Self Service Laundry in Boise
Thirty-eight machines, none of which take a quarter. Tap a card or your phone, watch the availability board on the way in, and be out in ninety minutes.
Machines And Prices
Every machine takes contactless, the account card, or your phone. There is no change machine because there is nothing to change.
Dryers are 25¢ for 7 minutes on every size. Prices are the same at every hour we are open.
Five Small Decisions
No Coins Anywhere
No change machine, no jammed slot, no hunting for quarters on a Sunday.
You Can See Availability
From the parking lot or from your sofa, before you load the trunk.
Automatic Refunds
A machine that fails credits your card without you asking anyone.
Quiet Floor
Acoustic panels and a sound-rated dryer bank. You can take a call in here.
Power At Every Seat
Sixteen seats, sixteen outlets, and wifi that holds a video call.
Cleaned Hourly
Floor, folding tables and lint traps, on a schedule posted on the wall.
Built Five Years Ago, Not Nineteen Eighty
Most laundromats are older than the people using them, and it shows in the machines, the lighting and the change machine that eats a dollar in four. Quillon was fitted out from an empty shell in 2021, so every decision could be made once and made properly.
Contactless Designed In
Tap-to-pay was specified with the machines rather than bolted onto coin hardware afterwards, which is why there is no change machine and nothing to jam.
A Floor That Isn't Loud
Acoustic panels and a sound-rated dryer bank, because a laundromat does not have to sound like a workshop. Quiet enough to take a call, which several regulars do.
Power At Every Seat
Sixteen seats, sixteen outlets and wifi that holds a video call. If you are going to wait ninety minutes, you should be able to use them.
Three Things, In Order Of How Much They Matter
You Stop Planning Around Quarters
The single most common reason people put laundry off another day is not having change. Removing coins entirely removes that decision, which is why our Sunday evenings are busier than anyone expected.
Failures Fix Themselves
A coin machine that fails needs an attendant, a float and an argument. A card machine that fails issues a credit automatically and logs itself for service. Most of our customers have never had to ask for anything.
The Floor Can Be Honest With You
Because every machine reports its own state, the availability board is real rather than a guess. It also means we know which machines are struggling before they break, which is the unglamorous reason things work here.

Check What's Free From Your Phone
The availability board is a web page, not an app — no download, no account, no sign-up. Open it, see how many machines are free, then decide whether to come now or after dinner.
The Boring Details That Decide It
Everything people actually ring up to ask.
Parking
Twenty-two spaces, free, lit, and none more than forty feet from the door.
Step-Free
Level entry, a 36-inch aisle throughout, and four front-loaders at low height.
Dogs Welcome
On a lead, water bowl by the seating. Plenty of people wash and walk.
Last Wash
9pm, so every load can finish drying before the doors close at ten.
Questions We Get
Really no coins at all?
None. Every washer and dryer takes contactless — bank card, phone, watch or the Quillon account card. There is no change machine on the premises because there is nothing here that takes change.
What if I don't have a card?
The kiosk by the door sells a Quillon card and loads it with cash, so you can still pay with notes. The balance never expires and it works on every machine.
How accurate is the availability board?
It is live. Every machine reports its own state, so the board is reading the machines rather than estimating. It also shows how many minutes the busy ones have left, which is usually the number you actually want.
What happens if a machine takes my money and does nothing?
The credit goes back to the card automatically, usually within a minute, and the machine takes itself out of service. You do not need to find anybody or fill anything in — though the attendant is there 6am to 10pm if you would rather speak to a person.
Can I wash a comforter?
Yes — the six 55 lb machines at the back take a king comforter comfortably, along with sleeping bags, ski gear and dog bedding. It is one cycle at $9.25 rather than four loads on a home machine that cannot get the water through it.
Is there somewhere to work while I wait?
Sixteen seats along the window, each with a power outlet, plus wifi that will hold a video call. The dryer bank is sound-rated and the floor has acoustic panels, so it is quiet enough to take a meeting — several regulars do.
Ask Us Anything
Machine sizes, drop-off, the account card, or whether we can take something unusual. The attendant answers messages between 6am and 10pm.
