What's a washateria? A 24-hour Houston laundromat.
In Houston and across the Texas Gulf Coast, a washateria is what a lot of people call a laundromat — a clean, self-service public laundry where you wash and dry your clothes. Wash Bodega is exactly that, on W Bellfort in 77035.
Washateria = laundromat.
A washateria is a self-service public laundry with coin- or card-operated washers and dryers.
