Tons of loose dirt on the white.
Sarah C.

Let me start by saying, I've used this place for at least the last 9 years. Never had a problem. I have done blankets, shirts, dresses, my Sister-in-law's wedding dress to be boxed.. all of it. So a few months ago, a man very close to me passed away and left me some Pendleton Wool blankets. One of which he passed away on. One of them had previously been dry cleaned. I brought both in for cleaning. I didn't tell them one had a death on it and the other was clean. I just told them I needed the dog hair off them and to be dry cleaned, one was in obvious need of some work. I was told they'd be outsourced, like normal with bigger blanket jobs, I came to pick them up some days later and was told they were done but the hair problem wasn't resolved. I was charged $90 total. I had no plans on using the blankets so they stayed stored. Last night, I went to start getting the hair off and realized nothing had been done. Not even dry cleaned. There was the same bread crumbs on the blanket the man died on and lots of brushable dust spots, visible dog pee and the smell.. it was bad. So this morning, i took them in and asked if she remembered the blankets. She said yes. I opened the bigger blanket up and said "they were not dry cleaned. She immediately got defensive and rude. I literally picked crumbs off in front of the gal that was very persistent saying she watched them dry clean them herself. (Funny considering I was told they were done at a different facility). Then I told her about the second one and how it was folded the same as when I originally brought them in. I went to unfold it and found the Receipt from the Alpine dry cleaning store still wrapped up in the blanket. I told her about that situation and she just kept denying it with no explanation. I walked out and she proceeded to speak to the next customer about it as I got in my vehicle. So, with all that being said, do not use this place if you value your money. Definitely don't bring them your expensive blankets. **Also, note, I was fine with prices knowing darn well they were going to take work. However, knowing they did nothing and took my money, I am livid.

See all

Do not bother to bring your clothing. Save yourself the trouble and choose another cleaner. Late and unreliable.

Clean, modern, great dryers, Apple Pay AND genuinely nice people?! I think I found my new…read morelaundromat. My usual laundromat was randomly closed on Sunday, so I had a whole car full of clothes and bedding with nowhere to go. This has happened before, and I've been meaning to find a backup, but every other place I'd tried either didn't take cards or had those evil dryers that somehow require 17 cycles and STILL leave your clothes damp. So I did what any reasonable person would do and went on Yelp to figure out where the Señoras would go- because they do NOT play when it comes to their laundry. This place popped up, had great pictures, took cards, and looked clean, so I figured, "Welp, I'm already here. Let's see what happens." When I walked in, I immediately started looking around trying to figure out where the heck you actually pay and how everything worked. Joshua noticed me looking confused, I told him it was my first time, and he walked me through the whole place. He showed me the Laundry Boss app, which is honestly so futuristic compared to the old-school quarter situation. You scan the QR code on the machine, set up your account, load money using Apple Pay, and start your machine right from your phone. As someone who never carries cash, I was SOLD. Joshua also let me know they have a drop-off laundry service (I always assumed that was one of those things that costs an arm and a leg, so I'd never even looked into it) but the pricing seemed reasonable especially if you can pick it up the next day, I always assumed it took several days, And everything gets washed, dried, perfectly folded and packed up for you- They can even drive to you and pick up your laundry from your house! I could see this being really helpful for mom's with kids at home and busy schedules or people like me who waited too long and now have to wash clothes, towels and bedding at the same time Joshua was super kind and genuinely seemed to enjoy helping people. While my laundry was going, I wandered around and started reading all the funny plaques on the walls and noticed this big "Hero Among Us" plaque and Joshua told me the story behind the owner, who apparently is very involved in the community -- doing turkey giveaways, coaching at the local high school, and actually coming into the laundromat during the week to make sure everything is running smoothly. And honestly, you can tell. While I was folding my clothes, I watched Joshua greeting other customers by name and chatting with some of the older folks. He clearly takes pride in what he does, and the whole place has this feeling that it's actually for the community, rather than just being another giant laundry chain where you're fighting with a broken machine over your last three quarters. Also, THE MACHINES. Everything I used was clean and working, and the dryers actually DRY YOUR CLOTHES. I didn't have to put anything through multiple cycles, which should honestly be the bare minimum but apparently isn't. They also have these really cool laundry baskets where one side is higher than the other, making it way easier to pull everything out of the washers without your clothes tumbling onto the floor. It's such a small detail, but when you're washing a million things, little details matter. The location is convenient too. There's an ice cream shop, Mexican food, and this funky little shop next door that seems to sell approximately EVERYTHING. So if you need something to do while your laundry is running (or phone dies) you've got options. My only feedback: I was VERY excited to see they had snacks and sodas because I spotted a Cactus Cooler and I swear I haven't had one in forever. Unfortunately, those were exact-change only. I never have coins on me, so I had to walk away from that Cactus Cooler and I'm still thinking about it. But now I know. Next time, I'm bringing quarters AND my laundry. I originally came here because my usual place was closed, but I left thinking this might actually be my new spot. Clean machines, dryers that do their ONE JOB, easy Apple Pay, thoughtful little details, fair drop-off pricing, and employees who actually seem to care about the people coming through the door. 10/10 would voluntarily do laundry here again. ++(Bonus points if you find the bobble head of Mr Boss Man )

The absolute best customer service. I did the wash and fold and Sheena was fantastic. Very simple…read moreprocess. I will definitely be back. If you read this review, I'm telling you, just go here use the wash and fold service. It's worth it.
