Happy Sunday everyone! We have discovered that some calls to us are receiving a “the wireless customer you are trying to reach is unavailable” message. If you are trying to contact us and hear this message, please try calling again. You should hear our voicemail message asking for details so we can route your call properly. We aren’t sure why the calls are not always going to the voicemail message, so if you need to speak with us, please keep trying. Thank you!

Hey everyone, our change machine is currently not functioning as it should. We are scheduling a repair visit, but in the meantime the change machine cannot dispense quarters. The Speed Queen kiosk next to the change machine is working, and there are instructions on a poster above it. Thanks for your patience while we get the change machine fixed! 🧺🧺

We’ve recently had a number of customers call because a washer has displayed a “Machine Processing” message on the screen instead of starting the chosen wash cycle. If this happens, gently jiggle the washer door handle until you hear the click of the door locking. Your washer should start as expected. If it does not, please call us. We can usually get the machine going again over the phone. As always, we thank you for your business! 💙💙

With the unpredictability of the incoming storm, we may close early tomorrow for the safety of our employees and customers. If closing early becomes necessary, we will post our closing time here.

Just as overloading a washer may keep your clothes from washing correctly, overloading a dryer can prevent clothes from drying properly and may cause them to become wrinkled or damaged.👚👕🧦

You may be using too much detergent! Our machines are very efficient with a lot less detergent. It can also be tempting to add more detergent to heavily soiled loads, but using too much detergent can cause oversudsing actually making it more difficult to remove dirt and stains. 🫧🫧

Did you know that overloading a washing machine reduces cleaning efficiency, causes excessive wear on clothes, and damages machine components like motors and suspension rods? To avoid this, fill the drum no more than two-thirds to three-quarters full, allowing space for clothes to move freely. Proper loading ensures better agitation and rinsing of your laundry. 🧺🧺
