Self-Service Laundromats — Do Your Own Wash in New Orleans, LA

3 of the 35 laundromats we list in New Orleans have self-service, coin- or card-operated machines.

Two very different businesses share the word laundry: one where you load the machines yourself, and one where you hand over a bag and come back later. Places here are the first kind. Bring quarters or a card depending on the machines, and check the largest washer size before you drive over — a king comforter needs a 60-pound drum, and not every location has one.

Peak hours decide whether this takes one hour or three. Weekend mornings and the first evening after a holiday fill every machine; weekday mid-mornings are usually empty. Many places post machine availability or a live count online, and an attendant on site means someone can reset a machine that eats your money.

Good to know

How much does a load cost at a self-service laundromat?

Commonly $2.50-4.50 for a standard washer and $0.25-0.50 per few minutes of drying, so a typical load runs $5-8 all in. Large-capacity washers for bedding cost more, often $6-9 a cycle.

Do laundromats still take quarters?

Many do, and plenty have moved to cards or apps. Locations differ inside the same chain, so check before you arrive with nothing but bills — change machines exist but are the first thing to break.

How long does laundry take at a laundromat?

About 25-35 minutes to wash and 30-45 to dry, so budget an hour and a half for one load. Doing several loads at once is exactly why people come here rather than using a home machine.
