| - My stupid condo complex has, count 'em, ONE washing machine and ONE dryer for sixteen units. Awesome. So when I have a lot of laundry to do, including rugs, bedspreads, and towels, it's off to the *shudder* laundromat. I have many supremely ghetto options in my neck of the woods (central Phoenix), but I voluntarily drive all the way to Tempe to Eco Laundry.
This recently renovated laundromat is surprisingly not ghetto, for a laundromat. You still have your random screaming children with their equally poorly behaved parents, but the place is open, spacious, airy, and sparkling clean. The decor is sleekly IKEA-esque, with clean concrete floors. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and it's pretty mellow and quiet (again, minus the stray stupid kid). Since everything is new, *all* the machines actually - wait for it - FUNCTION. The prices are comparable other facilities, $1.25 for a small washing machine, $2.25 for the 2-loaders, $3.25 for the 3-loaders... and it goes up to 6-load capacity machines. Oh yeah, and free wi-fi! And free coffee! Very nice touches.
They also have laundry services here, where you drop it off and the staff does it for you. Since I am a laundry control freak, I have not partaken in this service and can't vouch for its value, but it's nice to know it's available.
