Here in the USA, I have never seen a self-service laundry that did not have dryers, but I don't know whether that is true worldwide. I suppose it is best to err on the side of caution and include a subtag for the presence of dryers.

covers it nicely. In the U.S., we use the term laundromat and I would much prefer to use that scheme but the established tag is shop=laundry.


do we imply driers as well? Should we have a subtag?

The staffed laundries often offer also dry cleaning, which I've never seen in an automated one, and the wiki suggests a different main tag for them: shop=dry_cleaning

IMHO, as apparently there are mixed types, it would be better to organize this as subtags within the laundry tag, e.g. dry_cleaning=yes/no/only

cheers,
Martin
