I explained that I'm going to a wedding on Saturday and he told me no problem. Each piece was $5 and they prefer cash payments.

I showed up on Saturday at 10:30 and viola my clothes were ready. I appreciate the quick turnaround. Keep in mind the price on your ticket are for the clothes and tax will be added at pick up.

Look, I consider myself at least a semi-reasonable fellow. Mistakes sometimes happen, and sometimes…read morea business has the misfortune of a mistake happening with a customer's first visit. Yet, it is how a business chooses to respond that makes the difference. Case-in-point: one of the shirts I dropped off was a victim of a battle I'd had with a bowl of ramen. The result was tiny oily stains on the front. Generally, dry cleaners have no issue with stains of this kind. Further, when I asked the gentleman behind the counter what chemical they use, he stated it was "Perk" (writing it out). I will assume he meant "Perc"c as in "Perchloroethylene", a chemical which dissolves oil. All this to say, when I picked up the shirt, the stains were still there. I called this out, and asked "Isn't perc. supposed to dissolve oil?" The response given was that the machine was very full. (By the way, isn't Perc banned in Illinois?) I am confident I pointed these out, but even if not "We're sorry, you did not call out attention to these so we were unaware" may have been be reasonable. What was said was not only a poor excuse, but also an indication of a half-hearted job. Stuffing a machine so full it cannot clean means nothing inside gets effectively cleaned. Now, I want to give them some credit where it is due. When the shirt in question was redone, the stains were gone. The other items I had cleaned were also done properly, and I've no complaints. Other than the half-hearted excuse, it seemed the clerk was knowledgeable, as he suggested which items should be laundered, and which should be dry cleaned based on their material, however, I am not sure how much confidence I have with this, as I'd been having these items laundered easily dozens of times without issue. Thus, based on my experience, Newstyle did a solid job making my clothes clean and pressed - however, this required two visits, seeing past an excuse, and comes with the caveat that the machine in use may be stuffed over capacity and thus unable to clean effectively.

The price is great at Newstyle, and I'm very well sure that i will return in the future for cleaning my clothing items.

However, when I picked up the coat I found that 1) the coat was not completely cleaned and 2) the repair looked like it had been done by a drunk person. The small tears are now replaced by a wad of stitching the size of a quarter and I'm not sure it can be fixed. I'll have to take it somewhere else and see. Long story short: I would not recommend this place as a cleaner and DEFINITELY not as place for repairs or alterations.

Load the baskets throw them in the car and hike them into the laundromat. Whatever happened to the art of doing laundry and socializing at the laundromat? I think I found a place set in bringing wash day back old school. Constantly on search for a cool laundromat I stumbled into Happy Hamper and glad I did. They have a good size parking lot which is a huge plus in the city. Paved clean and smooth. Looks fresh that tells you they care about their property. Upon entry I noticed the cool hanging art happy wallpaper and the modern decor. I also noticed how clean spacious and well appointed it is. And it smells good in here!! Then the music. AC/DC cranking jams out of the speakers, then a 50s tune, then a song in Spanish and loop around to more cool rock and pop hits. The vibe was immediately set. An eclectic crowd and something for everyone. The machines are clean well taken care of and folding tables clean and newer. Reasonable prices and a very well taken care of spot. The televisions played a mix of sports and cartoons. In the corner a baby high chair for customers with children. The attendant Sam was really friendly and welcomed me and was busy keeping things up. That never happens in a laundromat. She obviously runs a tight ship. I haven't been in a decent laundromat like this in a long time. I now have a new home. All around pretty dope laundromat in Edgewater neighborhood. Check it out.

Clean and friendly but at $5.50 PER WASH, never again! Thank you for your attention to this matter.read more
