| - Hey - excited to type this review!
I've just come back from starting a wash cycle there. (Yes, I did trust the idea of leaving my laundry there, unsupervised).
It wasn't so busy, perhaps because today's a holiday and others weren't sure if the place was open or not. Only one other person was there, and he kindly schooled me on what I'm going to share in this review.
There are 3 sizes of washing machines: small (about 4 of them?; around $3.50?/load), medium (about 3; around $4.50/load), and large (about 2; $5.75/load - have 5 loonies and 3 quarters, if possible).
I went there since we have this queen sized blanket that thought our washing machine size was a joke.
Go prepared with your own detergent, or purchase a small box of dt from the back of the laundromat (une laverie, en francais), for $1.
Bring also lots of change, although if you're lacking in what you need, visit the change machine also in the back of the laundromat.
I saw some magazine there, to keep you company for a bit if you don't have anything handheld on you. Or no new interesting company to bond lightly with.
I was told to be back within 30 min. These large industrial machines run more efficiently than what we now have at home; a typical small cycle takes about 54 min.
I have no problems with being back, so that I don't clog or hog any of their machines. I'd rather be able to leave than sit there rather idly. Would be different if I had some paperwork to do...
Yes, I'd be back.
Yes, I'd recommend this place to anyone who is not too far away.
I don't know how much they'd charge for wash & fold. Nobody was there on this civic holiday.
However, I am way excited to finally, finally be laundering an oversized blanket that was never previously laundered. I feel like a new world has been opened up - I can now launder bulky items rather than spot clean or perhaps beat the blanket outside to get rid of dusty build-up.
