Wash and fold minimum
The minimum matters on small bags. A half-full bag still costs the minimum, so the value starts once the bag is genuinely full.

The Board is where the site has to be most concrete: machine sizes, published rates, minimums, payment methods, and the places where the honest answer is still a quote instead of a fixed number.

Minimums, and where they apply
Pickup fee
Pickup and delivery costs more because the trip is part of what you are paying for. The laundry itself is not a higher grade of work.
Commercial quotes
Commercial laundry is priced by volume, frequency, turnaround and collection pattern, so it stays a quote rather than a fake fixed menu.
How to pay
At the machines
Coins and cards at every machine, plus the Cents app if you prefer not to carry either.
At the counter
Cards and Illinois LINK cash benefits at the counter. SNAP food benefits cannot be used for laundry.
Before you start
The point of the Board is to let you know the cost before a cycle starts, not after you have already loaded the machine.
What we do not charge for
- There is no charge for asking which machine to use.
- There is no charge for reading a care label with you before you commit to a wash.
- There is no hidden add-on for detergent advice, sorting advice or basic floor help.
- If a posted rate and the wall rate ever disagree, the lower one is the one you pay.
When these prices change
Price changes belong on the wall and on this page at the same time. The point is not to look stable forever; it is to keep the published information honest on the day somebody checks it.
Commercial laundry is the main exception.
Commercial work starts with a quote because volume, frequency, turnaround and collection pattern change the number too much for a pretend flat menu to be useful.
Come in, or call and ask
If you want the price of a specific load before you leave the house, call. That is quicker than guessing, and cheaper than bringing the wrong machine size to mind.
