Addresses, hours, what payment they take, and what a load actually costs. We rent washers and dryers for a living, so we have an obvious bias — which is exactly why we made this guide accurate.
Opened in December 2025 by Emily Strayer, a founding member of The Chicks, with a designed interior and a full espresso bar attached. Twenty-eight Speed Queen washers, thirty-six dryers, ozone sanitizing, and it is one of very few laundromats in the city that takes EBT.
The highest aggregate rating of anything in the metro, and genuinely open around the clock — the strongest late-night option on the north side. Free WiFi, attendants on duty, free popcorn, and reviewers name individual staff by name, which is usually a sign of a real service culture rather than a review campaign.
Attended open to close with cameras running, free WiFi and real air conditioning — a comfortable, well-supervised room in a part of town where that isn't a given. Cleanliness and staff who go out of their way are the recurring themes; one reviewer recounts an attendant re-washing crayon-stained clothes without being asked.
One of the very few San Antonio laundromats that posts a complete price list online, and its rates land right in the middle of the market — which makes it a useful benchmark store. Two-load $3.00, three-load $3.75, four-load $4.75, six-load $6.75, eight-load $8.75. Attended all open hours and long-established.
The most complete public price list in the metro, and they publish machine counts alongside it: 63 washers, 50 dryers, including 44 forty-pound dryers, which means you almost never wait to dry. It's also one of the few remaining large northwest-side stores that still takes actual quarters as well as cards — a real advantage over the card-only chains nearby.
The best-documented equipment lineup of anything in this guide: 30 Electrolux washers from 18 to 80 pounds, 28 dryers, 450G extract speed, UV sanitization. The high extract speed genuinely cuts dry time, and the size range covers everything from a single load to a king comforter. Cleanliness is the dominant praise theme across 362 reviews.
New Electrolux equipment, a children's play area, vending, clean restrooms and real parking make this one of the more workable stops with kids in tow on the Bandera Road corridor. The loyalty program gives 10% back in points, and their delivery pricing is unusually upfront about courier surcharges, which is to their credit.
By a wide margin the cheapest option in this guide. A two-load washer at $1.25–$1.50 is roughly half what the card-only chains charge, and E-Z Wash markets itself openly on price. Combine that with genuine 24-hour access and it's the practical choice for budget and shift-work laundry near Randolph AFB.
A genuine 24-hour store on the northeast side with the second-deepest review base in the metro. Reviewers consistently credit an attendant named Victoria and describe the place as being in a league of its own for cleanliness, with staff who walk first-timers through the card system.
Veteran-owned and the only well-reviewed dedicated laundromat serving Converse and Live Oak directly, with a kids' play area, free WiFi, big dryers, an on-site attendant and RV-friendly parking. Genuinely useful in an underserved pocket of the metro.
The volume story here is the credible one — 1,177 reviews is an order of magnitude more than most competitors, and holding 4.4 across that many is more meaningful than a 4.9 across thirty. Spacious, 24 hours, TVs, free WiFi, and attendants that reviewers name individually.
The South Side has few modern, well-equipped laundromats and this one fills the gap — new Electrolux machines, a 35–45 minute wash-to-dry turnaround, an unusually late 11pm close, and a computer workspace in the waiting area. It takes coins as well as app and kiosk cash, which matters more in this part of town than it does up north.
A locally-owned nine-store chain rather than a franchise, and this branch is the most practical laundromat near Lackland — extra-large washers for comforters, free WiFi, an attendant on site, and RV-friendly access that genuinely matters for transient military families. Payment flexibility is the real strength: app, card, or actual quarters, so nobody gets locked out.
Speed Queen machines, a kids' lounge with iPads, free WiFi, and a "one dry guarantee" — meaning if your load doesn't come out dry in one cycle, they make it right. The 1am close is the latest of any non-24-hour store in the city, which makes it a reasonable fallback when the SpinXpress locations are across town.
Boerne's established family-owned option, around thirty years in the market, with a 6am open that beats almost everything in the metro, air-conditioned lobbies, free WiFi, and eight-load washers for bulk items.
The best-rated genuine self-serve laundromat we could verify in New Braunfels, with a 6am open and a machine mix that handles everything from small loads to comforters. Cleanliness and helpful staff are the consistent themes, and it reads as a straightforward neighborhood operation rather than a polished chain.
A note on Schertz and Cibolo: we looked and couldn't find a well-reviewed laundromat in either. Schertz has exactly one listed — Highlander Center Coin Laundry at 405 Main St — and it sits around 3.4 stars. If you're out that way, Universal City or New Braunfels is the better drive.
Built from the four San Antonio laundromats that publish real price lists — E-Z Wash on the budget end, Lavandería and San Antonio Green Laundry in the middle, and SOAP at the top. The two mid-market stores land within pennies of each other on every machine size, which gives good confidence in the middle band.
| Machine | What it handles | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Standard washer (18–20 lb) | One normal load | $1.25 – $3.00 |
| Double-load (30 lb) | Two loads, or bulky items | $2.00 – $4.00 |
| Four-load (40 lb) | Comforters, several loads at once | $2.50 – $5.00 |
| Six-load (60 lb) | King bedding, rugs, dog blankets | $3.50 – $7.00 |
| Eight-load / mega (80 lb) | Everything you own, at once | $5.00 – $9.00 |
| Dryer, coin-metered | Per 4–6 minutes | $0.25 |
| Dryer, fixed cycle (30–45 lb) | Roughly 24–30 minutes | $2.00 – $3.00 |
| Dryer, large (70–75 lb) | Per cycle | $3.25 – $6.00 |
| Wash and dry, one load | Start to finish | $2.50 – $9.00 |
Most people land between $5 and $7 a load. Budget coin stores like E-Z Wash run $2.50–$4.00. The boutique end, with soil and ozone add-ons, runs $6–$9. A family doing eight loads a week is spending somewhere between $87 and $312 a month, and that's before gas and the two or three hours it eats.
| Business | Rate |
|---|---|
| WaveMAX Babcock | from $1.25/lb ($15 min) |
| WaveMAX Jackson Keller | $1.49/lb (15 lb min) |
| LaundroLab (both locations) | $1.50/lb |
| SOAP Laundry Lounge | $1.50/lb (15 lb min) |
| Metro Wash, Boerne | $1.75/lb (10 lb min) |
| LaundroLab pickup & delivery | $1.85/lb + courier fee |
| Lavandería | $1.99 two-day · $2.39 next-day · $2.69 same-day |
| CMC Five Star, Converse | $2.00/lb ($15 min) |
SpinXpress and Local Laundry are the two largest operators in San Antonio by store count — roughly nineteen locations between them — and neither publishes a single self-serve price online for any location. You find out what a load costs when you're standing in front of the machine. That's not a small thing when you're comparing options.
They exist, but they're the exception. The dominant pattern in this city is 6 or 7am to 10 or 11pm, with a last-wash cutoff 45 to 75 minutes before close. Nearly every modern chain store closes by 10 or 11.

Hours, prices and ratings change. We compiled this from operators' published listings and review aggregators in August 2026 and flagged everything we couldn't verify — but a phone call still beats a website. If you spot something out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.
The math shifts at volume. At the San Antonio mid-market rate of roughly $6 a load, once you're past about three loads a week, your monthly laundromat spend passes what it costs to rent a washer and dryer outright. At eight loads a week you're spending north of $200 a month to use someone else's machines.
We rent a washer and dryer for $65 a month across San Antonio and the surrounding metro — delivered, installed, repaired if it breaks, and picked up when you're done. No credit check, no deposit. Six-month minimum, then month to month.
If you're doing one or two loads a week, or you don't have hookups, the laundromat is genuinely the right answer and we'd rather you use this guide than call us.
