TF Handy Wash, the 24/7 Laundromat Near Murtaugh
Murtaugh does not have a 24 hour laundromat, and after a weekend on the lake or a wrestling meet at the school, the home washer is no match for a pile of soaked towels, neoprene, and singlets. TF Handy Wash sits sixteen miles west at 664 Shoup Ave W in Twin Falls, an easy run on US-30 with Speed Queen washers big enough for a king comforter and a boat cover at the same time.
For Murtaugh families with lake days and farm shifts
Murtaugh Lake is half the reason summer feels short out here. A morning on the water leaves you with towels that smell like algae, life jackets that smell like trout, and a tube cover sticky with sunscreen. Then there is the rest of the week. Grain dust on every shirt, school colors that need to be ready for the next Friday night, and a mountain of cotton socks that the home dryer just keeps spitting out damp.
TF Handy Wash is built for that. The Speed Queen 70 lb XL washer handles a season of lake gear in one cycle. The 40 lb and 55 lb machines knock out a normal week of farm clothes in about an hour. Pay with quarters from the change machine, a card, or the Speed Queen app under Location Code HANDYW. Lights are on at 2 a.m. the same as 2 p.m., and the doors do not lock for holidays.
Getting here from Murtaugh
From the fire station on US-30 in Murtaugh, head west on US-30 for about sixteen miles. You will roll through Hansen, past the canyon side fields, and into the east side of Twin Falls where US-30 becomes Addison Avenue East. Stay on Addison until Washington Street, turn south for a block, then west onto Shoup Avenue. We are at 664 Shoup Ave W on the south side of the street between Washington and Locust. About twenty minutes door to door.
Parking is free and right in front. The lot is flat and lit at night, which matters if you are loading a wet boat cover or a hamper of football pads after dark.

Why Murtaugh residents end up at TF Handy Wash
The Murtaugh customers we see are usually one of three folks. The lake weekenders with a pile of towels, boat cover, and a couple of sleeping bags that all smell like reservoir water. The school sports parents hauling a stack of wrestling singlets, basketball jerseys, or football pads home from a meet. And the farm families clearing out a winter of coveralls and barn coats in one Saturday afternoon. The XL drums clear all three in one trip.
Coming in from west of town toward Hansen, the run is the same straight shot. If you commute into Twin Falls already, drop the load on your way home, run an errand, and pick up clean clothes before you head back to Murtaugh. No waiting for a place to open in the morning.
