Self-Service Coin Laundry in Toledo, OH
Forty-six washers and dryers on Broadway Street, from a single load to an 80 lb machine that swallows a king comforter. Park at the door, wash everything at once, and be home in under two hours.
Machine Sizes And What They Cost
Every price is posted on the wall too. Dryers run 25¢ for 6 minutes on all sizes.
Quarters, dollar bills and card top-ups all work at the change machine by the front door.
A Laundromat You Do Not Mind Sitting In
Dunmoss was a corner grocery before the Halvers family gutted it and put in the first twenty machines. Nineteen years later it is still a family business, still on the same corner, and still run on the principle that people should not have to spend their Saturday somewhere unpleasant. The floors get mopped twice a day. The lint traps get cleared between every cycle. The lights are bright enough to read under, the chairs face the windows, and there is an attendant on the floor from open to close — not behind glass, on the floor, making change and fixing the machine that ate your quarter.

What You'll Find Inside
The small things that decide whether two hours is bearable.
Free Wifi
Fast enough to stream, with outlets at every window seat.
Twelve Folding Tables
Stainless, waist height, wiped down through the day.
Rolling Carts
Twenty of them, so you are never carrying a wet load.
Vending & Coffee
Snacks, cold drinks, detergent, dryer sheets and bleach.
Two Televisions
One on the news, one on cartoons, both with the sound low.
Bright All Evening
Lit like a shop, not a basement — including the parking lot.
Have A Look Before You Come
Two corners of the shop — the dryer wall and the folding counter.
Three Reasons Regulars Come Here
The Machines Work
A technician is in every second week whether anything is broken or not. If a machine takes your money, the attendant refunds it out of the drawer on the spot — no form, no phone number to call.
Somebody Is Always Here
From six in the morning to eleven at night there is a person on the floor. That is why the place stays clean, why nothing goes missing, and why it is somewhere you can send your teenager alone.
You Can Do It All At Once
Twenty-two 20 lb machines and six of 60 lb and up. Nobody waits for a machine, and a whole week of family laundry goes through in one sitting instead of five.
Bring The Load Your Machine Can't Take
The 60 and 80 lb washers handle a king comforter, a winter coat run, or a month of sports kit in one cycle. Wash it here once and you will stop paying to have it done elsewhere.
What Regulars Say
I can do four loads at once here and be out in ninety minutes. The big machines take a king comforter and two blankets together, which my machine at home never could.
It is clean, it is bright, and there is always somebody working. My daughter does her homework at the counter while I wash. That is the whole reason we drive past two other places.
I dropped a duvet off on Saturday morning and picked it up folded that afternoon. Eighteen dollars. I have stopped fighting with it at home.
Questions We Get At The Counter
Do I need quarters, or can I pay by card?
Either. Every machine takes quarters, and every machine also takes the reloadable Dunmoss card, which you can top up with cash or a debit card at the front. The change machine by the door takes bills and cards and gives quarters.
What time is the last wash?
We stop starting washers at 9:30pm so every load can finish drying before we close at 11pm. Dryers run until 10:45pm. If you arrive after 9:30 the attendant will tell you honestly whether you have time.
How much does it cost to do a full week of family laundry?
Most families of four use one 40 lb washer at $6.50 and about 35 minutes of dryer time at around $1.50 — so roughly eight dollars, plus detergent. Splitting the same laundry across small machines usually costs more, not less.
Can you wash a king comforter?
Yes — that is what the 80 lb machines at the back are for. A king comforter washes and dries properly in one, which a home machine cannot do because it cannot get the water through it. Bring it in or drop it off and we will do it for you.
Is there somewhere to sit while I wait?
Yes. There are twenty seats along the front windows with power outlets and free wifi, two televisions, folding tables, and a vending machine. Plenty of people work or do homework here for the hour.
Do you take commercial laundry — salons, restaurants, short-term rentals?
We do. Bulk loads run through the 60 and 80 lb machines and can be set up as a standing weekly drop-off with an invoice at month end. Call and ask for the manager and we will work out a rate by the pound.
