This is a great laundromat. I went here quite early in the morning (7am). Was completely empty so…read moreI had the place to myself. Very clean facility. I thought the washers were a bit on the pricy side, but found out later their prices are competitive with similar facilities. $7 for the large washer and a quarter for every 7 minutes of dryer use. It is awesome to be able to purchase the dryer in such small increments. Every machine was working, which was refreshing for a laundromat. They also have free WiFi. Only drawback was difficult finding parking, but that's to be expected in Oakland. Would use this place again.

We got hit by a dose of lice in our house so we had to clean everything plush. I decided to check…read moreout this place because they have industrial size washers and dryers that can clean all your comforters and any type of stuffed anything. Parking was relatively easy but it really is depending on the time of day you're coming. They have a vending machine where you can get detergent and all sorts of that stuff and they also sell bags in that vending machine that you can put your clothes into. I found that helpful but just keep in mind it's a dollar per each item and that adds up quickly depending on how many loads you're doing. Highly recommend to bring your own detergent. The machines take debit and credit cards and also coins. Washing and drying time are comparable and I love how hot the dryers get. You can add time onto your current drying time which is nice as well. They do have option to have someone clean your clothes for you but that doesn't appear to be an option on the weekend so just keep that in mind. There is Wi-Fi available in some tables available for folks to sit at to fold or just to do work from. The only downside I would say about this place that there's really no places to eat relatively nearby. You'll have to walk or drive and if you've already taken the time to get a nice parking spot , you may not want to move. You can always get the food delivered but just one thing to note if you're like me and we're trying to do laundry and get food while you wait. The facility is nice and well-maintained and everyone pretty much keeps to themselves while they do their laundry which is also nice. Not sure if there's a high time for people to come here but typically on the weekend around early evening was pretty slow. Did start to pick up closer to 8 PM but they're always seem to be a machine available. Something to know is that they don't have a lot of industrial size washers and dryers. I want to say they probably have 2-4 industrial washers and same with the dryers. They may have more of the dryers that are larger than washers but just something to keep in mind because the washers to come in a variety of sizes and the industrial size ones are always the first to be used.

I just purchased a linen quilt and new sheets for the summer and wanted to give them a good wash so took them to GAL. Stopped by Friday morning and was greeted with friendly smiles and help opening the door. The owners sorted through my items and gave me an estimated price. They also offered me a discount because it was my first time there. The owner wanted to make sure I understood that the linen quilt may be wrinkly, and I was like, "I hope so!" Ha! We also discussed pick-up time. They noted they could get the items to me later that day, but I told them I might have a meeting and asked if I could pick up the next morning. They were very accommodating. Upon pick-up, all of my items were ready and packaged beautifully. I was so happy to have a freshly laundered bed without the headache. A quick note: the hours on Yelp are their typical hours, but they've adjusted them during the pandemic. Friday, they were open 9 AM- 3 PM.

Hands down this is the best business I have been to in a long time. The family who owns and runs this company are incredibly kind and caring, and I am so thankful to be able to come to this place and trust that my child's clothes and bedding are cleaned with the utmost care; they even package his little clothes neatly in paper. Oh, the joy it brings me to spend my money here!! Side note: I got locked out of my car one day, and the family made sure I was able to contact AAA. The father even looked out for me until they came. This is exactly what our community needs. Thank you, Grand Ave Launderette Family!

I made sure to come here multiple times before writing this review. In summary, I expect a dry…read morecleaner to take care of my precious clothing garments without damaging them. Park Blvd Cleaners did NOT meet my expectations. I picked up one of my Farm Rio dresses after the 7 day turnaround time, only to find that the hand needed straps were tied in a knot together around the hanger, and that about half of the beads were no longer on the straps. I'm beyond disappointed and am more hurt at this point. This was an investment piece that is damaged due to it not receiving the care it deserved. On a different garment, I noticed that white deodorant marks were still across the front of the garment. This annoyed me more than anything, considering how simple it would have been to pay attention to detail and make sure the marks were removed. In summary, Park Blvd was a mistake I'll regret for a while. Aside from my garment being damaged, the pricing is not transparent, and extremely inconsistent depending on who is working when you drop your garments off. The high prices I was charged were not reflected in the quality I received.

The standard minimum charges per maximum weight are spelled out in the app, as are charges for any of the requested special treatments--and they are great about clarifying anything you're unsure of.

The neon sign of the location really adds a nostalgic, classic appeal. I had one pair of vintage Levi's cleaned after having acquired them on the resale market, and had challenges with getting them cleaned and thoroughly deodorized; even after three wash cycles, an overnight distilled white vinegar soak, and a direct sunlight air dry. After all that didn't work, I decided to bring my denim to Ideal for a final attempt. I dropped off on Wednesday and asked for Friday pick-up which the owner said was possible. I called on Thursday to see if an earlier pick-up was possible, and provided my ticket number to which I got a call back after checking on my piece. I was told that Friday morning would allow for service completion- which was fine. I picked the denim up first thing on Friday morning, and the scent I was trying to get out is completely gone. The quick turn around, friendly service and supporting a local business, Ideal is a great choice. For my one pair of denim, I paid $8. This is more than reasonable. Great service, quick turn around and much better than other cleaners. I will be going to Ideal for my pieces, and am interested in having a cleaning done on bigger pieces I have. Suggesting for anyone looking for a good cleaner to try Ideal. To note, with current construction in downtown Oakland, getting there is tougher than usual. And for new customers, push the door hard, it felt like it wasn't unlocked when I first came in. ahah
