Just in case anybody is "laundry-impaired", I wanted to note that the "LARGE
washers WITHOUT AGITATORS" refers to large, FRONT LOAD washers; the kind
with a window in the front that opens like a dryer.  As far as the "2 rinse
cycles", I would guess you would simply have to pay for a second wash, and
use no detergent. I don't know of any coin-op laundromat that lets you do a
"double rinse".

I just thought this might be worthwhile information, because there are a lot
of people who have never seen a front load washer. I didn't see a real one
until I was about 20, although I'd seen them frequently in various cartoons!
There are 3 laundromats in my town, and not one of them has a front load.
