Relax – you’re going to be here awhile. Sit back and take in the unique sounds of the laundromat: the quarters clinking into the coin slots, the gurgle of water as the industrial washing machines fill, followed by the swish of the agitators as the soapy water releases soils from the fabric. The spin cycle revs up, then the whole process repeats. Underscoring all this activity, the vibration of oversized dryers provides a steady, reassuring hum. The air is warm and moist, and pleasantly scented by aromatic cleansers. Take this time out for yourself; let the machines do the work. Enjoy the down time.
