About Big Laundry
Locals searching for laundry near Albany Park regularly land on Big Laundry, a self-service coin-operated laundromat at 4718 N Kimball Ave.
Because machines are self-service, a big mixed wash can be split across several washers at once and finished in a single trip.

Hours, pricing, and payment options change from time to time. Call ahead before a first visit to confirm current hours, whether card or mobile payment is accepted, and whether an attendant is on duty when you plan to arrive.
