Laundry Bag

I went to Laundry Bag for the first time today with my elderly friend to wash her comforter and bathroom mats. What a pleasant surprise. Lots and lots of machines and very friendly and helpful staff. I needed help figuring out the machine that dispenses the cards (instead of pumping quarters into the machines) and also assistance with the dryer. A friendly attendant assisted without my having to seek anyone out. The machines are fast, and my friend and I enjoyed sitting and watching the wonderful diversity of people passing by. Plus, laundry we used to do at another horribly dirty place with awful personnel cost about half the price. A good find!

Clean facility. Plenty of machines. I like that it is card operated. You just load money onto the card as needed. As a female I feel perfectly safe coming here alone. Also very reasonable prices.

I’ve been going to the Laundry Bag for the past year and think it’s a pretty good spot. I go during workdays so it’s not usually too crowded. It may be completely different on nights and weekends. The machines work as advertised. It’s better in many ways than doing wash at home because you can use multiple washers and dryers. You can get it all done in an hour.

Been here twice since my washer died a few weeks ago. Not bad for a Laundromat. The first time I went was Sunday afternoon and it was unbelievable packed! The second time was much better, not nearly as many people. More of the machines are out of service than should be, and they are not cleaned as often as they should be, but it’s decent overall and the best one I could find that was close to Rockville. I do really like that they use cards not coins (but then again maybe that’s the new norm, it’s been many years since I’ve gone to a Laundromat). Can’t speak to the wash-​and-​fold service.

The one star is for the wash and fold laundry service. They only charge $.85 a pound, but it is not worth it. I dropped off my laundry an Sat. and was to pick it up on Monday, but it was not ready. They called me Monday night and said that they put a rush on it and that I could pick it up at 10:00 PM. I was waiting another 45 min for someone to do a bad job folding my laundry, half of which was stuffed into a bag without being folded. Take my advice, spend the extra $.15 and call Wishy Wash. They’ll pick up and deliver your laundry, cleaned, folded, wrapped and bagged.

Boy, this place is busy on a Monday night at 5 pm! The techno music is blaring too!
I stopped in to wash my comforter along with a few other things that wouldn’t fit in my apartment-​sized washer/​dryer. They offer various sized washers for reasonable prices. The washer I chose costs me just $ 1.89! I crammed my stuff in and trotted off to get a bite to eat and escape the loud music for half an hour.
Dryers are huge and really heat up. At $ 0.25 for eight minutes it should cost you no more than $ 1.50 to dry your load.
When I was last here about a year and a half ago they were in the process of updating their machines. Now, you pay by purchasing a card from a machine on which you add any monetary amount that you wish. You slide the card into the machine and press start. Easy as pie! No coins needed! Just do the math ahead of time to calculate what you think you’ll need. You can always add more money.
They also offer a wash and fold service for $ 1.00/# for the first five pounds and then $ 0.85 for every pound there after.
