A shop to wash or dry clothes and bedding with larger than normal washing machines and gas powered dryers, that generally operate faster and more environmentally friendly.
Might be self service coin operated, with service staff for drop off. Also known as a "laundromat" or "launderette" or "laundrette".
To specify payment, use payment=*. It will often be payment:coins=yes.

Similar tags
- shop=dry_cleaning - A separate tag for a shop which (primarily) offers a dry cleaning service. This is a special cleaning procedure (normally more expensive)
- amenity=lavoir - place for hand washing
- amenity=washing_machine + payment:coins=yes - free-standing washing machine for example in the parking lot.
- amenity=washing_machine would be also applicable to washing machine internal to dormitory/marina etc, if mappable at all. Mapping them with shop=laundry is definitely wrong
