launderette 

Where you go when you gotta get some clothes washed/dried and you don't want anyone to know.

They got a bunch of coin-operating machines. These places aren't as common, but you can still find 'em if you search. Some of them let you dry your clothes for only 25¢ - at least the grimy looking launderette in my town does that.
I don't know what happened, but somehow I messed up my pants. I swear I don't know how that happened. Anyways... I'm headed over to the launderette - it'll be a waste of water and electricity to use all that energy on just my pants... but I just gotta do it.

Launderetiquette 

Launderetiquette is the often unspoken rules or etiquette and culture around using a launderette.

Although a poster may decalre that, "those using washers have priority use of driers", it's not always obvious who's gets to use any particulary piece of machinery, washer or drier.

Launderetiquette is the angst felt by many novice launderer.
Stephen (at the launderette): Uh, sorry guys, I'm not trying to push in, but is that drier free? Only, I'm not sure what the launderetiquette is round here!
Nigel: That's my drier! You'll have to wait! You can't just wander in here and start using driers - can't you see the sign?
