In and Out, in under an hour

Did you know that you can do an entire load of laundry in under an hour? Yes, wash and dry. Our super-efficient machines are designed to completely wash your clothes in 23 minutes. When deciding on how long to dry your clothes, a good rule of thumb is your clothes should dry in the number of minutes it takes to wash your clothes. We will do the math for you: that is 46 minutes!

In the same amount of time it takes to watch your favorite episode of Housewives (did we mention that we have free wi-fi?) you can do your entire load of laundry. No excuses!

Get the CLEANEST CLOTHES EVER using our machines!

Our customers are always saying how clean their clothes smell and how much softer their clothes feel after using our machines. Why? Well, for starters, our water temperature is hotter than you could ever get at home. Heat makes the kinetic energy of water molecules move faster, breaking down germs and dirt quicker than your average washer. The hotter the water, the cleaner the clothes! Hot water is the single-best way to kill common bacteria, and at this time of year especially, who wants unwanted bacteria clinging to their clothes? Hot water is also the best way to rid your clothes of unsightly water-soluble dirt, ensuring that your clothes are squeaky-clean. Combined with an environmentally-friendly soap (nix those chemical detergents, another post for another time!), hot water gets the job done!
The commercial, industrial design of our machines are way more efficient than your average home machine. We have machines that load up to 80 pounds in one wash (and they take credit cards!) Commercial washers use less water and less energy per load. You can fit more laundry while using the same amount of water you would in a normal wash. According to the Energy Star website, newer commercial washers can use anywhere from 3.7 to 7.5 gallons per wash cycle per cubic feet. This new standard, which was set in to 2007, differs from that of the 2004 standards where commercial washers would use anywhere from 4.3 to 12.9 gallons per wash cycle per cubic foot.
Other benefits of using our large-load washers is less agitation. In normal washers, clothes continually get agitated by the central unit present in most washers. With the big loaders, nothing gets in the way of your laundry, making it a good choice from delicates to comforters.

Stay tuned for some amazing special deals coming your way from the 10th St Laundromat, including our popular drawing for $50 cash!

10th St. Laundromat has the best Folding in Philly!

Here’s an unsolicited email from one of our customers, who recently tried one of our competitor’s laundromat pick-up service here in Philadelphia, and they were disappointed with the poor folding!

" I’ve attached some pictures to demonstrate why I’m using 10th Street Laundromat for all my laundry needs in the future!

I’d tried a new pickup laundry service here in Philly, and while my clothes were delivered clean, the folding and organization was a mess! I had to re-fold all of my new clean laundry upon delivery! Much to my dismay, about 25% of the items were also inside out, and none of the folds showed what was on the front of my T-shirts. This may seem trivial, but this small attention to detail is key!

I’m back to using you guys from now on! Here’s photos of my nearly picture-perfect laundry as it was delivered by Lisa last week. I appreciate the double-bagging, and the folding and packing were impeccable! It made putting my laundry away so quick and simple!
