About Self-service Laundromats

Public laundries are the precursors of modern self-service laundromats, places where the washerwomen of old used to wash clothes with soap, using a wooden board or even a stone. The washerwomen sometimes added ashes and sand to their rudimentary detergent to remove the most resistant smells and stains. The first laundromat was created in Texas in the 1930’s and except during the 50’s when most homes got equipped with their own washers, they kept booming and generating revenue ever since.

Today, self-service laundromats have little in common with laundries of yesterday: washing is no longer a chore, and washing machines have never been more efficient.

Even though most households have a domestic washing machine, the Speed Queen laundromats remain profitable. There are several reasons for this success:

• Some people still don’t have a washing machine, sometimes by deliberate choice.

• Some items, such as duvet, pillows, carpets, etc… can only be washed in a laundromat.

• Washing your laundry in the laundromat saves time and money: in just one hour, you can wash 20 kg of laundry, at a professional level.
