Clean Clothes, Strong Community
Wash Commons is a cooperatively owned laundromat and community space where profits flow back to the people who use it.
More Than Just Laundry
A cooperatively owned laundromat that serves as a third space for community building
Cooperative Ownership
Owned by the community members who use it, with decisions made democratically using our blockchain voting system
Third Space

Community Surplus
All profits beyond operating costs are returned to the community through dividends, events, and neighborhood improvement projects
Returning Value to the Community
How we ensure the surplus value of our laundromat benefits everyone
