24-Hour Laundromat on Merle Hay Road
Table of Contents
Merle Hay Road is the northwest Des Moines store people mean when they search for a laundromat on the Merle Hay corridor. The building is at 4347 Merle Hay Rd, Des Moines, IA 50310, with its own phone, 515-505-3509. It is not the Beaver Avenue store, even though both sit in the 50310 ZIP. Beaver is a separate self-service floor a short drive south. If you need drop-off wash and fold, this Merle Hay store is one of the three that take it. Beaver does not.
Use Merle Hay when you want a 24-hour self-service floor on the north side and the option to hand a bag to an attendant during staffed hours. Comforters and other bulky loads fit the larger washers here; the largest washer published for this store is 80 lb. FasCard is the laundry card. East 33rd uses Laundroworks instead, so a FasCard from Merle Hay is for the FasCard stores, not that east-side floor.
The pin on Google for this store should show 4347 Merle Hay Rd and 515-505-3509. The website on that listing is the Merle Hay location page, not the company homepage and not a different store.
Store facts for Merle Hay Road#
The Laundry Place Merle Hay Road is at 4347 Merle Hay Rd, Des Moines, IA 50310. Phone 515-505-3509.
Self-service hours: Open 24/7. Open doors overnight do not mean an attendant is on site overnight.
The location page lists 34 washers and 32 dryers. Live availability on that page is the count to trust when you are deciding whether to drive over. The largest washer published for this store is 80 lb. Published washer sizes are 20, 30, 40, 60, 80 lb.
Payment uses a FasCard laundry card. You can load the card at the kiosk. The check-balance page explains kiosk reloads, the convenience fee, and the difference between a kiosk load and swiping a bank card on a machine reader. East 33rd does not use this FasCard.
In-store wash-and-fold drop-off is offered at this store, along with Merle Hay, Clive, and South Ankeny. Drop-off needs an attendant on site. Store hours and staffed drop-off hours are not the same thing. Call 515-505-3509 or check the location page for today's attendant hours. Bulky-item pickup (rugs, pillows, and similar pieces) can be scheduled from this store. Everyday wash and fold is in-store drop-off, not a house-to-house laundry route. See the pickup and delivery page and the drop-off page. This page does not quote a per-pound price. The drop-off page carries the live rate.
The canonical page for this store is the Merle Hay Road location page. That is the URL the Google listing should use. This guide explains how to choose the store. The location page is where hours, the map, and the live floor stay current. All nine stores are on the locations page. Posted hours for the fleet are on the hours page.
How to plan the visit#
- Sort colors and bulky items before you leave. A comforter needs a large washer, and mixing it with jeans wastes the drum.
- Bring your laundry card, or plan to add value at the kiosk before you start a machine.
- Check the location page for live machine availability if the trip is time-sensitive.
- If you need drop-off, confirm you are at Merle Hay, Clive, or South Ankeny, and call ahead for attendant hours.
- If you need a machine after midnight, use a store whose hours say open 24/7. University, Fleur Drive, and SE 14th close at midnight.
