coin laundries

Self-service washing facilities

Coin laundries are self-service laundry facilities where customers use coin-operated washing machines and dryers.

Also called laundromats or washateiras.

The machines typically require quarters, though many now accept cards or apps: The coin laundry down the street is open twenty-four hours.
