Home About Us About Wash Works Laundry & Dry Cleaning The founder of Wash Works opened the laundromat when he was 30 years old. He didn’t like working for a large company and he disliked sitting in an office all day. At one time, Wash Works grew to seven stores. He loved the business and wanted to redefine what a laundromat should be. They should be clean and with customer-service attendants to help and to answer questions. There should be plenty of folding tables and seating.
