Coin Laundry

People who wash their clothes at Coin Laundry keep coming back for one main reason: the place is kept clean and the machines run right. Ask anyone who does laundry here and they'll tell you the same thing, that the washers and dryers are in good working shape and there are plenty of them in a range of sizes. That last part matters. Regulars swear by the really large machines when they've got comforters, bedding, or a big pile of towels to get through, and even on a busy afternoon folks say the wait rarely drags out because there are so many machines to go around.

An attendant is usually on the floor, and locals speak well of the women who keep the place running. One newcomer told us the worker walked her through the whole process since she was new to the area, kept an eye on things so kids weren't running around the equipment, and was genuinely friendly on top of it. That kind of hands-on help is a big part of why this Midland laundromat has earned such a good name around town. Payment works on a card system: you buy a laundry card from the machine and load it with cash or a credit or debit card, and the prices are posted right next to it so you can put on the right amount.

Plenty of regulars love not lugging around a pile of quarters, and the fact that it takes card is a real plus for a lot of people. Fair warning we've heard more than once, though: it's easy to leave a little money stranded on the card, so try not to overload it. There are also folding tables and baskets on hand, plus certain machines set aside for work clothes. If you'd rather hand it off, they run drop-off wash-and-fold along with pickup and delivery.

The doors are open early and late every day, which suits the weekly-load crowd. Opinions aren't unanimous, and you'll hear the occasional grumble about a machine out of order, but the word around Midland is that this is one of the better-kept laundromats in town.
