Big money in those days. Rent was $300 a month and electric and gas was about $78 a month total. The numbers are obviously different today but for the most part laundromats are still fairly profitable. Back then a wash was a quarter and a dry was 10 cents for 10 minutes. One day we bought all new machines which came with a 30 cents coin start.
When washing clothing at home, consumers pay about 36 cents for the energy to run the washing machine for one load of laundry, 40 cents for energy for the dryer and 11 cents for water. The estimate does not include cleaning products or equipment costs. The average cost of a washing machine is about $700. It has a lifespan of about nine and a half years, assuming that one load of clothing is washed per day. A dryer costs about $600 and lasts about 11 years. Based on the savings by washing at home versus at a laundromat, it takes about 610 loads of laundry to recoup the cost of purchasing a washer and dryer.
