For comparison, a household in Milwaukee running three loads a week at a typical $5.00 a load spends about $65 a month at the laundromat, before the driving and the waiting. Renting here starts beating that at roughly 3 loads a week. Under that and the laundromat is genuinely cheaper, which is worth knowing before you call anyone.
