Poorly maintained laundromat dryers force customers to pay for 2-3 cycles

Commercial dryers in laundromats frequently fail to dry clothes in a single cycle, forcing customers to feed additional quarters for a second or third run. The root cause is almost always clogged lint traps and exhaust vents that the operator hasn't cleaned, which traps moisture inside the drum and extends drying time dramatically. A customer paying $2.50 per dryer cycle who needs two cycles is effectively paying a 100% surcharge because of operator neglect. For a family doing 8 loads per month, that's an extra $20/month or $240/year in wasted dryer costs. The customer can't diagnose whether the dryer is broken or just slow before inserting coins, and once money is in, there's no refund if clothes come out damp. This persists because laundromat operators face no performance standards for drying effectiveness, customers have no way to rate or report underperforming machines in real time, and the operator actually benefits from machines that require multiple paid cycles.
