Time/week spent: 10h - 20h

Running a coin laundromat and wash-and-fold business typically requires a time commitment ranging from 10 to 20 hours per week. Initially, you might spend more time setting up the business, arranging equipment, and establishing processes, which could take closer to the 20-hour mark. Tasks involved in managing this side hustle include machine maintenance, restocking supplies, handling customer service, managing finances, and marketing. As you settle into a routine and streamline operations, the time commitment may decrease to around 10 hours per week. Online communities suggest that this side hustle can be managed on a part-time basis, with a more intensive time requirement at the start and potential for reduced hours once the business is established.
