You have to try one of these, very versatile.
Take the gas money you save and buy a 2nd hand washer.
When I were a lad we had a "spin dryer". Small cheap portable thing that just spun. Very lightweight, in fact so lightweight somebody had to sit on it to make it stay still.
It's called "unnecessary".
Makes more sense to move what you own from one rented place to another in the same town or when moving from one owned/mortgaged house to another.
That one I helped is just having their first house built and I will no doubt be helping them move their stuff the current rented town house to the newly built house.
I thought you'd like that.

I move most of what is IN the house, but not the house.
There was a laundromat attached to a casino a few blocks from where I work. I'd been there a few times but they had front loaders and I preferred the top loaders across down. When the top loaders were replaced by new front loaders, I figured I might as well go to the closer one. Bit of a surprise when I found it's now a liquor store. Must be more money in booze than dirty laundry.
I'm not into gambling but when it was operational I noticed many patrons disappearing into the casino while the clothes went around.
I'd prefer the method perfected by John Steinbeck in 'Travels With Charlie'. Put the clothes, water, and detergent in a garbage can in back of the van and drive down a few rough roads.
The search results say Walmart and Home Depot have 'Tubtrugs' which appear to be the same. I may have even seen them in Home Depot and didn't realize what they were.
My wife's aunt had a prehistoric machine that had an 'extractor' I think she used it as a vibrator. The one we had when I was a kid didn't have the extractor but did have the feared wringer. I liked laundry day since I could sail my pirate ship in the rinse tub.
Do you have a Hills Hoist?
One of my millennial neighbors actually congratulated me on saving so much energy.
Nope, I use plastic rope between rings set into the block wall and the metal fence.
cos I sort my clothes into two types for washing
I have one basket for each
I don't have two washing machines

Sorry Granddad, "What's a laundromat "?
I was guesstimating based on 16 O.C. studs.
The fool who previously owned my house cut a whopping big hole in the bottom of the vanity, the floor, and the 1x6 T&G subfloor so he could drop his laundry into the basement.
We closed up that fire hazard when we remodeled the bathroom.

It's what Americans call a launderette.
Really? What part of the US calls them that?
America: laundromat Britain: launderette
"Trunk" is what Americans call a "boot".
