This place is closed AF. Expired. Gone to the realm of shuttered windows and expired leases.

THIS BUSINESS IS NOW CLOSED. I just got back from walking over to do my monthly dog rugs/​blankets. I am sorry to see it go.: (I was a 17 year patron. Over the years there were many nice attendants who managed the laundromat. FYI the man everyone ragged about in their reviews did NOT own the business. And I always got along with him just fine.

This place is nothing special, but it gets the job done. The coin machine takes no less than 3 times to accept even the crispest dollar bills, but eventually it works. The interior seems like it hasn’t been remodeled since the 60’s but that’s not what you come here for. The machines all work fine and seem to be well maintained. There are a good amount of washers and dryers so there never is any waiting for a machine.
The one negative is the hours. Since this is the only laundromat within walking distance of my place, it looks like late night laundry trips are out the window. The doors say last wash starts at 9 PM but you really want to try and get in here before 8. At 9 the owner locks the doors, not allowing anyone back in even if your clothes are still inside. Pay attention to the time and you should be fine.
Overall decent place but wish the hours were later.

I do not know what you all are talking about. I almost skipped this place based on the reviews but its location was convenient. The owner who may/​must be new based on the reviews, was super polite and friendly. The washers and dryers are all nice and there is a size range, which was awesome as I have a lot to do. I think it’s great. Bonus, there’s free parking which is rare for the neighborhood.

The other posts about the owner are true. He is rude, irate, and completely unprofessional. The machines are expensive also. Please do not give this man your business.

I was intimidated by the other reviews but was in a bind and had to use this place. I am happy I did. It is very clean and cheap. The owners didn’t bother me at all and were very kind to me when my son accidentally got hurt (his fault). The laundromat is clean and the signage is very clear about their expectation that you stay onsite for the last load. I will definitely use them again.

Nothing outstanding about this place, nothing too much to complain. I came here to wash my comforter and it was as standard as anything. There could have been more instructions, but it’s pretty much common sense. You select the wash temperature, put in the detergent, put in the # of coins, and you’re good to go. The dryer I used is 25 cents per 5 minutes, so that’s pretty easy to keep track of.
Half the bad reviews are about closing time. If you’re looking to be pampered, go walk/​bus/​drive another mile where you pay 2x as much. If you come at a responsible time, you’ll have no qualms about this place.

This guy is a psycho. Also a racist
Went to put my money in the machines to get coins and it didn’t work so I went to the guy and politely asked for coins. He slammed the office door and said are you fucking kidding me. He then tried my money in the machine and it didn’t work and says I’m not giving you the coins from my office. I then pack my stuff up and one of the other customers told me to not take it personally. Apparently he treats everyone like this. I have been here one other time and he treated a white girl like crap and he treated a black girl amazingly seems a bit racist to me.

If I could post zero stars I would. The owner is completely unreasonable and doesn’t respect the people who pay him good money. He upped the prices to nearly $ 5 just to wash your clothes and at least another $ 2 to dry. He called my sister a bitch because she came back to get her laundry at 9:05p even though the place says last load *begins* at 9:00p. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS.

WARNING: PSYCHO LAUNDRY NAZI!
DO NOT LET THIS GUY HOLD YOUR LAUNDRY HOSTAGE!
Screw this guy. Crotchety. Old. Bad attitude, piece of crap, owner wouldn’t wait 2 minutes to let me in and get my clothes. «You have to come back tomorrow». I whaat? Screw you, dude!!! Who holds laundry hostage? If that’s your idea of a power trip, you’re an idiot. Honor the signs you post about last load start times too, jerk!
You will die alone, you fool!

Screw this place. The attendant is a very rude, short tempered man. I won’t hold it against him he doesn’t speak English well, but he’s sill kind of a jerk.
Moreover, if a store hours says open until 9, you can’t just throw up a sign when I get here at 5:00 saying you are closing at 6 and then mean mug me while I do laundry.
** I found out they close early some Saturdays to allow outreach groups come in and use the facility. The only reason I am giving 2 stars instead of 1.

I was nervous about the ‘laundromat experience’ when I moved into an apartment without laundry, but this place makes it no problem. $ 2 wash or $ 3.50 jumbo wash, and the dryers, which you just keep putting quarters into until they fully dry your things, are extremely powerful. I can wash, dry and fold 2 loads in just over an hour. In my old apt with washer/​dryer, laundry took me more than double that long. The place is always pretty empty and extremely clean, and the other customers and the attendant ignore you, so it’s a quick and painless experience. Free parking too. Agree with the other review though, when they say «last load» they mean «we will kick you out at this time».

Clean facility and good prices. $ 2 a load for regular sized washer and $ 3.50 for jumbo washers. 25 cents for every 5 minutes in the dryers. Wash and fold service is 95 cents a pound. Large load washers look fairly new but the rest of the appliances are older but work fine. Free parking on the side of the building which is very convenient.
