Self-Service Laundromat with Large-Capacity Washers | Forest Hills, NY

Choose the wash that suits your laundry

Self-service laundry gives you control over sorting, detergent and the care choices for each load. At 108th Street Laundromat in Forest Hills, you can wash and dry your own clothes at any hour. It is a useful option when a home washer is unavailable, when several loads have accumulated or when you want to handle particular garments yourself.

Sort by care needs rather than simply putting everything into one machine. Check labels for permitted temperatures and drying methods, empty pockets and close fasteners that might snag fabric. Separate colors and whites when appropriate, and keep delicate items apart from heavy towels. Bring detergent, or call to ask whether any on-site detergent options are available before relying on them.

How it works

1. Prepare your load. Read care labels, remove loose items from pockets and decide which clothes can safely wash together. Bring an accepted payment method; ask in store or call to confirm the current options.

2. Choose a suitable washer. Ask which available machine fits the load without crowding. Follow the posted controls and detergent guidance. Specific capacities and equipment configurations should be confirmed with our team.

3. Dry and fold. Follow each item’s drying instructions, check for remaining dampness and fold only when the laundry is ready. Avoid assuming that the same heat setting is suitable for clothing, bedding and delicate fabrics.

Who it’s for

Self-service suits customers who prefer to manage the process themselves, households with several baskets, and people washing items that need different settings. It can also be a flexible alternative when shared building machines are busy. You choose when to visit and how to group your loads; we do not promise a particular wait time or machine availability.

Large-load options may be helpful for comforters, blankets and family-size loads. Rugs require extra caution: backing, adhesives and care instructions may make some unsuitable for machine washing or drying. Ask before bringing a rug, oversized duvet or weighted blanket. A large machine is not automatic permission to wash an item; its care label and the equipment limits both matter.

Service area

Visit our Forest Hills store from Rego Park, Corona, Kew Gardens, Elmhurst, Middle Village or elsewhere in Queens. Use the map for directions from your address. If you are coming from the Queens Boulevard or 63rd Drive area, let the directions service choose the appropriate route rather than relying on an unverified walking estimate.

Call to confirm available machine sizes, current pricing and payment methods. We have not published whether cards, coins or mobile payments are accepted, or verified front-load and stacked-dryer configurations. If you would rather drop off a bag than stay for the cycles, explore wash & fold; local pickup and delivery is also available subject to address confirmation.
