I don't use laundry mats often because usually I have a communal laundry machine on site where I live. However our on site laundry machines have been out of commission for almost two months now.
So a few weeks ago, I needed to find a laundry mat nearby so I can do all our laundry asap. At home it's me, my wife and newborn daughter. Needless to say we have a lot of clothes to clean all the time with the baby here. I've went to another laundry mat near by on magnolia and it was very unclean and for lack of a better word ran down, with homeless people always walking by and standing up front. Not a great experience l, most of the time I left feeling like my clothes was dirtier after I left.
So I googled laundry mat near me and did some research. I found this laundry mat and it looked pretty clean inside and was pretty close to me. Perfect! Let's give it a shot I thought to myself. With little to no expectations I found the parking lot. Front row parking, score! It was also a rainy day may I add. I must have got there at 8am in the morning. I walk in to see how everything is and it's glorious ! It was like a brand new laundry mat made specifically for me! Maybe only 2-3 other people washing there, with what looked like 100 machines ready. Also the machines all looked basically new!
I went up to one of the washers and saw that it has an app so I can just reload money there from my debit card, double score!! I didn't bring any quarters either so it was perfect. I actually believe I might have called before and asked about how to pay. Anyways I have a whole row of washers running now with very little effort, total time about 18 min each, great! I expected mentally to be there at the laundry Matt before for at least 3-4 hours because I had so much laundry, probably 8 bags worth. I sat down at a big table which was also very nice and was able to be in my phone and play games for a bit and relax. 18 min go by very quickly and it's time to dry. I switch all my clothes to the dryers and it was as easy as the washers! 1 hour or so for each load. And the dryers a huge! Can basically put two loads from the washers in each! Time goes by and I'm all done and it was over all an amazing experience! People were coming in now and about 1.5 hours went past at this point. All done! Definitely going back! Probably spend about $50-$60 or so total. Totally worth it!
Today I needed to do our laundry again, same situation, 8-10 bags. Get there later on a Wednesday around 10am. Virtually empty again! Amazing! Same routine expect I had it down to a science. In and out in about 2.5 hours this time and got all my laundry done. I even sat next door at the Mexican restyle Sirenita for a burrito while I waited. Great experience over all! FYI there's a daily limit of money you can load up using the app. I believe I put $75 this time. It ended up being the perfect amount though.
Over all amazingly great experience and I highly recommend it to anyone in the are! I might even go back even once our on site laundry is fixed because our laundry machines are so unreliable. Than you so much for the amazing experience! Oh and special thanks to Ruth who worked there. She helped me out and was very kind! Great and friendly staff is always a plus! read more
