New to Great American? Check our hours, payment options, and machine sizes—then see Wash & Fold, ozone, pickup & delivery status, and commercial service to choose what’s right for you.

Getting Started (General)

We’re open 5:00 AM–12:00 AM (midnight) daily at all locations. For best results, please start your final wash at least 60 minutes before midnight so dryers can finish comfortably. Staffed hours vary by store; see each location card for attendant times and drop-off windows.

Madison Street: attended 8:00 AM–6:00 PM daily. Fort Campbell Blvd: attended 8:45 AM–4:30 PM daily. Oak Grove (Thompsonville Lane): self-service only; no staff on site.

We accept coins and cards. Pay by credit/debit, FasCard at Fort Campbell Blvd & Thompsonville Lane, and Laundroworks at Madison Street. Visit our store to obtain a card, never worry about using coins at the laundromat again, and earn rewards back just for doing your laundry.

Yes. Each store includes 6- and 8-loader machines for comforters, blankets, and big family loads. Our attendants can help you choose the best size to save time and money while protecting fabrics.

Clean, well-lit laundromats with roomy folding space, carts, seating, and convenient parking. Attendants are available at Madison (8:00 AM–6:00 PM) and Fort Campbell (8:45 AM–4:30 PM); Oak Grove is self-service. Many guests bring headphones, coffee, or kids’ activities. For machine sizes, payment options, and store-specific extras, see each Location page.

Self-service wash prices vary by machine size. Standard front-load washers start at approximately $3.50–$4.50 per cycle. Larger capacity machines for comforters and bulk loads are priced higher. All machines are card-operated — no coins required. Stop by or call your nearest location for current pricing on specific machine sizes.

We're open daily from 5:00 AM to midnight at all three locations — not quite 24 hours, but close. Last wash is recommended at least one hour before close to allow for a full dry cycle. Hours may vary on major holidays. Check our Locations page for each store's current schedule.

Wash & Fold (Drop-Off)

Madison Street: 8:00 AM–6:00 PM. Ft. Campbell Blvd: 8:45 AM–4:30 PM. Turnaround is typically 24–48 hours; same-day may be available—ask an attendant upon drop-off.

Standard Wash & Fold drop-off in Clarksville is ready within 24–48 hours. Same-day service may be available — call your location before dropping off. Delicate or air-dry items may take slightly longer. We'll notify you when your order is complete.

Yes, $15 minimum per order.

Your laundry is never mixed with anyone else's. Every Wash & Fold order is tagged, washed, dried, and folded separately from the moment you drop it off. Your clothing stays yours from start to finish.

We use premium detergents and softeners. Specialty products are available on request; tell us about stains or color-bleed concerns and we’ll note your preferences on the order.

Yes — walk-ins are always welcome during staffed hours. No appointment needed for Wash & Fold drop-off. Madison Street attendants are available 8:00 AM–6:00 PM. Fort Campbell Blvd attendants are available 8:45 AM–4:30 PM. Drop off, go live your life, and we'll handle the rest.

Yes. When you drop off, let the attendant know your preferences — folded flat, rolled, hung, or separated by family member. We do our best to honor preferences on every order. If you have specific instructions for delicates or specialty items, note those at drop-off as well.

Items & Care

Yes—our large-capacity machines handle bulky items. For heavily soiled rugs or pet items, tell us upfront so we can recommend the best process (e.g., extra rinse, lower heat, or air-dry) to protect backings and fillings.

Place items in a tied laundry or trash bag; note stains, delicates, and any “air-dry only” pieces in Special Instructions. Separate dry-clean-only items; we’ll advise if an item isn’t suitable for our process.

Ozone Technology

Ozone Laundry Technology uses ozone gas to sanitize and deep-clean fabrics at the molecular level — eliminating 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and odors without relying on hot water or heavy chemicals. Great American Laundromat is the only laundromat in Clarksville, TN offering Sanowash Ozone Technology, available at our Madison Street and Fort Campbell Blvd locations.

Yes! Ozone is gentler than traditional washing. It helps preserve fabric quality and is ideal for sensitive skin because it uses fewer chemicals and less detergent.

Yes, but you’ll use less. Ozone boosts your detergent’s cleaning power, so you get better results with fewer suds and less residue.

Ozone offers a cleaner, fresher result with less soap, lower energy use, and better fabric care—all while helping the environment.

Our Madison Street and Fort Campbell Blvd locations are the only laundromats in the area offering Sanowash Ozone Technology.

Pickup & Delivery

Residential Pickup & Delivery is temporarily on hold while we upgrade routes and capacity. Please call the store for the latest status. In the meantime, Wash & Fold drop-off is available daily, and commercial accounts remain open—request a quote anytime.

Monday–Saturday, typically 8:00 AM–4:00 PM. No Sunday routes; Friday pickups deliver Monday. We do not operate delivery routes on Sunday.

Standard turnaround is ~48 hours. Friday pickups usually return Monday. High volume or special care may add time. Please note that our routes are closed on Sunday so any orders scheduled for pickup on Friday will be delivered on Monday.

This service is priced very reasonably at $2.25 per pound when used on an occasional, as-needed basis. Schedule your laundry regularly with us and save money. Regularly scheduled laundry is priced at $2.10 per pound.

You don’t need to be home. Leave bags in a secure, noted spot (porch, behind gate, unlocked garage) and add instructions in your order.

It is simple. Just click on the "Schedule a Pickup" Button in the upper right hand corner and create an account, choose one-time or recurring, set your pickup window, and add Preferences (always) or Special Instructions (this order only). You’ll get confirmations by email/text.

Yes. At checkout you’ll see two options:

  • Preferences — your saved defaults for every order (e.g., fragrance-free, low heat, air-dry).

  • Special Instructions — one-time notes for this order (e.g., “please spot-treat the coffee stain on the blue shirt”).
    We apply Preferences automatically and follow Special Instructions for that pickup only.

No contract required for residential. You can book as needed or set a recurring schedule. (Commercial terms available.) 

We charge after cleaning and weigh-out. You’ll see the final weight, rate, and total in your receipt.
