    Ang V.

    Washers range from $5-10, depending on size. They accept coins (quarters only) and card. I tried one washer and it wasn't accepting my visa. I swiped several times and used two different cards and it still didn't work so I had to change washers. They charge 25 cents for every 5 minutes for the dryer. They have a change machine right by the entrance to dispense quarters if needed. They also have boxed soap, detergent, and laundry bags for $1. They have vending machines, a few (like 2-3) arcade games, and tvs. No seating though so it's not really a place to wait. Best bet is to wait in your car. But there's lot of (fast) food options nearby you can also wait at. Their last wash load is apparently 8:45pm (they close at 10) but I saw someone starting a wash around 9:30 so it's not really accurate. There's also no workers. I was trying to find one and no one in sight. But maybe that's because I went near closing and after their laundry drop off service was closed. Maybe they have a worker during the day. It was busy and hard to find the cheaper washers to be available. Also the risk of laundromats is you don't know what the previous person washed before you. So you're taking the risk that someone could've washed car mats, cleaning cloths, etc and then you're loading your intimates and clothes inside. Not sure if they clean the washers daily. Overall, this is the first time I've been to a laundromat in over 15 years because I needed to use a bigger size washer and am please with my experience.

    Dryers overcharged using Credit Card! Lesson learned, NEVER use your credit card! Use Quarters!!!

    I am updating my review from my original post on 07/20/23. The Owner responded directly to me the day that I posted about credit card overcharges. She rectified the issues immediately and provided info and details about my CC utilization. This is my 1st time that I've ever had to update from an initial post. I confirmed online that the total cc charges added up to the correct amount of $12.50. Thank You so much to the Owner and Team to help correct my CC charges promptly and they even contacted me to follow up and make sure that the CC charge total amount was correct which it is now. Thank you for your wonderful laundromat, great machines and wonderful customer service. If I'm ever in that area again, will return. I'm going to use quarters going forward at any laundromat I have to use anywhere just in case so I can avoid any potential glitches. :) Thank you again for your great establishment and prompt, professional and helpful customer service.

    A clean washer that was very well maintained!! Unlike the laundromat down the street, which is icky AF!!

    This place is way cheaper than all the other places, machines are super clean, the area is super clean, takes cards & coins. Will definitely be coming back here!! Thank you for having a super sanitized laundromat, the place down the street is super dirty & way too expensive. This place is sparkling! Plus there is no homeless people panhandling.

    See all

I recently ordered a suit online and have to hem my pants. The person who took my pants was directed to their dresser and had my pants put on so that she can measure the right length. She made sure that I was satisfied with the length before marking them. I was satisfied with the price of the alterations and gave me a pickup date for my pants.

I have been fortunate that at any dry cleaners I've been too when I give one of the workers the receipt to find my clothes they are able to find it, but I find that the handwritten paper receipt is archaic when it comes to organizing. There's a dry cleaner near the UC Bart Station where there's an upgrade when it comes to organizing. US Cleaners uses an electronic machine to print out the receipt, which shows the barcode and day to pick up your clothes. I came here recently as a I had pus stain on the right knee of my paints (sorry for the grosteque description). When I picked up my pants I gave one of the workers the receipt. I mentioned that in the past I was amazed how workers can find your clothes based on the numbers on the receipt, but there were times the process would take several minutes to find your clothes. That was not the case at this cleaner and it may be due to the barcode, which is printed on the receipt. Within a couple of minutes one of the workers was able to find my clothes. Regarding the stain on my pants this cleaner did the best it could to remove the stain as there is no mark of the stain on the outside of the pants. If you want to go to a cleaner where it's efficient I recommend US Cleaners.
