记忆法：laundro像laundry（洗衣），mat是垫子；想象自助洗衣店的洗衣机下垫着垫子，投币即洗。
语域：neutral 常见场景：everyday errands、storefront signs 该词属于日常用语，多用于口语和一般书面语，语气比较中性；在非常正式的场合可考虑说 self-service laundry，但平常对话中用 laundromat 很自然。
共同拼写部分是 mat。mat、doormat、bathmat、placemat、automat 末尾的 /mæt/ 与 laundromat 末尾读音相同；format 虽也以 -mat 拼写，但重音在首音节，末音节无重音，读音模式不同，不要当作押韵词。
