    Love this place!!! The big $12 machines literally fit four loads it's amazing. I always spend about $30-$40 but I do my laundry once every two months, I know I KNOW! But it's nice you can get it all done in two-three hours. There's always a machine open, they have rolling carts thank gosh. There's always staff is so friendly, there's even a vending machine with supplies if you forget something as well as the ability to pay through the app so no quarters hallelujah!!!!

    Pretty neat spot to get all your laundry including the heavy loads done! Pro tip: if it's your first time make sure you get the extra bonus credit that they promise before loading up your card with more money. Also the dryer is pretty cheap so be conservative in how much you need for that. You can always add more money if you need to but I'm pretty sure you can't get money back after you purchase credit. They have a pretty small parking area thats free so I love that. It is small and stays pretty busy so if you don't find a spot, just give it another 5min or so. The machines are pretty diverse in size which is always nice.

    Opens at 5am. Probably the only time it's empty.

    Big Waves Laundromat in Santa Monica is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a clean, well-organized space that makes doing laundry a breeze. Joe, the friendly attendant, consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that every customer feels welcome. His warm smile and helpful attitude truly elevate the experience, making you feel like you're part of a community rather than just another customer. One of the standout features of Big Waves Laundromat is their Speed Queen app. It's incredibly user-friendly and makes managing your laundry a seamless process. You can easily check machine availability, pay, and track your cycles all from your phone. It's a real game-changer, saving both time and effort. This convenience allows you to focus on other tasks while your laundry takes care of itself. Costs are average. Cheapest wash is $4 top loader all the way up to $11 huge machines. Vending machines and soaps for sale on site but I'd bring that from home if I were you lol.

    By far one of the most well-kept and up to date laundromat I've been too. They also have fluff and fold but not sure if it's delivery and pick up service with that. Parking is limited but in an attached parking lot. They have a restroom for customers only that's clean with the soft toilet paper You can use quarters or an app to pay for the machines and they also have an atm. They have large shareable folding tables and the machines seem to be well-maintained as well. Good gem

    Clean, nice machines, safe, no homeless loitering, a tad bit pricey but well worth it considering the location.

    There are rare moments in life when you meet someone and instantly feel a connection, someone you…read morejust know will become a lasting friend. That's exactly how I felt when I met Triny at Paco's Cleaners off Pico. Not long after our first meeting, I borrowed a stunning dress from a celebrity stylist for an awards show. Naturally, I wanted to return it in flawless condition. I brought it to Triny, and she handled it with such care that when I returned the dress, the stylist was amazed. She told me she'd happily let me borrow anything from her collection in the future, all because of how beautifully the garment was cleaned and returned. That level of trust and professionalism speaks volumes, and I owe it to Triny. The next job was a pair of pants I needed cleaned for an upcoming volunteer event. I stopped by Paco's Cleaners, and once again, Triny made sure I had everything I needed, ready on time. Her warmth and attention to detail were already becoming familiar. A few weeks later, I returned with new requests: patches to be sewn and names to be embroidered on several volunteer shirts and jackets. I volunteer for three different nonprofits, and as Triny and I talked, we quickly discovered our shared love for service and community. Though she didn't do embroidery herself, she referred me to a trusted colleague who completed the job in just 24 hours. I brought the finished shirts and jackets back to Triny, and within two hours, she had all the patches sewn and the items back in my hands, just in time for my next day of volunteer work. Triny isn't just someone who provides excellent service, she's someone who genuinely cares. Her reliability, resourcefulness, and kindness are unmatched, and the pride she takes in her work shows in every detail. I feel so grateful to have found her. If you're ever in need of a cleaner who goes above and beyond, someone who treats your garments, and you, with care and respect, Triny at Paco's Cleaners is the one to see.

Poor communication with the point of contact (a hotel where I stayed) for drop-off, as well as unresponsiveness to me, resulted in items necessary for surgical recovery being stranded on the other side of the country for over a week. Self-righteous unwillingness to admit error upon having this pointed out resulted in a tirade about how much of a favor this guy felt he was performing by simply getting things where they needed to be after the poor communication mentioned above left things in the wrong place. Apparently he was so blinded by said self-righteousness that he was unable to distinguish between the point of contact (again, a hotel with which he deals regularly), and myself, when all of this was pointed out. All I received was hostility and abuse directed at "you guys" - entirely inappropriate as well as inaccurate. In terms of value for money, I can't speak to the quality as I have yet to receive my items. In sum, use this service if you're okay with not interacting with a human. If you do need to interact with a human, I would stay far, far away.
