency of commercial-grade machines, individuals can make a financially savvy choice.

Self-service laundromats have developed a reputation for being unhygienic over the years. In reality, they're often much cleaner than your home washer. Ask yourself, when was the last time you cleaned the inside of your washing machine? Here at Liquid Laundromats, we clean ours routinely.

Yes they can deny the use of their dryers. If they allowed people to just dry their clothes they would lose money or have to raise the price to dry. The dryers are more or less there to get people to wash their clothes in their machines. If they didn't offer the dryers people wouldn't wash their clothes there.

The surfactants (or surface active agents) in detergent break up grease, stains, and food residues to disperse them in water. Without a surfactant (your detergent, in this case), your clothing would simply sit in the water and come out close to the same way it went in: dirty.
