See what the local laundromats charge and make it less. I am pretty sure the huge washers around here charge $8 to wash. As long as you keep it less, you're good. When I had them I charged a dollar and the laundromat charged $3. --108.24.xx.xx

I have several sets of Whirlpool top loading washers & electric dryers. I went with these instead of something like SpeedQueen because mine don't even come close to being used as much as those in a regular laundromat. I currently charge $2.00 for a wash & $2.00 for drying which I believe is about 20-25 minutes. --71.174.xxx.xx

We are increasing our to $1.75 each. The new ones being installed around the area are at $2.00 --24.123.x.xxx

Thank You everyone. The answers were helpful. --47.155.xx.xxx

Then, I'd charge maybe a dollar more. For the tenants, the convenience of being on property and not needing to get into the car. Friends and relatives not bringing their laundry over because it's cheaper than the public places. --72.70.xxx.xxx

We keep them cheap. $1.75. The idea here really isn’t to make money off of the laundry. Many apartments here don’t come with washers and dryers or even hookups because the water usage fees are so high. Nobody charges the tenant separately for water. I don’t know why. When I advertised that water was not included it got me nothing but grief. The coin ops are an alternative. They cover their maintenance and usage , but their existence here isn’t to generate a huge profit. It gives our apartments an advantage because they are convenient. --75.133.xxx.xx

Ours are at $1.50. --71.184.xxx.xx

Mines are at $ 1.50 and that includes about an hour of drying time. Been like that for four years. I need to adjust. I have them in my rooming house. I pull $ 80-$100 a month out of them; more than enough to cover my water bill. It's a huge convenience for the tenants. --209.122.xx.xxx

Will cost more at first where a commercial front load washing machine will use 40 per cent less water along considerably less hot water. Even a used laundromat commercial front load washing machine will with stand the abuse in a laundromat environment. Found when a laundromat closes those heavy commercial machines last as industrial build quality. The heavy commercial gas clothes dryers run for a shorter period of time where everyone is in and out in less time. Natural gas clothes cost a lot less to operate along the clothes are dried in shorter period of time. Double $3, Triple $5 --99.236.xxx.xxx
