Show f t 4 The Magna Time, West Valley Newt & 11 Keamt Chronicle, April 11, 2002 Business Doing the laundry has gone high-tecAt least at the new Plaza 35 laundromat, which features a computer operated payment system that is tied into each washing machine and dryer. "The new smartcards allows some opportunities to take care of customers in a way that we couldn't before," said owner Steve Bumett. "If a machine malfunctions we can instantly credit the user and then take care of the problems from tomer service," Bumett said. The smartcard is reusable. Customers of Plaza 35 simply deposit money into the machine, which takes bills up to $20, and the computer adds the amount to the card. The card can then be insert- ' ed into washing machines and dryers and the cost of each machine is subtracted from the smartcard by the h. the computer database. "If we need to increase ' prices, we can do it without having to change each machine," Bumett said. "We can also increase the prices by just the amount needed instead of having to increase it by a quarter or a dime to '.meet h needs of traditional Iauriclrbmat coin machines." ..

The most popular washer at Plaza 35 is the triple front loader that can handle 25 pounds of clothes and is equal to three loads of laundry in a top loader. "The triple loader uses less soap that top loaders and can do three loads of laundry in less than the time it would take to do one load .at home," Bumett said. ' Bumett said that the friology of a front loader also ' ' : . '' keeps clothes cleaner since soapy water from the first cycle drains out the side of the washer instead of having to go down through the clothes to drain from the bottom the way top loaders work. "In a top loader, all that dirty water is going back through your clothes when it drains," Bumett said. Plaza 35 also has a water softener so that clothes are not washed in Magna's hard water. Cost of the machines run from $1 .50 for a top loader, $3.00 for a triple loader and $5.50 for use of the front loader. Dryers are $.25 for 10 minutes of drying time.
