Grab some change so you can change!
OK, OK, yes, bring all your loose change- nickels, dimes, and quarters. There is a change machine there, though. Try to get a person with a small hand to get all the change in your car. You will be surprised at how much can be found.
There is a bathroom. But mine was a minute away, so I didn't view it.
The washing machines' drums need to be cleaned. The place just needs a general cleaning. Every time I dropped an air-dry garment on the floor, I cringed. The floor needs cleaning. Just once a week would be fine.
The machines offer a good variety of washing and drying options. Lovers of J. Crew and Hanes can unite here. Pick your cycle and mingle. Or just come back later if your place is close by.
There is also a machine that gives you small boxes of detergent and fabric softener. After you feed it money, of course. You can also pick up the free Charleston version of "City Paper" at this laundromat.
I was very excited to see the laundromat with my younger daughter in tow. She put the money and detergent in, and then got bored and asked to leave. "Sailor Moon" was beckoning to her. So much for cozy bonding.
There is something seductive about laundromats late at night. You feel mildy edgy and urban. The lulling noise, the warmth from the dryers, and the lighting that is neither cold nor warm insulate you. You feel like a secret.
Then the dryer stops, and you have to fold your husband's underwear back at home.
Customers peak at threeish to fourish pm. Go at ten pm.
Tips from Amy:
-Fabric softener weakens clothes.
-Drying sets stains.
-Air-dry H&M clothing.
-Powder detergent is better and more economical.
-Trapped sand in bikini bottoms will not wash out, no matter how many times you try. You have to cut a small hole in the lining and shake the sand out. read more
