You should be ok, go wash your clothes. Use good detergents and good judgment. I been going for years and I have not come across any problems. People are scared to do everything cause the media does silly research and people get nervous about everything. It is the easiest and most convenient way for you to clean your clothes at this point.

I have never heard they recycle the water (and I don't really believe it). Laundromats are always bring your own detergent, however. Some will sell you a bottle there, but they don't provide it for you.





If you go to a newer laundromat, they are usually cleaner. Also, just look around the place--if there are people running around cleaning the place up and helping people find the right machine to use, you are in a good place--if there is garbage everywhere and no one doing anything about it, you are in a bad place. The only scary thing I heard about laundromats was that there is a fairly high amount of baby poop in the washers from people washing diapers. I doubt it could hurt you (and you certainly can't see or smell it), so I don't worry about it.
First off regular laundry mats don't have servicemen or women so class this mat does have. And no you can't catch anything from previously used water because while it has been recycled it must be cleaned in the process so there goes that problem. As for the cheap detergent why don't you just ask them if they could use your detergent... have a set amount set aside when you ask them so they don't exhaust all of your detergent should you take all of the bottle up to them.
You worry too much. If there were all these dangers, would there be laundrymats all over the world? You have more of a chance having your laundry piled up at home to have some problem than you will by taking them to the laundrymat. They do not ';recycle'; water either.





Best to think about it, how many people that you know have died from ';laundrymat fear syndrome';?
It depends where you go.


My mom takes our clothes to a wash and fold center.


They charge 85 cents per pound.


We usually have 80 lbs a week.





Umm i wouldn't do it yourself.


That'd be embarassing.





My mom loves the way the clothes smell too.
I would never bring them to a laundry mat because the peoples clothes that were in them previously the germs and the chemicals from the clothes will get on to your clothes...
the machines are clean. It's the chair's, counters, building and people that can sometimes be NASTYYYY!
you arent going to catch anything contagious from us poor folk using the laudromats





i promise
public laundries are not very clean. but you need to wash your clothes


better than nothing
