Calculate the Cost of a Visit (Wash + Dry)
The total cost is the wash price plus the number of drying increments used. Each increment is roughly 10 minutes; total drying time varies with the load and fabric.
In the table, n is the number of drying increments. Loyalty discounts both washing and drying by up to 20%.
At Croix-Daurade, d is the drying cost: d = n × 1.50 EUR with the 14 kg dryer or d = n × 2.00 EUR with the 16 kg dryer.
| Machine | Wash | Drying | Total formula | With maximum discount on the visit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 kg (Blagnac) | 4.90 EUR | n × 1.50 EUR | 4.90 EUR + n × 1.50 EUR | 0.80 × (4.90 EUR + n × 1.50 EUR) |
| 9 kg (Croix-Daurade) | 5.50 EUR | d | 5.50 EUR + d | 0.80 × (5.50 EUR + d) |
| 11 kg (Croix-Daurade) | 7.00 EUR | d | 7.00 EUR + d | 0.80 × (7.00 EUR + d) |
| 18 kg (Blagnac) | 9.80 EUR | n × 1.50 EUR | 9.80 EUR + n × 1.50 EUR | 0.80 × (9.80 EUR + n × 1.50 EUR) |
| 18 kg (Croix-Daurade) | 10.00 EUR | d | 10.00 EUR + d | 0.80 × (10.00 EUR + d) |
To plan a budget, calculate washes by frequency first, then add the drying increments actually used. See our detailed prices by location to compare rates.
Affordable Laundry for Students in Toulouse
Finding an affordable laundromat in Toulouse is a priority for any student budget. Between CROUS student halls and shared flats, optimising your laundry routine can save real money each month.
Student budget: how much does the laundromat cost?
For a student, a 9 kg wash costs 4.90 EUR at Blagnac or 5.50 EUR at Croix-Daurade. With the maximum loyalty discount, the wash price can drop to 3.92 EUR or 4.40 EUR respectively. Four washes per month therefore cost 19.60 EUR to 22 EUR, or 15.68 EUR to 17.60 EUR with the maximum discount. Then add drying, billed in roughly 10-minute increments according to the time actually needed.
Speed Queen Laundromat vs CROUS Residence Machine
The self-service laundromat becomes more cost-effective as soon as you have a large volume or need speed.
| Criterion | CROUS residence machine | Speed Queen laundromat |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 5-7 kg | 9-18 kg |
| Detergent | Bring your own (approx. 5 EUR/month) | Included (Ecocert) |
| Drying | Clothes rack (24-48 h) | Professional dryer in roughly 10-minute increments; variable total time |
| Availability | Often occupied | 7 to 11 machines |
| Duvets | Impossible (too large) | 18 kg machine available |
| Cost per cycle | Approx. 3 EUR + detergent | 4.90-5.50 EUR all-inclusive |
Loyalty Card and Student Tips
To get the best value, the loyalty programme is essential:
- Instant discount: up to 20% off washing and drying.
- Pool loads in a shared flat: at Croix-Daurade, use the 18 kg washer at 10 EUR instead of three 9 kg washers at 5.50 EUR (16.50 EUR). Saving: 6.50 EUR on the wash.
- Space out cycles: by using larger-capacity machines (11 kg or 18 kg) less often, you reduce the total monthly cost.
Public Transport Access from University Campuses
Our laundromats are conveniently located near main university hubs:
- North campuses (UT1 Capitole, UT2 Jean Jaures, northern halls): The Croix-Daurade laundromat is reachable via Metro B (Borderouge stop) then a 5-minute walk, or by bus lines 19 and 38.
- Aerospace campus (IUT Blagnac, ISAE-SUPAERO, Airbus): The Blagnac Andromede laundromat is a 2-minute walk from the Tramway T1 stop (Andromede-Lycee).
Study break tip
Use the 30-minute wash cycle to study on site or run errands nearby. The Speed Queen app (code TOU003 at Croix-Daurade) notifies you when your machine finishes.
Express Drying: A Student Budget Winner
Professional drying is particularly useful for students in studios or shared flats: no clothes rack cluttering the living space and a duration adjusted to the load. It is billed in roughly 10-minute increments; total time varies with the fabric.
Drying budget tip
The 14 kg dryer starts at 1.50 EUR per roughly 10-minute increment. Check the laundry between increments and add only the time needed: loyalty applies to washing and drying.
Key Periods in the Academic Year
Peak laundry volumes hit at the start of term and after holidays, when an 18 kg machine lets you process sheets, towels and clothes in a single load.
- September move-in: the busiest period (settling in, textile shopping, holiday returns). Scheduling an 18 kg load in the first week avoids a string of small emergency washes.
- January and May exams: free time drops sharply. Better to space out visits but load more, aiming for a full wash + dry cycle in a single slot.
- Post-holiday return: after Christmas or the summer, accumulated laundry (clothes, sheets, towels) often exceeds the capacity of a small residence machine. An 18 kg machine gets your textile stock back to normal in one visit.
Common Student Mistakes at the Laundromat
mesh laundry bag↗ — first-time laundromat visits in Toulouse lead to recurring mistakes. Knowing them saves time and money:
Overloading the machine to save money — filling a 9 kg machine to the brim seems logical, but compressed laundry does not wash or rinse properly. Better to fill two-thirds and get a clean result in one cycle.
Forgetting to empty pockets — tissues, coins, USB sticks: whatever stays in pockets ends up in the drum. Tissues disintegrate and stick to all the laundry.
Leaving for too long — the cycle takes 30 minutes. During peak times (Sunday, Monday evening), the grace period is very short. The Speed Queen app (code TOU003 at Croix-Daurade) notifies you when the cycle ends.
Not separating colours — a brand-new red t-shirt washed with white shirts can bleed and tint the entire load. A quick sort (whites, darks, lights) takes 2 minutes.
Cost Per Kilogram Analysis
| Machine | Price | Cost / kg | Cost / kg with maximum discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 kg Blagnac | 4.90 EUR | 0.54 EUR | 0.44 EUR |
| 9 kg Croix-Daurade | 5.50 EUR | 0.61 EUR | 0.49 EUR |
| 11 kg Croix-Daurade | 7.00 EUR | 0.64 EUR | 0.51 EUR |
| 18 kg Blagnac | 9.80 EUR | 0.54 EUR | 0.44 EUR |
| 18 kg Croix-Daurade | 10.00 EUR | 0.56 EUR | 0.44 EUR |
The 9 kg at Blagnac and the 18 kg machines offer the best value per kilogram at current prices. For loads over 10 kg, the 18 kg machine is generally cheaper than two 9 kg machines. Details in our guide on choosing your machine.
Speed Queen vs Other Laundromats in Toulouse
Laundromat prices in Toulouse vary depending on the brand, machine age and included services. Here is a comparison with average price ranges observed across the Toulouse area in 2026.
| Service | Toulouse average | Speed Queen Blagnac | Speed Queen Croix-Daurade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8-9 kg wash | 5-7 EUR | 4.90 EUR | 5.50 EUR |
| 18 kg wash | 9-13 EUR | 9.80 EUR | 10.00 EUR |
| Drying (10 min) | 1-2 EUR | 1.50 EUR | 1.50 EUR |
| Detergent included | Rarely | Yes (auto-dosed) | Yes (auto-dosed) |
| Loyalty | Varies | Up to -20% (card 5 EUR) | Up to -20% (free app) |
| 9 kg wash (drying billed separately) | 5-7 EUR + detergent | 4.90 EUR all-inclusive | 5.50 EUR all-inclusive |
The “Toulouse average” ranges are approximate figures from displayed prices at the main laundromat chains in the greater Toulouse area. The key difference is detergent: at most traditional laundromats, it is not included and must be purchased on site (0.50-1 EUR) or brought from home. At Speed Queen, professional detergent and fabric softener are automatically dosed and included in the displayed price.

Detergent and fabric softener automatically dosed and included in every wash, with machines suited to bulky loads.
Tips to Reduce Cost
Activate loyalty — up to 20% off washing and drying
Fill the machine properly — a drum three-quarters full optimises cost per kilogram
Pool loads at Croix-Daurade — the 18 kg washer at 10 EUR replaces three 9 kg washes at 5.50 EUR (16.50 EUR)
Use the dryer — from 1.50 EUR per roughly 10-minute increment, with variable total time
Space out visits — pooling laundry in the right capacity avoids unnecessary washes
Optimising Your Visit: Reducing the Real Cost
Beyond the displayed prices, a few smart choices at the laundromat make a real difference to the final cost.
Choose the Right Machine First Time
The most common mistake: picking a machine that is too small and having to run a second one. Two 9 kg machines cost 9.80 EUR at Blagnac (or 11 EUR at Croix-Daurade) — whereas one 18 kg machine costs 9.80 EUR or 10 EUR and handles twice the laundry. Check our guide for estimating laundry weight before coming.
Drying Time by Fabric Type
Drying is billed in roughly 10-minute increments. Check the laundry between increments: total time varies with the load, fabric and initial moisture level.
Drying is fast
Start with one roughly 10-minute increment, then check the laundry before adding another. Thick fabrics and larger loads may need more increments.
Consolidate Rather Than Multiply
If you have the choice, wait until you have enough laundry for a full load rather than coming twice with small loads. At Blagnac, two 9 kg washes and one 18 kg wash both total 9.80 EUR; at Croix-Daurade, two 9 kg washes cost 11 EUR versus 10 EUR for one 18 kg wash. Add drying according to the increments used.
Free parking at all our laundromats
Each laundromat has free parking at the entrance. Load your laundry into the car, park by the entrance, then adjust drying to your load and fabric.
Accepted Payment Methods
Both laundromats accept:
- Contactless card
- Cash (coins and notes, change given)
- Mobile payment
- Loyalty card (Blagnac) / Speed Queen app (Croix-Daurade)
No minimum card payment. No surcharge regardless of payment method.
