[Schedule Drop Off](/wash-fold)[Call (510) 626-0664](tel:+15106260664) 1. [Home](/) 2. [Guides](/guides) 3. Laundry cost in San Francisco Answer A typical self-service load at our shop is around **$8**: $6 for a 20-lb eco front-load washer plus about $2 for 32 minutes of drying at $1 per 16 minutes. Wash & fold starts at $1.75/lb, and your first drop-off order is $10 off. ## What does a wash cost at SF City Laundromat? Self-service washers are priced by size, so you pay for the machine you use — no monthly fee, no membership, no surge pricing: - **$4** · 14-lb top-load washer — small load, one person's clothes. - **$6** · 20-lb eco front-load washer — the everyday-hamper size. - **$7** · 30-lb front-load washer — big loads, king comforters, or two hampers combined. ## How much does the dryer cost? All dryers are the same rate: **$1 per 16 minutes**. Most self-service loads take one or two dryer cycles depending on fabric and how full you packed it — figure $1 for a light load of clothes, $2 for a normal mixed load, and $3 for towels or bedding. ## Worked example: what does one full trip actually cost? Take an average hamper of mixed clothes: shirts, jeans, a hoodie, socks, one set of sheets. That's a good match for the 20-lb eco washer. - Washer (20 lb eco front-load): **$6** - Dryer, 32 minutes (2 × 16-min cycles): **$2** - Detergent pod at the counter (if you didn't bring your own): a small extra — ask staff for the current price. Total for that trip: **~$8** plus detergent. See [full pricing](/pricing) for the whole rate card. ## How much is wash & fold? Drop-off wash & fold is a per-pound service, so cost scales with the weight of your bag rather than a per-load fee: - **$1.75 / lb** · sort, wash in the right cycle and temperature, high-efficiency dry, hand-fold, pair socks, bag and tag. - **\-$10** · off your first drop-off order. - Text notification when your bag is ready. Same-day service is usually available — confirm at the counter when you drop off. ## Self-service or wash & fold — which is cheaper? Self-service is almost always the lower _dollar_ cost. Wash & fold trades money for time: you drop the bag and get on with your day, and we handle the sort, wash, dry, fold, and pairing. If you'd rather compare the two side by side — including what's actually included in each — read [Wash & Fold vs. Self-Service](/guides/wash-fold-vs-self-service). ## How do I pay? Self-service machines take **coin in-store** or the **PayRange app** for cardless payment. The PayRange app lets you top up once and tap to start any machine — no coins needed. Ask at the counter about EBT eligibility for wash & fold. ## Do you have hidden fees? No membership, no delivery charge (we're drop-off only), no surge pricing. The rate you see is the rate you pay. If you're planning a bigger job — a comforter, sleeping bag, or the whole household's sheets — read [how to wash a comforter at a laundromat](/guides/how-to-wash-a-comforter) before you come by.
