March is Women’s History Month. What better to celebrate women’s contributions in the workplace than by acknowledging the achievements of women in the laundry industry. One such outstanding businesswoman is Cathy Neilley who left a thriving corporate career to start a high-end Laundromat and create the Spin Doctor® brand.

When it comes to washing camp and sports clothing, a laundromat—specifically a modern one, is often the best solution. Unlike washers manufactured for home use, modern laundromats offer multiple hi-speed, large-capacity machines that can handle bulky loads, such as sleeping bags, sports uniforms, and towels.

Over the years, we’ve heard negative opinions levied at customers who use our laundry service rather than wash themselves, so we’d like to affirm them, instead, by dispelling some common myths.

Just like the four seasons bring changes to the temperature outdoors, the clothing we wear come with washer and dryer temperature recommendations designed to help keep garments looking good from a color, condition, or shape perspective when laundering—unfortunately, they often go un-noticed.
