TRAVELERS: FIND A LAUNDRY NEAR YOUR VACATION RENTAL

Speed Queen is a century-old brand of American origin. Today at the head of an international network of designer laundries, Speed Queen is for everyone, including travelers who have taken a vacation rental.

Before selecting your holiday apartment, check that it is located close to all amenities: supermarkets, pharmacies, metro, laundries… To improve visitor experience, Speed Queen laundry facilities are often located in the heart of the city, in well-served, commercial neighborhoods.

In this article, you will discover the benefits of washing at a laundromat, the scope of the Speed Queen network and the intuitive operation of its ultramodern machines.

Why do your laundry at a laundromat?

Laundromats enable you to wash up to 20 kg of laundry at once and to dry your clothes in a very short time. A complete washing & drying cycle lasts only an hour. A domestic machine does not dry the clothes and can only wash 5 to 7 kg of laundry in 2 hours. So you save time. During the wash cycle, you can take the time to go for coffee or a stroll in the surrounding area.

If your stay will last several weeks, we recommend that you take a small suitcase and do a washing at a laundry halfway through your stay. You’ll travel lighter and you won’t have to check-in an unnecessary, extra suitcase at the airport.

Another advantage of Speed Queen laundries: value for money. For a modest price (rates are given on our laundry factsheets), you get the best available service on the market: high quality and environmentally friendly washing and drying.

Every year, Speed Queen designs top performance, professional machines, which consume less water and energy.
