A coin-operated laundromat is a self-service facility where customers can wash and dry their clothes using machines that require coins or tokens for operation. These laundromats typically offer various sizes of washing machines and dryers to accommodate different laundry loads. Customers can bring their own detergent or purchase it on-site. Most coin-operated laundromats are open to the public and provide a convenient solution for those without in-home laundry facilities. They often feature seating areas, folding tables, and vending machines for snacks and drinks, making the laundry experience more comfortable and efficient.
