El Rio Laundry III 101 East Stilwell Avenue, De Queen, AR 71832

"This is the one next to friendship Baptist church. We found the facility nice and clean and everything in working order. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is the lack of laundry carts. We was hesitant due to mixed reviews but it seems to me that the owner has turned this place around. Also price is middle of the road. We’ve found some higher and some lower than this one in our travels."

"I went on Thursday morning around 10 am. The quarter change machine was out of quarters. I had to remove my laundry from 3 machines, pack it back up and leave. I wasn't going to leave my clothing unattended while I went to get quarters elsewhere. I was angry. Lesson learned, Don't trust these places to have quarters. Also, about 1 in 4 machines have out of order signs. Many are dirty. One had gravel in it!"

"A spacious area to do your laundry. A machine is usually always available. Could use some updated hardware. Others have complained of Dryers not drying but I have never had that experience. Best to go in the early morning. It's open 24 hrs a day. There is no attendant on duty so should you run into a problem, you are on your own. The machines do work well and if you have many loads, there are many machines. Better to spend 2-3 hours here than your whole weekend doing laundry at home or a friends, or even an apartment complex. For the most part the patrons that go here are polite and courteous to each other and give you a caution if a machine is not working right."

"We are new to this area and this is our first try in any of the laundromats around here. Most washing machines are new, $2 for a small front load, I would expect to pay less for this part of the world but it does its job. They also have some older top load machine for $1.75. The dryers are good, a quarter gets you 7 min, pretty decent compared to the others I’ve been to and they are powerful."
