Frequently Asked Questions

Open 24 hours- 7 days a week

Our front-loading washers and gas-powered dryers are fast. Most wash cycles take around 25 minutes, and dryer times are typically around 35 minutes. How would you like to get a week’s worth of laundry (or even a month’s worth) done in under an hour?

We have several sizes of machines available in several different settings. They accept coins as well as credit cards, right on the machines themselves. We also offer a drop-off laundry service.

We offer the lowest cost per load of laundry than just about anywhere in town. The more laundry you’re able to combine together into a single larger size machine, the less it costs per pound of laundry.

We started a loyalty program where after 10 washes, the next wash is free on any size machine-which can save you some serious money!

Our smallest size washers are our single-Top load washers, start at $2.50. Our front-loading washers start at 3 loads and hold about three times as much as a typical top load washer does, or about 30 lbs. of laundry. Our four-load washers start at $5, and we also have six-load and even eight-load washers.

Our dryers start at 25 cents for 7 minutes and hold about three loads of laundry, or about 30 lbs. We also have five load dryers.

Sunshine Laundry’s busiest days of the week are Sunday and Saturday, with the most business occurring between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.  And what is the “best” time to come in? Weekday mornings between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. are the least crowded.

It depends on the actual size of your comforter. Selecting the right washer is as simple as trying it on for size. If you put the comforter into the washer and you find yourself using your shoulder in order to get the door shut, you probably ought to use a larger washer. On the other hand, our front load washers actually work better when they are more than half full. In fact, you can fill the washer nearly completely full, just don’t stuff it tight. Leave a little room for the water.

Yes! There is an attendant on duty at Sunshine Laundry.

Absolutely! Whether you’re short on time or would just rather have someone else take care of the laundry, we are your one-stop solution. We specialize in drop off laundry services and often wash larger items such as comforters, sleeping bags, and more. 

We have several options available, but our “default” is Tide Pods., we also offer scent-free hypoallergenic detergent and softener. Just let us know what you’d prefer when dropping off your laundry! If you would like to provide your preferred detergent or softener for us to use for your order then that is fine, too.

No, we do not offer these services. However, many items (including most comforters) that say “dry-clean only” on their tags can be washed without any issues. Feel free to check with any of our friendly attendants if you are not certain if your item can be washed or not. Dropping your comforter off with us to be washed can be significantly cheaper than having it drycleaned – it’s our specialty!

We are at 4132 Manzanita Ave, Carmichael, CA 95608. It is in the same parking lot as the Goodwill store and Med 7 urgent care.

No, Sunshine Laundry is a locally owned and operated family business. You could say that we are a few of the little people that make the world go ’round. SMALL BUSINESS = AWESOME!
