There are hundreds of laundromats (“washaterias” CVH calls them) in Chicago. I can see where it is difficult for laundromat owners to come up with a distinctive name for their business. Some don’t try very hard at all, like “Coin Laundry”.
Some try a little harder, but “Spin Cycle” isn’t exactly original or poetic, either.
I take my items that don’t go in the coin machine to a neighborhood cleaners, Smile Cleaners. It’s a nice, positive name.
Fun Wash, is positive too, but might be pushing it a bit far. Ditto for Wash & Relax.
The one that never fails to tickle me is Fluffy Laundry. I just love that name.
My second place goes to Happy Bubble.
There’s a LaundryLand in our neighborhood. Not the most imaginative name, but they have a really great sign.
