A launderette, also known as a coin laundry, is a self-service laundry facility where customers pay to use washing machines and dryers. These establishments typically provide multiple washing machines of different sizes, and sometimes dryers as well, allowing customers to wash and dry their clothes on the spot. Some launderettes offer additional services such as ironing, folding, and dry cleaning. Launderettes are often used by people who don't have access to washing facilities in their homes or apartments, such as students, travelers, and those living in shared accommodations.
