This is a really large, very well-equipped laundromat, convenient to Mission, Roeland Park,…read moreWestwood, and Kansas City, KS. It also very clean, including the large unisex bathroom, where cleanliness hasn't been common in many laundromats I've used! Alex, the Manager on Duty, made the rounds to clean out EVERY dryer in the time I was there. And in between his tasks, he was endlessly helpful, kind, and patient, despite how many times I asked for assistance, as their system and machine directions were very different from places I've used before.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of those systems and instructions that were not spelled out step-by-step, and were confusing/not clear to me, as a first timer. No cash is used in any laundry machine, or for supplies. You purchase a "Laundry Card" from a machine for $1, and then preload it using cash or a credit card. You can use the same card over and over, and reload it as needed, which is handy if you'll go there a lot. There are no refunds, so it would help to be familiar with the many different washers and dryers, and the various prices of each, and know which ones you'll probably use, especially if you won't be going there regularly. Alex really helped me with that,
The staff and signage are all bilingual, and perfect for the communities they draw from. I work, but don't live nearby, and would still drive the distance because of all the attributes I mentioned in my first paragraph. The small stacked washer and dryer in my rental apartment only work well for little loads of everyday laundry, but not for my queen-sized comforter and mattress cover, cozy flannel sheets, or even for one bathroom area rug! Any of those take much too long, and way too many separate loads.
The Rosedale Ultra Wash will definitely be my go-to place for those large and heavy items. And did I mention they have two coin-operated auto vacuuming stations you can use while you're waiting for your laundry to spin? I think that's a great addition to their large parking lot!
