A laundromat is a self-service facility where people can wash and dry their clothes using commercial washing machines and dryers. Customers typically bring their own laundry, purchase detergent from vending machines, and operate the machines themselves. Laundromats are often found in urban areas, making them convenient for those without in-home laundry facilities. These establishments usually offer various machine sizes to accommodate different loads, from small to large. Some laundromats also provide additional services, such as dry cleaning or folding, and may have amenities like Wi-Fi or seating areas for customers while they wait.
