Doing laundry at pofq.

[kasey1988]

We will be staying at pofq for 11 days, there is on,y 2 of us but I'm thinking we will need to do a small load of laundry at some point. What is the cost? Is laundry detergent available? Thanks!

Not sure on cost and yes you can buy detergent. But I would prob just bring enough for a load from home. Save some $$$.

Washing machines and dryers are located in laundry rooms near to each of the quiet pools at Riverside and also behind Mardi Grogs (near to the Doubloon Lagoon pool) at French Quarter. Washing costs $2 per load, and individual portions of various detergents/etc — currently Tide, Clorox, Ultra-Downy and Bounce — are available for a further $1 if you haven’t brought your own. The dryers now cost $2 per hour, but if you have a big load you may still find that you need to use more than one cycle to get your clothes fully dry.

Note: all of the laundry machines near Port Orleans Riverside’ quiet pools use coins (quarters) for payment, but as from April 2013 the washers and dryers in the laundry room at French Quarter now ONLY accept credit/debit cards — you cannot use cash, nor can you pay using your Key to the World card.

Buy the Purex 3 in 1's . Goes from washer to dryer...all in one sheet. I buy a box and put them in a ziplock bag and keep them in one of the suitcases. Always on hand and makes the suitcase smell great!

There are little travel tides at target. It is enough for 1 load. It is in a pouch. Perfect even for washing out bathing suits.

Yep this.
I got a big surprise this June when I went to do laundry. I had all of my quarters all ready to go and got there to find they only take CC now. The bonus is they are all brand new machines.

I can't find those anymore, at what store do you buy them?

Walmart, usually. There are other brands as wel, but I like the smell of Purex the best.

For $14.99 you get a detergent cup you can refill at any resort.

Seriously though, thanks for asking because I had the same question!

They do not sell them at my walmart anymore. I have not seen them in a couple of years, I thought they stopped making them. Maybe I will ask if anyone can get them in.

Remembering those days of bringing a couple of rolls of quarters in my suitcase just to have with me to do loads of laundry somewhere in the second half of our vacation. Then using the left over quarters to play arcade games so I wouldnt have to bring the loose change home.
