Those who frequent this laundromat love how inexpensive these coin-op machines are. Washers range from $1.75 to $4.50 per load. Dryers are $0.50 per 10 minutes, allowing you to customize how long you tumble your clothes. An ATM and change machine are located inside of the laundromat, allowing you to avoid making a stop at the bank for a roll of quarters. They also have a vending machine that dispenses many brands of laundry soap, fabric softener, and stain remover. In addition to laundry supplies, they also have a vending machine with snacks and beverages to hold you over as you wait.

This location has ample space for folding, as well as many laundry carts to transport your clothes from station to station. They also offer dry cleaning services for your delicate clothing, as well as wash and fold services for those who prefer to drop of their dirty laundry and pick up clean laundry later.

They have parking available in front of the entrance, so you never have to lug your laundry too far. Lake Merritt Wash House is right across from the South East end of Lake Merritt, giving you the opportunity to bask in the sun and bird watch while your clothes tumble. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars within a couple of blocks of Lake Merritt Wash House, giving you plenty of ways to enjoy your time while you do laundry.
