washateria
Public washing facility
A washateria is a self-service laundry facility with coin-operated washing machines and dryers—what most Americans call a laundromat.
The term is chiefly Texan and Southern: There's a washateria on the corner where you can do your clothes.
Also spelled washeteria.
