I "washed," and I use that term lightly, my clothes at an absolute hole today. I would have been better to get a tupperware out and go old school with a big stick....Anyhow...here are some visuals (just imagine, while you are enjoying these pictures, that the temp is set to
blast furnace in this pit).

10 dryers in total, three working - Notice not a chair in the place. Also the one rolling basket pictured here did not roll and was filthy. |
|
Classy "out of order" sign |
|
Just "no" to all silver dryers |
|
Of the two large capacity washers, both were broken and both had hand-written notes saying the machine had stolen the user's money. I ran to get more quarters and when I got back there was a man collecting the quarters. He stuck the note in the quarter hole - thanks dude, I mean he could have taken he note... |

Fans were covered in dirt, off and no switches anywhere to be seen |
|
The three dryers that were working gave off a ton of heat. It was significantly cooler outside at over 100 degrees. Sister and I were flushed and sweating and we were there for 1 hour and fifteen minutes total. Also one dryer gave 8 minutes per quarter and the others 6 minutes per quarter. I didn't want to be there any longer than necessary so I used all three and felt robbed the entire time. |
There were no other patrons - I don't blame them. I will be sure to do my laundry at any place other than the Florence laundromat from now on. I spent $12 - it was extremely overpriced for filth. There was a washer with four inches of rancid water in the bottom. Obviously this place belongs to someone who never frequents laundromats except to collect the coins. I could go on but will spare you.
Florence definitely has room for improvement.
