To sign 'laundry room,' you will combine the signs for 'laundry' and 'room.' First, hold both hands in curved, claw-like shapes with your palms facing each other, and twist them back and forth in opposite directions to mimic a washing machine. Then, change both hands to flat shapes and use them to outline the four walls of a box, representing a room.
Point down the hall to establish the location, then sign 'laundry room' by twisting your clawed hands and outlining a box.
Sign 'my clothes', then 'leave', and finish with the compound sign for 'laundry room' to specify exactly where you left them.
Sign 'laundry room', then 'open', making sure to raise your eyebrows at the end of the sentence to indicate a yes/no question.

If you are specifically referring to the physical space (the laundry room), you should include the 'room' sign. If you just mean doing the laundry itself, you can drop the 'room' part and just use the twisting motion.
Usually, two or three quick, alternating twists are enough. You don't need to keep twisting them continuously; just a brief churning motion gets the point across before transitioning smoothly into the sign for 'room'.
While this sign specifically means 'laundry room' (like in a house or dorm), a laundromat is often signed as 'laundry' plus 'store' or 'laundry' plus 'place.' However, in a casual context, people will usually understand your meaning.
