How much does a wash cost?
Our wash prices are straightforward and competitive:
- Small (20 lb capacity): $2.75 per wash
- Medium (40 lb capacity): $5.25 per wash
- Large (55 lb capacity): $6.50 per wash
- Extra-Large (70 lb capacity): $7.75 per wash
These prices include the full wash cycle. Our larger machines are an incredible value — you can wash an entire week's worth of family laundry in a single Extra-Large load for under $8.
How much does it cost to dry?
Drying is incredibly affordable at just $0.25 per cycle. The time per cycle varies by dryer size:
- Small dryers: 5 minutes per $0.25 cycle
- Large dryers: 4 minutes per $0.25 cycle
- Giant dryers: 3 minutes per $0.25 cycle
Most loads dry completely in $1.00–$2.00 worth of dryer time, depending on the load size and fabric type. Our commercial-grade dryers are significantly more powerful than home dryers, so your clothes dry faster.
Are you cheaper than other laundromats?
Yes! Our prices are competitive with or lower than other laundromats in the Twin Falls area. Plus, you get the added benefits of 24/7 access, brand-new Speed Queen equipment (opened 2023), free WiFi, and a spotlessly clean facility. You're getting more value for every dollar spent here.
Is it cheaper to wash here or at home?
Our commercial machines handle much bigger loads than home washers. Our 70 lb Extra-Large machine handles what would take 4–5 home washer loads. When you factor in time savings, water, electricity, and detergent costs, doing large batches here is often cheaper and always faster than running multiple home loads.
How much money should I bring?
Plan on $5 to $15 for a typical visit, depending on load size and how many machines you use. We accept cashless payments including credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and the Speed Queen app, so you don't even need cash!
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept a wide range of payment methods for your convenience:
- Speed Queen mobile app — pay and start machines from your phone
- Credit & debit cards — Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover
- Apple Pay & Google Pay — contactless NFC tap-to-pay
- Coins — quarters accepted at all machines
- Cash — via our on-site change machines ($1, $5, $10, $20 bills)
No matter how you prefer to pay, we've got you covered.
Can I pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Yes! All machines at TF Handy Wash accept Apple Pay and Google Pay via contactless NFC tap-to-pay. Hold your phone or smartwatch near the payment reader, confirm, and your cycle starts. No cash or coins needed.
Do you have change machines?
Yes! Our on-site change machines accept $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills and dispense quarters. If you prefer using coins, you can break your bills right here. Of course, you can also skip coins entirely and pay with card, phone, or the Speed Queen app.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes! TF Handy Wash accepts all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover at every machine. Just swipe, tap, or insert your card and go.
What washer sizes do you have?
We offer four washer sizes to handle any load:
- Small (2-load / 20 lb): $2.75 — perfect for a quick personal load
- Medium (4-load / 40 lb): $5.25 — great for couples or a few days' laundry
- Large (6-load / 55 lb): $6.50 — ideal for families or weekly laundry
- Extra-Large (7-load / 70 lb): $7.75 — handles comforters, bulk loads, and more

What makes TF Handy Wash different from other laundromats?
TF Handy Wash is the only true 24/7 laundromat in Twin Falls, featuring the newest Speed Queen equipment (opened 2023), full cashless payment, free WiFi, Speed Queen app integration, and machines up to 70 lbs in a spotlessly clean facility. No other laundromat in the Magic Valley offers this combination.
How does TF Handy Wash compare to national laundromat chains?

Is a laundromat faster than washing at home?
Yes, much faster. At TF Handy Wash, our 70 lb machines handle what would take 4–5 home washer loads. Run multiple machines at once and finish all your laundry in about one hour. Our commercial Speed Queen dryers are also faster and more powerful than home dryers.
When is the best time to visit TF Handy Wash?
Off-peak times with the most machine availability:
- Weekday mornings: 6–10 AM
- Weekday evenings: 8 PM to midnight
- Late night: anytime after midnight
The busiest times tend to be weekend mornings through mid-afternoon. Use the Speed Queen app to check real-time machine availability before your visit.
Do I need to bring my own detergent?
You can bring your own detergent if you have a preferred brand, but you don’t have to. TF Handy Wash has on-site vending machines that sell single-use detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets, so you can grab what you need at the start of your visit. Some customers also pick up supplies from nearby stores in advance.
How long does a typical visit take?
Most customers finish in about an hour. A regular wash cycle runs 30–35 minutes (40–45 for heavy-duty), and most dryer loads take another 20–40 minutes. If you run multiple machines at once — common for families or travelers with multiple loads — a full week of laundry can finish in roughly the same hour. The Speed Queen app monitors cycles from your phone.
Do you offer wash-and-fold or drop-off service?
TF Handy Wash is a self-service laundromat — there is no wash-and-fold or drop-off service at this location. Customers load, wash, dry, and fold their own laundry. The trade-off is that you save money by handling it yourself, and the Speed Queen commercial machines finish faster than home washers. For commercial volume, contact us directly to discuss options.
Can I bring my children to the laundromat?
Yes, families are welcome at TF Handy Wash. The facility has comfortable seating, free WiFi, and a laptop workspace, which families often use to keep kids occupied during cycles. Children should be supervised at all times around the commercial Speed Queen equipment. There is no separate kids’ area, so plan with snacks, books, or devices to keep them comfortable through the visit.
What should I do if a machine has a problem during my visit?
Call (208) 731-5745 or email help@tfhandywash.com to report the issue. There are multiple Speed Queen washers and dryers available, so we recommend moving your laundry to another machine to finish your cycle. The team will follow up about the equipment problem and any next steps from there.
