Formerly the Babbitt Laundromat, we purchased the laundry business in 2010 and gave it a catchy new name, a thorough cleaning, and a fresh coat of paint. In addition to upgrading equipment throughout the years, we also removed a wall and created a seating area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e91c635b77677828bc763/1616958278809-8IFLX0P2YR7NA6N73S4O/maude-frederique-lavoie-EDSTj4kCUcw-unsplash.jpg Home :: Lost Sock LLC Self-Service Laundry - Successful laundering. Will more detergent make cleaner clothes? Surprisingly, no, quite the opposite. Seeing those bubbles might give you a warm sudsy feeling, but it could be wreaking havoc on your clothes and our washers. Should you dry on highest heat? Rarely. Unless your load includes heavy, water-holding fabric, high heat usually is not necessary. https://lostsockllc.com/misc daily 0.75 2021-03-28 https://lostsockllc.com/about daily 0.75 2025-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e91c635b77677828bc763/1617066777575-ZEBUS7JHK4YJ962KHX81/owners.jpg About Us :: Lost Sock LLC - Meet the owner. Originally from central Iowa, Rob and Katie relocated to northeast Minnesota in 2005 so they could spend more time fishing. They bought the laundromat shortly after moving to Babbitt in 2010. Sadly, Rob passed away in 2022. Although many expected Katie to move back to Iowa, she’s too in love with the community to leave! Though she doesn’t keep scheduled hours at the laundry, you’ll regularly catch Katie cleaning the equipment and facility or laundering linens for a local resort. She’s always a phone call away if you need help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e91c635b77677828bc763/9b98c85b-c231-41a8-b80e-ec0e8fb659b5/FB_IMG_1724035771142.jpg About Us :: Lost Sock LLC - Proud sponsor. These days, when they’re not at their full-time jobs or the laundromat, you’ll spot Katie and Travis on the bike, often on a charity ride, or volunteering at community events.
