They used to do dry cleaning, but when I went there, they no longer do dry cleaning. It is still an amazing laundry place and if I didn't have a washer and dryer, this is the place that I would come to do my laundry. They are clean and kind and helpful. I don't have anything bad to say about this place and if you don't have a washer and dryer and you need to go there, this is the place to go. read more

Traveling and needed to do laundry; by far the cleanest and nicest laundry facility I have been to! Well taken care of and everybody was very helpful! read more

It's a place to do laundry. App or coin operated machines, no cards that I could see. There's a dollar general right next door to kill time while waiting read more

I use them for my washable comforters. It's worth the 22.00/ per comforter to leave them and have them washed. Most of the time I get met items back in a couple of hours. This last time I had to wait overnight. It's clean and the neighborhood is changing for the better. ~30year resident of the City. read more

Very clean. Lots of machines. Bathrooms extremely clean. Located next to a dollar general for detergent needs. read more

Lafayette Laundromat - Laundromat Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

See all

I wanted to give this place a zero!! I'm posting from my car in disbelief from the treatment I just received from this poor excuse for an establishment. I went to pick up an item for dry cleaning that was scheduled to be back today. It wasn't. So I asked the individual working when it would be ready and I received a shrug and that they should be ready tomorrow. I asked if she could call they because I need the dress tomorrow because Saturday is my parents 50th vow renewal. This woman had the nerves to tell me to be quiet!!! What in the world kind of disrespectful mess is that...I did not cuss or disrespect this lady. The lady had the nerves to stop talking to me!! Like not a single word. I asked for the managers number or someone else to speak to, nothing at all but her continuing to ignore me. I left after 30 minutes or so because I can't loose my job or miss my parents renewal by allowing this to escalate due to her choosing ignorance. read more

Lafayette Laundromat - Outside of business - Laundromat Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I had to use a laundromat, because our condo buildings laundry room was closed as they were replacing all units, and we are fortunate to have this place across the street from us. I have never been here, despite the fact it has been here for several years. It was wonderful, the washer and dryers were great, the place was extremely clean, and the lady behind the counter was extremely helpful and very nice. I had no idea, my attitude about laundromats was very different. I highly recommend this place. read more

So used to love coming here getting all of the laundry done at one time even though I have my own laundry at home.The former owners were awesome, customer service was excellent they sold it recently and boy what a difference came to the laundry at 9:15 the closing time is 11 PM was greeted by a most unpleasant individual who said with the last load have to be in by 930 right that's 15 minutes from now no problem then at 10:30 As I'm finishing up because for some reason the dryer is now take a lot longer he tells me we're closing in 15 minutes and I told him no you're closing in half an hour just all-around rude won't be back and by the way when I come to do my laundry I usually spend about 60 bucks. On a closing note the attendant spent more time chain smoking out front than doing much of anything else and the stench wafting through the Front doors was a bit off putting read more

Lafayette laundry is a really clean place! Great staff, friendly! Great place to pay, clean, and end up with perfect comforters! Love this place! read more

Since we moved to Detroit about 6 months ago, we've been going to Lafayette Laundry do wash our clothing. With two adults and 3 kids, we potentially generate a lot of dirty stuff, but Lafayette gets us clean and dry quickly! With big machines, big dryers I can get the clothing washing fast. But thats not all. The joint is Clean, super duper friendly, and has a nice space for me and my kids to chill and eat a snack while stuff is cleaning. I totally dig this place. read more

I'm working in Detroit currently. Originally from texas. Lemme tell your this place is the real deal. Me and my travel bud drop our laundry off and is always ready the next day. $1.29 /lb. great price. Always neatly folded and smelling great. read more

The staff is friendly and the place is fairly clean. My biggest pet peeve is the fact that out of what seems like at least 30 machines in which to wash, there are only 6 single load machines. I wash every weekend and my loads are fairly small. So, there is usually a wait on a machine or two when I go. This really sucks because I have to sometimes do one or two loads at a time instead of doing them all at once. It kind of defeats the purpose of me going to the laundromat because there is one washer and one dryer in my apartment building. To make matters worse, one of the single load washers was broken today. So, they're done to five machines with four people waiting to use them. I asked the attendant if any were going to be added and he said that the owners were actually going to take them out and that they want people to use the double and triple load machines. Well, that doesn't work for single people like me who are new to the area and just need to wash for ourselves and not whole families. The single load machines are already high at 2.50 per load. The machine in my building is only 1.75 per load. I just come here to save time, which I never end up doing here. I refuse to pay 4.00 per load for 6 - 9 items. I'll take my money elsewhere. read more

This is the only decent laundry around me. The google hours say they are open and the close at 11pm. I'm here now and the attendent says they are closed. What is it opened or closed? I love this place xause I can plan my day around their hours. Now I don't have any clean sheets, towels our clothes for tomorrow the start of my week. This is unacceptable business practices. False advertisement. Very disappointing read more

Never using the laundry facilities in my apartment building ever again. This place was so clean and neat.lService was amazing and the attendant was like the cool cousin you never had I love this laundromat and I highly recommended it to everyone read more

When in town I use this place to do my laundry. Staff is nice, hours of operation are reliable. Clean and comfortable. For the most part the washers are reliable. The dryer's need a bit more heat. I have small loads and need to add more money to dry my items. Restroom supplies are always low or need replenishing, but that is an easy fix. read more

Very nice laundry mat. Very clean and safe. Pretty cheap too. Staying downtown. It was very easy to get here.

Lafayette Laundry is a clean facility. I have high expectations when using laundromats. My laundromat in Ferndale was sold. The new owners were remodeling it. During the height of COVID-19, I did not mind driving miles to the Lafayette Laundry. I met the owner there. He is a sincere person with high expectations for his facility. His attendants wiped down the machines very often. They are helpful and want to make your visit to the facility a pleasant experience. The washing machines and dryers are new and well maintained. The customers were required to wear a face mask while in the facility. They have ample seating, folding tables, several televisions, and vending machines. The laundry is spacious. There is ample parking. It is located in a strip mall on Lafayette Boulevard. I am back at my Ferndale location, but Lafayette Laundry is my emergency place even though it is miles away. read more

These folks do a fantastic job. Always friendly. Bundle service is excellent. Super clean.

I'm a business traveler and stay often in the downtown Detroit area. I've been using this laundromat for their wash-and-fold service ($1.25 a pound, 10 pounds minimum) and I love it. I usually drop off my laundry in the morning, and pick it up after work. The laundry is very neatly folded and separated and packaged, which I love because I would never have done that myself. The owner and workers are extremely friendly and recognize my face - recently they've included a handwritten "Thank You" card every time I go pick-up which was a nice gesture. I once dropped off laundry at 7:30 p.m. (an hour before closing) and asked if I could get it the next morning before 8 a.m. (an hour after opening) as I had a flight to catch - the staff said they were really busy that night already but they still guaranteed they'll rush it in time for me and made it happen! PROS: + Wash-and-fold service really convenient. + Very friendly staff + Clean-looking facilities + Good location (the plaza has a dollar shop and good Thai Restaurant next door) read more

Full service laundry! Clean and well maintained, attendant onsite, offering wash and fold service. Went on a busy Sunday and got 3 weeks(don't judge me!) of my laundry done in 90 minutes didn't have to wait for machines at all. TV area with CNN on and wifi seating area. Fully stocked snack machines and some vintage video games. Reasonable cost for machines, I think I spent $17 on washing and drying everything. Sits in a shopping strip with a couple restaurants(Thai I've have that's pretty tasty) and a soul food spot that gets good reviews that I'll probably try out when I go back. There's also a grocery store. read more

I'm here now writing this review... On free wifi. It's a big spacious laundromat. Very clean. There is a kids areas, which is nice for when I absolutely have to bring the rugrats. Today I lucked out and my husband has them. I am sitting in a lounge area with a public library bookshelf, relevant newspapers and flat screen tv's. I kinda don't even want to go home. The customer service is awesome. He offered to help me carry my six baskets of laundry in. They offer free coffee and donuts. read more

Clean clean clean clean and even cleaner than that. Assistants were helpful and prices were reasonable. I travel from the west side to this laundromat because its the cleanest one in Detroit. read more

Love love love this laundry center. It's clean and it's in a shopping plaza with other places that I patronize from time to time. I travel a ton and they've been laundering my clothes for years with care. I never have anyone else's clothes, nor are my clothes ever missing or damaged. Same-day service is also available! Professional, affordable wash & fold service ;-) read more

This laundromat is very clean, customer service oriented and affordable! To be located near downtown Detroit they are affordable! They provide punch cards which offer a free 70 lb load! I seriously recommend this to all! They have an area for children, free wifi, and a cleannnnn atmosphere! It's never "ghetto" or does not have a bad customer base! read more

Lafayette Laundromat - Clean! - Laundromat Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Does this establishment still have the same rude clerks that beg for a tip when writing up your drop and clean order. Hell no, no tips from me on a QT without seeing the quality and speed of work/service. However, I don't think service personnel should be begging for tips!!! Turns me off. read more

We were here in Detroit staying at the Greek casino for a union convention for work. We didn't pack enough clothes so needed to wash some. I looked this place up and really liked how nice it was kept up! The customer service was good and staff was friendly. I highly recommend anybody visiting Detroit needing to wash some clothes to use this place. I had to show some love from Dallas Texas read more

I have come the several times now because it's faster and it's clean and the staff are very friendly. Machines actually work and they maintain all of them well as well as the cleanliness! I absolutely love this place! Absolutely love their different cash and change machines. They just went up on prices due to inflation on water costs but they are still reasonable. Huge machines and even a play area for the kids. read more

New owner as of OCTOBER 2020. Complete ***hole avoid this place at all costs. Very rude and inconsistent.

Owners and staff are friendly and helpful. DeAnthony is especially attentive. Facility is clean and spacious. Concerns: not have enough single load washers and more quarters than seems necessary is needed to dry...i.e. my lite undergarments. Also, the dryers badly wrinkle my clothing. Otherwise, I feel this facility is an asset to the community. read more

Lafayette Laundromat - Need more of these. - Laundromat Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I've been using this laundromat on and off since they opened. Typically the staff is very friendly and helpful, however today (around 7:45pm) was an absolute exception. The laundromat was practically empty, and there was no one at the counter. I brought my bedding over to the 8 loader machine near the dryers and put my stuff down. I went to get change, and while it was dispensing the coins, all of a sudden this guy (I don't know his name but he has a facial tattoo) approaches me from no where, while I'm getting my change out of the machine, and abruptly asked me if I'm doing laundry here. I was very taken aback by this, and told him yes hesitantly because I have no idea who he is or where this convo is going. He then tells me only customers are allowed to get change. I again told him I'm doing laundry in the 8 loader machine, and my stuff is over there. He then walks away, turns around, and comes back to me while I'm still getting my $20 worth of quarters, and mutters something while he is approaching me, and then mentions I shouldn't be sarcastic. What?! I looked at him like he had three heads and didn't respond because he clearly doesn't understand the word sarcastic or what sarcasm actually is (see this is written sarcasm right now!) because cautiously hesitant is not the same. Clearly there is an issue with random people wanting to use the machines for change that aren't customers. However, there is nothing on the coin dispensary machines, store windows, doors or even the counter to state this unknown fact--and if there is, and I missed it, then the sign is small and hidden in an array of other stickers or posted signs on tiny window between the sliding doors and the regular swinging door so make it BIGGER!! Secondly, this guy clearly doesn't know how to correctly confront customers/people in a place of business without acting like an inept, uneducated, aggressive jerk. And thirdly, since no one was in the laundromat, he should have been at the counter until 8pm, when the doors get locked and everything gets shut down. This experience with the employee was so off putting and the fact that supplies are almost never in stock, and there seems to be a lack of machines (or people not taking their items out in a timely manner), I'm not coming back to this place again--I can't wait to try the new laundromat over on Mack and Van Dyke run by Macc Development Commons. I'm sure they won't lock up the shop with customers inside of it, while he leaves and goes next door before closing time. Wow.. read more

I can't say enough about this place!! Clean, free WiFi, business area to plug your phone, iPad or laptop into. Awesome place to use if you live in the "D", come to Detroit on business. You can also have your items laundered and folded if you don't feel like doing it yourself. Keep up the good work!!! read more

If you need to drop laundry, this place is great. Large area kept very clean with plenty of machines if you're their to wait and do your own. We left 10 pounds of laundry for $10 and it was washed and folded in 2 hours! Saved us a heap while staying at a hotel downtown. Friendly helpful lady served us. We'll definitely come here again. read more

After the recent flooding in my area, I had a huge pile of ski clothes, blankets, sleeping bag, comforter, towels and rugs that I didn't want to throw away but had no way to sanitize or restore. Lafayette Laundry's drop off service (only $1 per pound for wash, dry & fold!) was a life saver. You can do all your own laundry and get a bunch done fast in their spacious, clean and lovely facility (free wi-fi!). Or you can let their helpful attendants do it for you, as described. Don't let Detroit location scare you, large, lit (free) parking lot, just east of Greektown in safe neighborhood on Lafayette. read more

Nice place. Staff is friendly and place is clean and safe. Free wifi and laundry equipment seems to work good. Happy I came.

Laundry came out perfect. Dropped off at 7am and it was ready at 9. Team is very friendly. They even asked if I had any workout clothes as they wash those differently. LaFayette Laundry is the best fluff and fold I have used in Detroit. I will be coming back for my next wash. read more

We use the wash/dry/fold service. They are efficient and our clothes come out great. The only complaints: They don't answer the phone, and don't let you know when your order is ready for pick up unless requested. They have no formal process... But D is great! read more

The service was great. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is because it's cash only and very expensive. read more

This is a great laundry mat. The building is clean and spacious. The machines work, and are very fast. There are lots of counters to sort and fold on. The people working there are really friendly and helpful. In fact, the other customers are really friendly too, and gave me advise about how many quarters I needed in the dryer. (Not as many as I would have guessed!) THis place even has a nice area for little kids. The prices are very reasonable, and it is the closest laundry mat to down town Detroit and the Ren Center. The vending machines sell detergent and fabric softeners, and others have snacks and beverages. Excellent convenience. read more

Don't let the fact that this place is located in Detroit fool you. After the recent flooding in metro Detroit, Lafayette Laundry came to my house in Royal Oak and picked up bags upon bags of laundry (as well as my neighbor's) and took it to their facility. It was soaked, sanitized, washed, fluffed and folded. It came back looking and smelling better than I've ever been able to accomplish at home. Their friendliness, willingness to help someone going through a stressful time and the quality of their services is beyond compare. I would highly recommend this place to anyone living or visiting in the city and metro Detroit. read more
