Laundromats That Take Cards — No Quarters Needed in Waukegan, IL

4 of the 19 laundromats we list in Waukegan have card or app payment.

Running a load used to mean hunting for quarters, and a map listing still will not tell you whether you need them. These locations take cards, tap payments or an app at the machine, so a full load does not start with a trip to the bank. Card systems also let you add money mid-cycle, which matters when a heavy load needs a second dry.

Card does not always mean no coins. Plenty of places run a mixed floor — newer machines on cards, older banks still on quarters. If you are bringing a comforter, ask which machines are on the card system, because the big front-loaders are often the ones that were converted first.

Good to know

Do laundromats take credit cards?

Many now do, through a reader on the machine or a kiosk that loads a reusable card. Tap payments and phone apps are common in newer locations; older neighbourhood laundromats are still coin-only.

Is it cheaper to pay with coins or a card?

The price of a wash is usually the same either way. Some card systems add a small load fee when you top up, and some run app-only discounts, so the difference is a few cents rather than a reason to choose.

What if the card machine is broken?

Attended locations can start a machine manually or refund on the spot. At unattended ones the kiosk usually posts a support number, and refunds come back to the card — which is one practical reason to prefer a laundromat with staff on site.
