Self-service laundry
A self-service laundry, coin laundry or coin wash is a facility where clothes are washed and dried. They are known in the United Kingdom as launderettes or laundrettes, and in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand as laundromats (from the genericized trademark of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation)〔 or washaterias. George Edward Pendray created the word "laundromat" for Westinghouse.
== Staffed laundries ==
Some laundries employ staff to provide service for the customers. Minimal service centres may simply provide an attendant behind a counter to provide change, sell washing powder, and watch unattended machines for potential theft of clothing. Others allow customers to drop off clothing to be washed, dried, and folded. This is often referred to as ''Fluff & Fold'', ''Wash-n-Fold'', ''Drop Off'', ''bachelor bundles'', a ''service wash'' or ''full-service wash''. Some staffed laundry facilities also provide dry cleaning pick-up and drop-off. There are over 35,000 laundries throughout the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Starting a Laundromat Business )〕 Similar services exist in the United Kingdom where the terms ''service wash'' or ''full-service wash'' are also in use.
