Alright, now I can confidently give the three star rating. And I mean that positively…read more
I did not take the risk of having them wash my clothes again but after not wanting to return to GreenClean, I decided to give this laundromat here another shot, washing the clothes myself this time.
And it was relatively decent. To get the major downside out of the way right away: They only have the kind of benches in there that are usually put in parks and are incredibly uncomfortable. In that regard, GreenClean is definitely much, much better.
But contrary to GreenClean, there were plenty of small and available machines to choose from which only cost 5,50€ to use. And you can just bring your own eco-friendly laundry detergent if you want to. Personally, I used my own detergent for black clothes because I obviously don't know anything about the powder that they supply.
Afterwards, I paid 3€ for three cycles of low-heat tumble drying, 20 minutes each.
The downside: One has to start those cycles manually every time, so you can't just book 60 minutes and leave to sit somewhere more comfortable. Also, the description makes it sound like you can book 40 minutes at once. And somebody told me about a trick that one can use to make it work but said it doesn't work every time... so not a great system.
The upside: Since I had to check the dampness of the clothes every time, I also noticed that it was in fact low-heat. So I was not worried about damaging my shirts like it happened the other time.
As a special bonus, I got to chat with an American astronomer while we were waiting for our clothes to be done. Although I wouldn't necessarily expect that to happen all the time. ;)
