Self Service Laundry stores with commercial washers and dryers have become popular over the last few decades and you will be surprised to learn how much they have evolved over time.
The first appearance in society
The roots of running modern laundromats for the public actually began in the Roman Empire, when laundresses collected clothes from households, cleaned them, and then returned them to their owners. Something that happens even nowadays!
The first “washing machine” was invented in 1851 and in the early 1900s electric washers and dryers were invented, but they were very expensive to own.
In the mid-1930s, the first washers and dryers with coin receiver were created in Texas, America!
And since then, coin laundry stores started opening all over the world as an affordable means for people to wash their clothes, and it’s still going strong today.
