We'll Wash Laundromat - Shiloh Dr.

We'll Wash Laundromat on Shiloh Drive has been part of Laredo since 2005, and ask anyone who washes here and they'll tell you it's one of the cleaner, better-run spots in town. Clean and well maintained is the thing people mention first, with machines that mostly do their job. You'll hear the occasional grumble about a few washers being out of order or one not smelling its freshest, but there are so many machines here that regulars rarely wait long, even on a busy day. That machine count is a big reason folks keep coming back. There are washers in every size, including the big ones that swallow comforters, blankets, and heavy family loads, plus a wall of dryers.

If you're short on supplies, they sell detergent, softener, bleach, and dryer sheets right there at fair prices. Bring quarters or cash, since this is a coin operation with change machines on site, and if you're out of bills the counter can help you get cash for the machines. There's no ATM, so plan ahead. The staff earns a lot of the goodwill here. The ladies working the floor are known for being friendly and genuinely helpful, and there's a resident cat that's become something of a local mascot.

They also run wash-and-fold drop-off service, along with pickup and delivery, which is handy if you'd rather not spend the afternoon here. One thing to know: the attendants primarily speak Spanish, so if your laundry needs special handling, it helps to sort out the details clearly before leaving it. Truckers have made this a regular stop, thanks to the bobtail parking spots out front and restaurants within walking distance. The word around Laredo is to get here early, because it fills up fast after the doors open and gets crowded again after five in the evening. They keep daytime-into-evening hours seven days a week, though posted times aren't always reliable, so it's worth a quick call before you make a special trip.

One longtime regular summed it up plainly, calling it the best place in Texas for your laundry. That's high praise, and around here plenty of people agree.
