I tried a new-to-me laundromat this morning. Even though it has been around a while it was clean and quiet, all the machines worked, the dispensers were stocked and there were plenty of baskets.
Unlike most laundromats, there weren’t signs everywhere declaring rules, policies, disclaimers or warnings. However, there were small cards on the soap dispenser explaining Clorox and Bounce are not detergents but a whitener and fabric softener respectively.
The decor featured posters from bygone local events, nature pictures and, quite uniquely for a laundromat, these two posters:
But it makes sense since this laundromat is near a university. And I’m guessing the Clorox and Bounce notices were for young people who might not have done their own laundry before, or who hadn’t been bombarded with commercials for those products as kids.
Anyway, thumbs up for Eastside Laundromat, near Cal Poly Humboldt, Arcata CA, sharing a building with Froth Coffee.
