Success In Waterloo Brings Fourth Location

On April 21st, we opened our doors to the public at 215 Franklin St., next to the All-In Grocery that is under construction. This is our fourth laundromat in Waterloo, and our 35th location in the country, and we’re excited to keep bringing the CLEAN in CLEAN LAUNDRY for you!

Why Clean Laundry??

In 2014, father-son duo Phil and Ethan Akin opened the first Clean Laundry in Waterloo. They later welcomed Phil’s other son Wesley to the business. Positive customer feedback and multi-location success sparked investment from Clickstop Inc., which acquired the brand in 2018. The Akin family continues to open and operate Clean Laundry stores in Waterloo, Dubuque, Fort Dodge, Oskaloosa and Milwaukee. Today, the Clean Laundry chain has over 30 locations in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas, Ohio, Missouri, Florida, Arizona, and Texas.

All locations around the country are equipped with the Clean Laundry design style with bright LED lights, STAINLESS STEEL EXPRESS MACHINES, and technology including high-speed free WiFi, security surveillance video monitors, and MOBILE-PAY OPTIONS. Customers can expect a clean environment to do laundry with added benefits like soft water and super-sized machines that wash and dry within an hour. Saving you time and money!

Putting The CLEAN In Clean Laundry

Phil Akin has been in the laundromat business since the 1980s, he knows the industry in and out and feels strongly about providing a great laundromat experience to all guests. “We set out to make the chore of doing laundry the best part of our customer’s day. Our facilities put a strong emphasis on being the cleanest laundromat that focuses on giving our customer’s time back” says Akin. “We say it’s about time, meaning that it’s time for everyone in Waterloo to get a nice place to do laundry, and not have to spend all day at the laundromat.”

A Spin In The Future?

Our next stores to open will be located in Wisconsin, Arizona, Kansas, and South Carolina.
