About Family Wash
Set on 5327 W Madison St in Austin, Family Wash handles the kind of weekly laundry run that a small apartment washer cannot keep up with.
You run your own cycles here, so you control detergent, water temperature and spin speed — useful for delicates one load and towels the next.
For quilts, sleeping bags and blankets, ask for the biggest machine on the floor rather than splitting the load.
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.
