At Beaumont Laundromat, a self-serve wash costs $5.50 to $10.00 per load depending on machine size, and dryers run $1.00 for 8 or 6 minutes. Drop-off wash and fold is $2.50 per pound for regular clothes, so a 15 lb bag comes to $37.50. Below are the full price lists, worked examples, and the services you'll need to call about.
What does a self-serve wash cost in Beaumont?
Beaumont Laundromat has three sizes of commercial front-load washer at #107, 5303 Magasin Ave, Beaumont, AB T4X 1V8. You pay per load, not per pound, so the trick is to pick the smallest machine your load actually fits in without packing it tight.
| Washer | Capacity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 20 lb | $5.50 / load |
| Medium | 30 lb | $7.50 / load |
| Large | 40 lb | $10.00 / load |
A rough way to think about sizes:
- Small (20 lb, $5.50) suits one person's week of everyday clothes, a set of sheets and towels, or a single load of darks.
- Medium (30 lb, $7.50) handles a couple's week, a heavier towel load, or jeans and work pants together.
- Large (40 lb, $10.00) is for a big family load or several small loads that can safely be washed together.
Clothes need room to tumble. A washer stuffed to the door washes worse than one filled about three-quarters of the way, so if you're between sizes, go up one.
How much does the dryer cost?
Dryers are paid by time rather than by load. The 30 lb dryer gives you 8 minutes for $1.00, and the 40 lb dryer gives you 6 minutes for $1.00.
| Dryer | Price |
|---|---|
| 30 lb capacity | $1 for 8 minutes |
| 40 lb capacity | $1 for 6 minutes |
Drying time depends on the fabric, how full the drum is and how well the washer spun the load, so it's impossible to promise a number. What you can do is the math once you know roughly how long your load needs.
Dryer math: a few examples
| If your load needs about… | 30 lb dryer | 40 lb dryer |
|---|---|---|
| 24 minutes | $3.00 | $4.00 |
| 40 minutes | $5.00 | $7.00 |
| 48 minutes | $6.00 | $8.00 |
So if your load needs about 40 minutes, that's $5.00 in the 30 lb dryer or $7.00 in the 40 lb dryer. The bigger dryer costs a little more per minute, but it holds more, and a load with room to tumble usually dries more evenly. Two tips that save money:
- Start with less time and add more. Check the load, feel the thickest item (a seam, a waistband, a towel fold), and top up only if it's still damp.
- Don't split one washer load into two dryers unless it's truly packed. One well-filled dryer is usually cheaper than two half-empty ones.
What does a typical trip cost?
Here are three worked examples using today's prices. The drying times are assumptions for the sake of the math, not a promise about how long your clothes will take.
One person, one load
A small wash at $5.50, then the 30 lb dryer. If that load needs about 32 minutes, drying is $4.00. Total: $9.50.
A family's week
Say a family of four brings one large load of clothes and one medium load of towels and sheets. Washing is $10.00 plus $7.50, or $17.50. If the large load needs about 42 minutes in the 40 lb dryer ($7.00) and the medium load about 40 minutes in the 30 lb dryer ($5.00), the whole week comes to $29.50.
A 15 lb bag dropped off
Hand it over the counter and it's washed, dried and folded for you: 15 × $2.50 = $37.50. A heavier 25 lb bag would be $62.50.
How does drop-off wash and fold pricing work?

| Wash, dry and fold — regular clothes | $2.50 / lb |
| Coveralls, work clothes, comforters, blankets, duvets | Call for a price |
| Ironing | Call or WhatsApp for a quote |

A few quick weights to help you estimate:
| Bag weight | Drop-off price |
|---|---|
| 10 lb | $25.00 |
| 15 lb | $37.50 |
| 20 lb | $50.00 |
| 30 lb | $75.00 |
If you're not sure what your laundry weighs, a bathroom scale works: weigh yourself holding the bag, then without it. For how drop-off works step by step, see the wash and fold service page.
When does self-serve make sense, and when is drop-off better?
Both options get your clothes clean. The difference is who spends the time.
Self-serve is usually the better fit when:
- you have a big load and want the lowest cost per pound,
- you're particular about how certain items are washed or dried,
- you have time to wait nearby, and
- you want everything done in one visit.
Drop-off is usually the better fit when:
- your time is worth more to you than the price difference,
- you'd rather not sort, fold and carry it all home in piles,
- you have a smaller bag where the per-pound price stays reasonable, or
- the week is simply too full.
