Mountain State Laundromat

The place may be run down a bit but it got the job done when our machine went out and flooded our basement. Can’t complain when you NEED a washer and dryer in an emergency. Plus, the shop keeper returned our phone call when we left our wallet there! He returned it to us! Can’t complain for honest citizenship either! So thankful to have our clothes clean and dry and our wallet returned!

Came here during my lunch break to do a quick load of laundry. It looks a bit run down in the inside, but I came here to do laundry, not lounge around. The washer I used was immaculate and a load was only $ 1.75. The dryer was very spacious and it got my clothes completely dry in 30min for $ 0.75. I think that’s a pretty good deal. It’s also close to work which makes this place highly convenient.

Pretty standard fare as far as laundromats go but if it were a bar it would be a cheap dive bar. Left a batch of towels there, you win some you lose some.

I wouldn’t count on the wifi if you have serious work to do or just to browse the web. The signal is so weak I can hardly get my google calendar to load.

Okay so several machines had out of order signs on them, but the ones that worked worked, and the on-​site manager refunded my money for one that didn’t work. Actually he got it working after that.
In addition, there is a suggestion box, a refund box, and free Wi-​Fi. Quiet and uncrowded so I was able to get work done.
Later a guy appeared – I think he was the owner – and gave me and another customer who was there a free soft drink – just on the house. Awesome!

I made a trip down the block on Colfax and forest to their other location– which is not on the map for Unilocal.At least 6 machines were out of service. The dryer doors do not latch so the door continue to open through out the cycle. No wifi service– never coming back again. See photos.

Wow, I went to this place last night about 7:00pm to do one load of laundry. The guy at the door told me they wanted to close early and asked me to leave. I went home and called to find out when they open in the morning, I was told 7:00am, so I got up early and headed there. They weren’t open and there was no sign of them opening any time soon. I wen’t back home and waited until 9:30am, they still aren’t open.
I am incredibly frustrated right now as I orchestrated time off from work to get all of my laundry done while I am without a machine and its turning out to be a waist.

I imagine owning a laundromat is a daunting task — something’s always breaking, somebody’s not happy, somebody’s vandalized your place. I imagine it would make it difficult to keep the place halfway decent. But, Mountain State Laundromat manages to be a good place. Those things within the owner’s control are good or improving, those beyond his control are dealt with as quickly as possible.
The owner is on the premises frequently and is a very nice guy. He is responsive to problems and works to make the place pleasant. His number is posted so he can be contacted with any concerns. I once had an issue, and he was prompt and thorough in resolving it. I just wish he’d paint the yucky green walls a more pleasant color. :) He also cleans the washers once a week so there isn’t a nasty buildup.
There are plenty of washers and dryers, and it usually isn’t so crowded that it’s difficult to find one, in spite of the fact several seem to be out of service at the same time. When DU is in session, there is a risk of students who will steal your textbook if given half the chance (happened to me), so it pays to be cautious. Newer and more effective dryers have been installed recently. I still think they still dry too hot, and bring home most of my clothes to hang dry.
A new floor was recently installed, and the place is generally clean. Unofficially it is dog friendly, but anyone I’ve seen with a dog has been very respectful of others and had friendly and well behaved dogs. Don’t bring your dog if he’s aggressive.
There is a liquor store next door, operated by some cranky guys, and a bar on the next corner, staffed by much friendlier people. Whole Foods is also close by. Free WiFi is available, as are several free city magazines.
Wash loads begin at $ 2.00 (as of 05÷28÷13), dryers are $ 0.25 for 10 minutes. People do bring things they deem too gross to put in their own washers, so it’s worth checking the washers before putting in your own stuff.
All in all, this place is pretty good. It’s the only laundromat I would actually recommend to someone, but you still need to be careful about your belongings.

I took a trip to Mountain State Laundromat mainly so I could wash my comforter in their big washer, but the experience has me thinking I might ignore the washers in my own building and make the trip here for laundry day.
As mentioned, I stopped in to do my normal laundry load, plus my comforter, which will definitely not fit a normal washing machine.
I was in on a Saturday morning, and though there were some other folks in there with me doing their laundry, there were plenty of machines for me to use (I needed 3+ the big one) with plenty still to spare-​so it’s almost guaranteed you’ll have enough machines open, which is a huge plus.
Normal washers are $ 1.75 each and run for 30 minutes, the large washer is $ 3.50 and last about the same. Dryers cost a quarter for 10 minutes, and you can have everything dried in 30 minutes, so 75 cents. The great thing is that the dryers are at least 2X the size of a normal one, so you can put 2 loads of clothes in and save some dough.
The owner was there, making some various maintenance and cleaning around the place, and making sure to say hello and see how everyone was doing. He was ready to help with any questions, like me making sure I was closing the door on the big washer all the way (it’s a sticky one). When he left, he went around to each person and personally thanked them for their business, and wished them a good day.
That’s what really set this place above and beyond for me. It’s clear the owner/​management care about maintaining the place, so much so they’re there on a Saturday morning making sure everything is running OK and everyone is set. They were also planning some upgrades, so it sounds like they’ll be bringing in new machines soon.
If you’re looking for a good place to do your laundry and heavy loads, look no further. This place is well maintained, well run, and a very deserving local business.

lots of washers and driers. Doesn’t matter what time of the day you show up, you will always have a machine to use. Several broken machines but the owner put signs on them. Washing starts at $ 1.00 (just your standard household washer), and can go up to $ 3.00 for washing blankets and comforters. Drying is $ 0.25 per 10 minutes. 1 load gets dried in about 20 minutes (if you don’t have a lot of towels). There is also a change machine, arcade (if you are bored), tons of magazines to read while you are waiting. Or you can go hang out in the wholefoods across from the street and get a cup of coffee or something. They say last wash is 8:30pm but I’ve seen people bring their clothes well past 9:00, so keep that in mind. You need to bring your own detergents or you can buy it at the vending machine.
Overall, affordable, working machine, good location. I can’t really comment on the service because there is never anyone there.

This neighborhood laundromat is close to I-​25. The new owner is quite nice and helpful, and has improved this business since purchasing it. The are larger machines which is a must when washing heavy bedding for example. There is also free wi-​fi, a liquor store nearby, and Pub on Pearl. Some machines were not working, but the owner was actually in there making repairs to them, which is nice to see! This place is in a nice neighborhood, there are shops down the street to kill time, prices are very reasonable, and my stuff ended up clean (most important part) It’s a laundromat, not the Ritz Carlton though. Please keep that in mind.
