This laundromat is a little gem. The owners are so helpful. As long as you wash with them soap, softener and dryer sheets are free. Stop on by

Old photo of the business that hangs inside. Lots of neat little historical details like this to check out while you pass the time!

Came here a bit frazzled due to our dryer taking a dump on us but had a remarkably smooth experience! All the machines appear to be newer and in good working order, everything is kept very clean. They had Bewitched on the tv and were playing old blues music so a cool atmosphere as opposed to reading old Reader's Digest while loud kids spill detergent everywhere. The space itself is pretty small and tight so not a lot of chairs for waiting, BUT there's a neat bar/restaurant and bodega across the street to go to, or you can do what I did and take I nice stroll around the lovely historic neighborhood. It's been almost 10 years since I had to pay to do my laundry so I'm not sure what the going rates are these days, but it didn't seem like much more than I used to pay at my old apartments circa 2012. Dryer rate is 25 cents/5 minutes and it took about 35 to dry a regular load and around an hour to dry another regular load that was extra wet due to our washer at home not spinning out. I can't speak to the washing experience as I was only there to dry, but I did chat with a couple there who said they were very happy with it. The people who run the place are very nice and helpful and there's some cool old historic photos/documents hanging up as the building is very old. Hopefully I get my laundry situation fixed at home , but let's just say I wouldn't mind hauling around dirty clothes and quarters again if it meant coming here!

Perfect spot to take care of laundry, whether you're locally-based or from out of town! Clean. Fresh. Shiny, reliable machines and friendly service. I look forward to my visit to this darling launderette each year when visiting from Houston!

Need I say more? This place is amazing! Not only because the leave water out like cookies for Santa at Christmas but because there is always someone working here and it's super SUPER clean!!! In the year I have been coming here I have NEVER been disappointed!!!

It all fit!!

Moving my daughter into her dorm at University of Puget Sound and needed to "Mom" a little more by washing her sheets, duvet, pillowcases, robe and blankets. This gem is located very close to campus, super helpful explaining how the machines work (HUGE washers, I was able to fit it all in one!) and with the app you don't even need cash, though there is a change machine. Highly recommend!!

Very clean and cute little Launderette! I prefer going here rather than using my apartments provided washers. It's always super clean.

Washer didn't actually wash anything, didn't turn on at all. The guy yelled at me saying it ran twice. Skip this place.

This neighborhood laundromat on 35th and Madison has been a local staple for years, but the recent…read morechange in ownership has brought some really exciting energy to the place! The new owners are clearly working incredibly hard to give the space the TLC it deserves. You can see the progress in the much-needed upgrades they're making--not just aesthetically to make it a more pleasant place to wait, but mechanically and electronically as well. As with any new endeavor, there have been a few minor hiccups along the way, but what impresses me most is how quick they are to respond and how dedicated they are to fixing and cleaning. A few reasons I keep coming back: Consistency: It is consistently clean and accessible. Affordability: The prices are fair, and their loyalty app is a game changer. If you're like me and do laundry every week, being able to earn dollars off future loads really adds up! Hours: Their operating hours are fantastic and very convenient for a busy schedule. I really appreciate the hard work the new team is putting in to keep this corner laundromat a reliable part of our community. Definitely recommend checking them out!

I guess it's the new owners I don't know for sure I'm sure it is because my daughter told me about…read morethem in the past.. she told me she wouldn't go back there because the owner's wife locked the doors start counting the money while she was in there.. well today I experienced them for myself.. there's only two tables and one of the tables the husband and another guy that works there had a bunch of machine parts over one of the tables.. this about 3:00 in the afternoon now it's crowded in there no sitting room only one table left I use two of the big dryers by the door and three smaller dryers they're all close by the door now and everybody's coming in and out the door the wife decides she wants to clean up she wants to sweep.. I dropped two dry sheets on the ground and here comes the owner with a broom like where are you really going with this broom you can't wait.. well one thing for sure I would never go back into that establishment again not why they own that business.. I stay in a apartment complex walking distance I'm telling everybody about this rudeness I have been going there over 20 years never again..

I've been coming here for years. They did add some new machines a couple years ago but I felt they…read moreweren't any better than the ones they already had there but they were more expensive. Supposedly they hold more, but when you fill them up it's about the same- also the machines always make you put in an extra quarter! (The new, large machines in the front). Always use the big ones that they moved to the back. $5.50 for a big load (at least 2 normal loads worth of laundry). We have seen this place in every state imaginable over the last 6 1/2 years. It flooded once, nightmare for taco Del Mar since no one is on site for the laundromat . It is usually not very clean. They redid the carpet about a year ago to make it nicer but people are just slobs. There will always be an assortment of dryer sheets, dry laundry detergent, lint, assorted trash and left behind clothes. I have avoided coming here as much as possible during Covid since it's not the cleanest during normal times. The good news is that even though it's small, the machines are usually all working. I've been to some places where half the machines are out and that's super frustrating. I did have one time where the machine didn't work and took my money and I reported it to the owners and got my money back but the process is annoying and time consuming. The other folks doing laundry are usually nice enough to warn you if a machine is having issues before you try to use it.

Their mach takes your money and doesn't register as paid. Con returns don't work. Then 5.50 dollars…read morein it just registering coins. I'm out the money and have to restart on a different machine. A second machine took a dollar 25. No answer on the phone Number on the door. No prompt call left after message.
