I had a load of clothes to do last Sunday morning and stopped at the Ames branch of Squeaky Clan. Everything seemed to be there: nice washer and dryers, roomy and clean facilities, a place to purchase laundry detergent, and an ATM to get cash (which I did). But! The change machine was out-of-order! So without a source of quarters and no available means to put this on a credit card, I was basically screwed. Onwards to Squeaky Clean in Boone.....

It took over two months to get the $1.75 back, but today, I got the refund on my lost quarters(from…read moreNovember) It took over two weeks, but I did get my money refunded. That said, it happened again, when I paid 1.75 for a dryer that stopped every 10-15 seconds, in November. See pic of dryer notification. I wore wet clothes to work and asked them for the 1.75 back and I never got any response. It's been about 2 months now. Nothing. I'm considering using the laundromat on the west side of Ames no

I cannot write enough good things about KN Custom Sewing. They did my baby sisters wedding day, her…read moreentire bridal parties dresses (including my bridesmaid dress) and then turned around & did my big day as well (a year later & remembered all of us!!)! The professionalism is incredibly high. I was given tips & tricks, they asked my opinion every step through the way - I suggest them to everyone I meet. They're incredibly affordable & amazingly quick with turn around! Right before my wedding I was stressing because I wanted my dress altered once more, and they made the time, called me & were just so incredibly kind about it. Never have I ever felt more at peace with putting such a big day in the hands of someone. I recommend to everyone!!! MY WHOLE FAMILY ADORES THEM & I will travel from 1hr away to continue to have their amazing services without a second thought.

This bag is about 4 years old and used every single day to store a laptop, books, paperwork, etc. I was pleasantly surprised that it was fixable, it would be very reasonable to fix it and it would be done in a day or two. The bag is perfectly fixed and I'm excited it has new life again! I highly recommend Hyland Shoe Repair to those who care about their items and want to avoid living in a throw-away society.

I stepped inside and was greeted with a smiling face. After mentioning the business I worked for, the woman working knew exactly what I was there for and got my order to me immediately. I've gone back several times since then and my experience has been just as lovely as the first. They are the kind of people who truly care about their clients and what they are doing. I always look forward to going back. As if the incredible service isn't enough, my prints are always perfect and they are definitely the cheapest in town. I really don't know why anyone would go somewhere else.

In addition to being incredibly affordable, the place also houses great people (or person). The one woman who helped me every single time that I went in there AND answered all of my emails is an incredibly kind person. What is holding Prints back a little bit is that they are a little more limited in what they can do than some other places and while the quality isn't bad, it isn't anything to boast about either.

My recent Sunday morning load of laundry was done there in Boone, as Squeaky Clean's outpost in Ames didn't provide any means for obtain quarters. There were no such issues here in Boone, aside from having to feed more quarters in than I expected. The Laundromat itself was clean and spacious, and with plenty of washers, dryers, and folding tables available. Fellow patrons were a mix of families, single adults, and students. There was also a clean restroom available and easy access to my car and the street. The bottom line was that my clothes came out clean and dry.
