I drive past here and seldom see anyone washing but it's been here existing for a great while. Obviously neighborhood peeps know about it and use as necessary.
Few businesses are still left in this little strip mall with ample parking. The grounds inside are monitored by security cameras. Two coin machines are inside and signage indicates exchange should be for laundry customers only.
If it's warm out prepare to sweat. Few if any fans, though at least they have a TV with news shows running. The place is somewhat maintained. Based on looks the person probably sweeps up but that is it. Though usually, it's looking unkempt. As if nobody checks in on the place to wipe, sanitize, put in order or clean up.
Surf reviews via Yelp or across the web for photos. Several of the washers have gunk build up in the soap reservoirs. The discoloration is definitely mildew and possibly mold, so try to choose wisely. Seeing it in person made me think twice.
Needed to wash some winter blankets, comforters, bath rugs and sweaters so decided to try. Cost for their Speed Queens was higher than my old place but with limited location options, not much choice there. Speed queen is a brand of laundry equipment that is frequently found in laundromats. They are made in the regular size which handles the typical household sized load and larger machines which can take blankets, towels, comforters or the occasional big ass load of clothes. They are built for the heavy loads that customers can sometimes require. For those with larger loads of laundry, find the large SQ machines and finish your day faster. Unfortunately though, while the business is unattended, there are many signs indicating that rug washing is not allowed. Bummer for me.
I ended up washing towels and blankets only. Stopped after the wash cycle and decided to go elsewhere for drying. Based on reviews, some dryers aren't as efficient as others and I don't want to spend my whole afternoon figuring which is which. Something kept bothering me though, seeing black gunk in the soap reservoir of the washer I wondered if any mildew/ mold could have transferred smells or other onto the washed items. So, I ended up going elsewhere to wash them again. And hey! I found a new, new spot to go! read more
