Easy Coin Laundry

I was coming here to wash my clothes often. The owner is often rude. Do not go here.

I’ve been here twice and it was an odd experience. The staff person, both times, shouted from his desk in the back «Don’t use that one! Use that one!» and then came out to direct me which machine to use (of two identical dryers.) I’m not sure why I can’t just use whatever machine is closest, but this happened continually. He also tried to tell me to use a quadruple-​load dryer for a handful of microfiber cloths, but then grudgingly let me use the single-​load dryer I wanted to in the beginning.
I never saw him clean the machines; the lint filters were full. This would be an okay place to do laundry but with the random fussiness over telling me which machines to use, I’ll go somewhere else.

This laundry mat is excellent, so many washers/​dryers. And even double load washers which is a bonus! You can get all your laundry done in approx an hour. I don’t use my apartment buildings washer or dryers I always come here! They even have drop off service! It’s the same person there all the time, the owner? He is friendly. It’s clean and has great hours!

Some people hate laundromats. I’ve always had a romantic notion of them. Who knows who you could meet while you’re changing loads or folding your dry underwear? Unfortunately, I’ve never had a life-​changing laundromat experience, but they’ve always been pleasant, if a tad dull. This was always my favourite laundromat. In fact, I had a washer and dryer in the apartment building I lived in and still came here to do my laundry. Why? There are tons of machines, so as long as it’s not busy, which it rarely seemed to be, you can get four loads going at once and we outta there and onto better things in under two hours. There’s a change machine, but come equipped with a bag of quarters just in case. It didn’t accept my crinkled bills once. You can buy small boxes of detergent, and there are a couple of chairs at the back to sit at. It gets pretty stuffy in here, but on a cold Edmonton night, I never minded much. It’s a good chance to catch up on some reading, as no one usually comes in, and if they do they tend to keep to their own business. Not very romantic, rather utilitarian, in fact. But I guess that’s what a laundromat outta be.
