How we collected these prices
In October 2026 we read the websites of the laundromats in our directory and looked for prices per pound. For each laundromat we kept its standard wash and fold (drop-off) price and, when listed, its pickup and delivery price. We left out promotions, first-order deals and prices for comforters or dry cleaning.
“Middle half” is the range between the 25th and 75th percentile of posted prices: half of the prices fall inside it. Laundromats that do not post prices online are not counted. More on our methods.
