💡 Pro Tips — Save Time & Money
- Split large loads across two dryers — cutting a big load into two dryers nearly halves your dry time and often costs the same or less than running one oversized load longer.
- Don't overstuff — a properly loaded washer and dryer cleans and dries faster. Overfilling means longer cycles, damp clothes, and wasted quarters.
- Comforters, duvets, and bulky items take longer in the dryer — budget 40–50 min dry time and consider using a 60 LB machine for best results.
- Our 40 LB and 60 LB touchscreen washers run an 8-minute faster cycle than standard machines — great for getting in and out quickly.
- • Our 40 LB and 60 LB large-capacity washers feature touchscreen controls.
- • Our 22 LB standard washers use traditional dial controls.
- • Card payment coming soon on large-capacity machines — cash accepted on all machines.
