    Shuttered exterior of Coin Laundry, a Lower East Side Milwaukee laundromat that went out of business in 2020.

    Well, I don't want to bury the lead, so the first (and really only) thing you need to know is that this place no longer exists. I walk past it all the time, and a couple/few weeks ago all the machines, etc were suddenly gone; next day windows were all covered with plywood & remain so to date. Good news is you're better off without it. I've lived nearby for years in various buildings, some of which had no laundry. This place is in a great location, near all kinds of things (coffee, bars, grocery) to do while waiting. Yet they went out of business and I'm only surprised it didn't happen sooner. Laundry machines, change machine, and bathroom were endlessly problematic- never once were all 3 working at the same time. Also small, cramped, only a few seats so you'd constantly feel crowded or like you were crowding someone else. On top of all that, the lady who was always working there (unsure if she's owner or employee) was just forever looking & acting like this was her own personal hell. Got a uestions, comments, a friendly hello? Didn't matter, her response was invariably: A) a long-suffering sigh; B) snapping at me; C) disregarding me entirely; or D) some combination thereof. And that's not even getting into the huge attitude she'd throw if--make that when--a machine ate my money, failed to wash/dry, etc. Twice she literally screamed at me when I had the audacity to expect accurate change from the change machine. I'd been there maybe 10 times before I knew they had a bathroom, bc when I'd asked she told me to go to pick n save a block away. I should maybe thank her for that, since when I finally did figure it out, it was, to quote the movie "Trainspotting," the worst toilet in Scotland. Best of all during my first & last visit to that stink closet, the moment I stepped inside she was pounding on the door saying "customers only!!" For the record, I'd been there for an hour and done 4 loads at that point. So this sure got long for a place that isn't even a place any more. Hope you've found it entertaining.

    An apparently homeless man moved within a foot of me and urinated himself while he waited for his belt to be done drying.

    I've been lucky to not need to use a laundromat weekly since 2014. But desperate times (and a…read morebedspread too much for my washer at home). ‍ I read such great reviews for this particular laundromat in Bayview. Quick jaunt from the East Side to this laundromat. Very clean, bright, free WiFi, space to sit, and plenty of machines. The price for washing and drying my bedspread seemed very reasonable. An easy, rather quick, and smooth process compared to when I used laundromats regularly. I also from street parking ridiculously easily right in front of the shop. Certainly will visit again!

    Do not be fooled by the good reviews. First time using a laundromat so maybe I am bias but there is…read moremold in almost every single washer. It is very obvious that no one cleans these washers or even checks them. Most of them have hair or tissues and gum inside of them or they have mold in the detergent dispenser. It was impossible to find a clean washer I ended up only finding one that was okay looking. Heard this girl say there were a pair of jeans in a washer for over three weeks. Most washers had discarded wet clothes in them and smelled like they had been sitting there for months. It costs 3.25 to do your laundry in a dirty washer... added more photos since the owner wants to lie about them cleaning machines. Ask the people who come here every week they will tell you the truth. - added even more photos of only in service machines because the owner is and saying they are all photos of out of service ones. Wish he would have just apologized and ensured someone would come and properly clean the machines instead of lying.

    I was traveling from California and needed a place to do my laundry, naturally. I did a quick Yelp…read moresearch around Milwaukee and saw this place opened the earliest at 7AM, stoked to get this to-do squared away early. As mentioned in the other post, it provided that it opened at 7AM, but the employee came at 7:30AM. She apologized profusely and I could tell she was genuinely dealing with life; hopefully her matters are resolved soon as I wouldn't want her tardiness to affect her employability, she is a kind person. Otherwise, the facility is top-knotch. The pricing is reasonable, $1.50 per load on the more soiled setting that I chose, and the machines were clean, the layout of the facility well-organized.

The place is very clean and the staff was quite helpful. There's lots of carts to use but they can't go outside. They have lots of big machine options which is convenient for large to super large loads. Prices range from $5,50, $7.50, and $10. The smallest machine is 4.50 (not worth it) which is a lot smaller (half load size) than the next size up which is the $5.50. The machines wash well. They also have 3 size dryers very large for King size or larger comforters, $2.50 large for standards full load dry, and $2.00 for smaller loads. The dryers are set 30 minutes. I was disappointed that not only it took so long but his clothes still wasn't dry although I intentionally made each load lighter and used more dryers. The gentleman working there was nice enough to give me the additional drying needed for free. I took a star off for this. Other disappointed is the tables are super small and inconvenient for folding a full load of clothes. I took a Star off for this as well. Overall we made it work and got the job done. Not sure if we'll go back. I recommend trying for yourself and decide if it works for you. FYI - pictures are spot on so I didn't feel a need to take any.

The only one I'd ever been to before in Milwaukee apparently shut down, and we wanted to make a stop at GFS, so Clean Laundry was right nearby. We used the 6 load washer which cost $8.75 per load and brought our own detergent. They have a detergent vending machine, plus another vending machine that was only half stocked, and all that was in that one was bottled water. The machines use tokens, which you can buy with bills. The dryer was something like 20 minutes for $2.50. Other than people leaving dryer sheets strewn about the floor, the laundromat was pretty clean looking and only a few machines were out of order. We were in and out in about an hour with clean bedding.

Idk about you, but I've NEVER poured laundry soap from that push spout on the big containers, into the clear measuring cap & had my hands &/or the cup be completely soap free afterwards! I have ALWAYS needed to rinse the cap & my hands, not to mention sometimes soap sometimes runs down the side of the bottle. Apparently Clean Laundry doesn't care if their customers are able to wash their hands or use the restroom & there's a sign letting us know that it's only unlocked if there's someone working there. If you're not familiar, there's no "regular" workers. People who want to use the machines for free can do so, if they clean the place. I hardly ever see anyone there "working".
