I called one of the commercial laundry place near my house and they told me it's $21 to wash my comforter. I thought they were nuts because my other comforter which required dry cleaning and I had it done at a place near work that cost me less than $20. So, I decided to go to a commercial laundromat to wash the comforter myself while trying to finish up a book I've started a while back. I just slept too much staying home and couldn't get much reading done. I like the commercial washer I saw at the laundromat, a stainless IPSO that can take 50lbs. There are also smaller sizes of 35lbs and 18lbs by the same manufacturer. While I was there, I saw the owner of the place went around and collected all the quarters from the washers and dryers and from the look of the place, he's doing pretty well so I went home and check out to see how much one of those cost. Then I run into conversion between cubic feet and liter and found this great site. Anyway, they do have distributors right here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, which is great but the prices are not listed on the site. I wonder if they even do retail sale? The biggest washer at Lowe's is 3.8 cubic feet, which is about 107 liters. The IPSO model that can take 50lbs is 234 liters, which must be around 8.3 cubic feet.
