Driggs Ave Laundromat & Dry Cleaners

I was very happy when this laundromat opened. Unfortunately my happy bubble has been burst. The owners started to be cheap with water at your expense. You no longer have the ability to prewash your clothes which is actually an important part of the wash. If that was not enough you might want to wait and see how much water is used for the main wash. Not much. Enough to get your clothes wet but not enough to get them properly cleaned. Seriously, wait and see. At the end of the day you are paying the same price for half of what you used to get. Another example of a rip off.

Clean, new machines. TV and chairs while you wait. Bike pump across the street and a lovely deli. I would only recommend doing your own laundry. If there’s ever an issue with full-​service laundry or drycleaning, be prepared to be wrong. In this establishment, the customer is always wrong. I witnessed frustrated customers be treated very badly.

clean, friendly service, lots of seating. never been so busy that I can’t sit! varied washer sizes, too. close to grocery stores + coffee shops so you can multitask if that’s your jam.

I hardly ever feel compelled to write a review these days, but I feel so spoilt that this is my local laundromat.
So clean, so well looked after.
The few times I haven’t managed to get back in time before closing my clothes have been in a plastic wash & fold bag in the back for safe keeping.
I couldn’t ask for a cleaner, kinder laundry spot.

I walk past another laundromat to get to this one, and there are probably even more closer. The staff is polite without being overly friendly (which I prefer, really, when someone is handling my underwear) and they can sometimes do amazingly fast turnaround for wash & fold. Machines are big, clean, and well maintained – dryers get hot enough that drying time is cut down, which means saving money.
The only downside is that it can get crowded on weekends, but that’s to be expected and not worth docking a star in my opinion. Plan around it or drop your clothes off and you’ll be good.

love this place! friendly owners, super clean and well maintained!

I’m a little surprised by the comments about the staff… Because I’ve had good experiences when coming to this laundromat. The staff, when I have interacted with them, have been pretty helpful and friendly. I also agree with the other reviews that the place is nice and clean and the machines and equipment are in great shape. The only issue I ever have is coming during peak hours and having to jump on a dryer. I just wish they had more of them… (Oh and some wifi would be nice!)

Really love these guys. So helpful, friendly. The epitome of a strong family/​neighborhood establishment.

Hmmmm, Ruined clothes and random clothes show up in my laundry. I think they just mix things together. I dont want my clothes washing in a batch of other peoples dirty water.

Finally. A CLEAN laundromat with no mold in the machines, clean floors and surfaces, and clean, comfortable waiting areas. What more could you ask for?
It’s a family-​run place, staff is friendly and helpful, and it’s right next to a small gourmet supermarket, a great café, an excellent taqueria, and a seamstress. Go get all your errands done while your clothes dry!

Clean
And lots
Of machines
With good prices
For drop off when you’d rather live your life.

«For laundry, it’s really cool»
In my quest to become the Unilocaler with the most laundry reviews, subsidized by my constant moving apartment in ridiculously short intervals, I stumbled upon this gem.
This is an old school place, where most people trace their roots back to the old country (somewhere near Krakow, I’m sure) and perform their own laundry duties each week. I’m a drop off guy and headed straight for the counter. There, I encountered what appeared to be the owner, who was congenial but asked when I needed it straight away. I said tomorrow, which got him into a bit of a kerfuffle, and he replied, «well you need to drop that off by 1 pm normally for that service». But he floated me a grace and said, «well, we’ll do it tonight for you, since you are a new customer».
Sure enough, the next day I walked in at 10 am the next day and it was done! And a cut above the rest. Not only was it clean and smelling fresh, but my socks were actually matched pretty well. As a bonus, they separated my underwear and socks, encasing them in their own plastic bundle, apart from the rest of my laundry. First time I have seen this done. Bravo!
Cost: Cheap: 75 cents a pound (!)
Service: Stellar
Highly recommend if you are in Greenpointe

Clean and friendly. I don’t go anywhere else.
It’s occasionally tricky to grab yourself an empty dryer, but that would be my only qualm.

i’ve been in brooklyn for 12 years and this is the first reasonably priced dry cleaning i’ve come across with quality results. they open early for people who work late, and the owners are all super nice/​accommodating. they are so aware of their customers, they can literally pick your dry cleaning out of the rack with no number as they know all of the pieces that have come in. great business, thanks!

I have been going to this laudromat for years and have loved it because it was the cleanest and largest in the hood. Today, I brought back some dry cleaning hangers in hopes that they would re-​use them. It turns out, they send out their dry cleaning and don’t take back the hangers. I asked why they couldn’t just give them back to the dry cleaners to re-​use. The owner of the store then asked me if I was an environmentalist. I said not officially but, yes, I care about the environment. The owner then says in a raised voice, «Well, I don’t care and you’re nagging is annoying me!» I said, «Excuse me, but I have not been rude to you, I was merely asking a question. You did not have to get so nasty with me.» He continued to say that I was annoying while telling me that he would not give the name of their outsourced dry cleaning company and that I should call the Mayor. I was not confrontational with this man at all and don’t think that ANYONE should every get chastised for asking questions about how they can reuse, reduce, and recycle and save the environment!
I will never go back to this place again! Jon d., you are right, they are SO rude here!!!
The owner is an ignorant asshole who gives all the Polish business owners in the neighborhood a horrible rep. He even admitted he did not care about my loyalty or any of his other customers. Way to prove everyone right DICK!

I haven’t been to any of the other laundromats around here, but I don’t feel the need to try. All the equipment is new, including the little laundry carts. Bonus points for being across the street from a great bike shop … I replaced a tire while waiting for the wash cycle!

I have to agree wholeheartedly with MJR. While I have not patronized the other laundromat she mentions, I did pass by it and I agree that it seemed dingy and unpleasant. The quarter machine is a godsend, the $ 3 machine is HUGE, the owners are nice, and the place is clean. And finally, there’s a nice place to fold all of your laundry before you schlep it back to your apartment (this is highly important for a fastidious folder such as myself).

Great family-​run laundromat and dry cleaner. The owners are friendly and the premises are immaculately maintained. What more can you ask for from a laundromat?
