The best time to do laundry at a laundromat is typical during the weekdays when there are less people using the facility. Weekends tend to be the busiest times at laundromats, so doing your laundry during the week can help you avoid long wait times for washers and dryers.

Laundromats are often busiest in the morning. Avoid the crowds and fierce fights over machines by heading to the laundromat in the afternoon or evening.

A great laundromat location is on a main roadway, highly visible, and has plenty of parking with easy access. Also take note of the surrounding businesses and what type of clientele they draw in. Grocery, convenience, auto parts, and check cashing stores make excellent neighbors for laundromats.

A 2020 study showed that the coin-operated laundry industry was a $14.6 billion industry in 2019, with the largest share of that being in North America. And not only is that a massive industry already, but it was projected to grow at a whopping 9.4% between 2020 and 2027.
