Lea’s Waschhaus Laundry self-service

I scoured the Internet for a self-​serve Laundry in Zurich… this one was not showing up on Unilocal or in most of my other searches, but there was one travel forum that mentioned it. Went today and it was fantastic– if the prices I read about for the other place in town (by the train station) were correct, this was a MUCH better deal and an improvement on so many levels. Still not cheap, but self service laundry is hard to find in these parts. We did 3 loads of laundry today and it cost me in total around 50 francs (including detergent and fabric softener). The wash loads range from 6.20 to 7.50 or so depending on the water temp you choose. The dryers were 3 SF for 10 minutes, but it takes about 20 – 25 minutes to dry a load. The whole place is self service, no attendant, no bathroom, no wifi. However there are lots of places you can walk to close by. We had lunch at a relatively reasonable Turkish place close by while our clothes washed. They have a change machine that takes coins and bills up to 50 francs– so that part was really easy. They also have a vending machine for the detergent and softener– about $ 1/​load for detergent and .50 for softener. Easy pay parking out front– 1 franc per hr up to 2 hrs.
When we arrived only two of the roughly 8 – 10 washers were in use. When we left there was a wait because one couple came in with a mountain of wash and were using almost all of the machines. There are also 4 huge dryers.
What I read about the wascherei by the train station said the wash loads were about 20 francs and then with the dryer you had to feed it money every three minutes. That place also had no bill changer so you had to come in with a ton of coins. Haven’t been there but it sounded like my 3 loads there would have cost about 2 – 3 times as much as what I paid at Lea’s. Was very happy with this spot and even more happy to have clean clothes again!
