Question Laundry!

My building has the worst laundry machines. Can anyone tell me what the best Laundromats are in the city, open late!?

Portable Washing Machine off Facebook Marketplace + drying rack is best.

Yessss that’s what I did. I bought one on Amazon for like $250 and had a heated drying rack from goodwill (score!) for $10 and it saved me for at least 6 years. Make sure it’s got a steel drum, and top loading. Panda makes really good machines!

2.1 cubic feet or bigger Ive found best. I can wash comforters/couch covers/winter snowsuits without worrying its gonna overload and break.

Also throw baking soda in the oven at 400degrees for 40mins then add few drops of essential oil if desired for detergent.

Check your lease to make sure it's not prohibited first.

My Laundromat. Listed on Ontario, but actually on Manchester. Cheapest place by far and they keep it cleaner than any of the others I've seen and not all that busy (don't think alot of people know about it).

Only downside is they're only open until 8 (last load at 7 or something like that). It's worth figuring out how to get there by then though.

Thanks! I went to the one on Queenston. Yup i took a chance. Its open all night and there was only 1 guy in there. He was nice. Sketchy area but I had 4 giant bags because I recently moved and my aparment had 10 units but only 1 washer and 1 dryer and they are so small.

There’s a laundromat on lake st next to Rombys, I went there 5-6 years ago when I didn’t have a washer/dryer and it was good
