I needed a laundromat to wash my large comforters, and I found the Family Laundry Center on Google. There were a ton of great reviews, so I decided to give them a try. The location is in a plaza attached to a Sally's Beauty Supply store, Kumon, and a taco restaurant (yum!), and nearby Jewel. The address on their website states 2424 Rt. 30, but their address at the location is 2428. They are brightly lit, have a couple of flat screen tv's, a cute little kid area along with the following: pinball tables, prize claw machine, a racing arcade game, 2 desks (my guess is for homework), and a coin operated kiddie ride, folding tables with a garbage can under each of the tables, free WiFi, drop/pick up services, a table with a few magazines, and vending machines. They offer different size washers depending on the laundry size. For example, there are roughly half a dozen of 1-2 regular size top load washers and the rest are 3+ regular size front load washers. I had 3 large comforters to wash so I decided to throw them in each a separate 3 regular size front load washer. On each of the top load washers, there's a sign stating that comforters and rugs are not allowed in the top load washers. For a 1 3 load regular size laundry, it cost $3.95 for 30 minutes. As for the dryers, there's a large size dryer that could probably handle 1-2 loads at a time and it's $.50 per 10 minutes on high heat. However, there's a few giant dryers that could probably handle 3 regular size load laundry. I dried each of the comforters separately in each a large dryer and it cost me about $1 each for them to be 90% dry. On the website, they offer free laundry detergent, but I brought my own because I wasn't sure prior to coming here. They also offer drop off and pick up services. You can drop off your laundry and pick it up sometime later all washed, dried, folded, and neatly placed in a provided laundry bag. I didn't mind hanging around while washing and drying my laundry. I love the smell of clean laundry. The owners were very nice and helpful. For the machines, they have a reloadable card system. Unfortunately, it only takes bills, not even change which was a bummer because I had my little coin purse ready to be used. They will take card at the register and give you change. However, there is a 5/3 bank right across the street, too, and I know there's a bank inside the Jewel just a few feet over. TL; DR: a local family owned clean and brightly lit laundromat that you can either stay and do laundry or drop/pick up. Reasonable prices, a cute kids play area, and tacos next door. What's more to ask for. I highly recommend Family Laundry Center to friends and family. read more

The laundry soap dispensers for washing machines don't get cleaned out. Visible mold growing inside them. Dust on everything. Washing powder on most surfaces. I don't think the ceiling fans have ever been cleaned. Floor is always sticky. The 24 hour joint with zero attendants working there has cleaner facilities. read more

I brought four comforters there to wash in the machines. The woman at the counter was very helpful and made suggestions on which washers to use to get the lowest cost. I was able to charge a set amount on a credit card and get a refund on whatever I did not use. The washers i used were 6.75 each. I fit a twin and a double in one of them and then washed a double and queen separately in 2 other washers. There is a larger size for $8.75 but I did not want to mix the colors/comforters. Dryers were 50 cents for 10 minutes. They do have soap you can use on site. The place was clean. I will go there again the next time I need a laundromat. read more

Went here for the first time and would definitely go back. The place was clean and all the machines worked well (only used the dryers). Dryer heat settings were true and the cost was reasonable ($.50 for every 10 minutes). Like another reviewer stated, they have a machine that you put cash money on a card and then use the card for the machines. Wish they would accept debit/credit cards but not enough of a hindrance to reduce rating to 4 stars. read more

This business is always clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. I never have waited for a washer or a dryer
