In Closing
When I think of coin laundries, I’ve always had a vague image of them being a bit dirty, but Ariel Laundry Pro seems like the kind of place that completely changes that impression.
There probably aren’t many coin laundries where you can get anti-dust mite treatment, so why not try it now before the rainy season?
If you’re going by car with items like futons, and you’re a Co-op member, you can park for free for 90 minutes if you also shop at Co-op.
