A coin laundry, also known as a laundromat, is a self-service facility where people can wash and dry their clothes using commercial-grade machines. Customers typically pay for the use of these machines with coins or tokens, which can be obtained from a change machine on-site. Coin laundries are popular in urban areas where residents may not have access to in-home laundry facilities. These establishments often provide various washing machines and dryers in different sizes to accommodate different loads of laundry. Many coin laundries also offer additional services, such as detergent vending machines, folding tables, and seating areas for customers while they wait for their laundry to finish.
