JULY 2026: I was fortunate enough to stay a while at the nearby campground, so when my laundry bag…read moregot a little full, I thought I would head over to the Linden Laundromat to wash a single load of laundry. Another camper told me she had seen bad reviews of this business, but I dismissed the idea as a few outlying cranks who always show up in the review threads. I had hoped my observations would debunk the negative reviews, but as it turns out, there is a sound basis for those reviews, with the only positive reviews for the Linden Laundromat dating back years ago. At first glance the laundromat looks pleasant enough, but in retrospect, I now realize that I've never actually seen the place busy. Indeed, it seems the locals know better, and the two other customers I encountered during my visit were from out of town. I usually prefer to use a front-loading washer, but for such a small load, I figured I would use the smaller top-loading machine. Well, I thought wrong. It turns out that all 12 of the top-loading washing machines were tagged "out of service". While some of the top-loaders were clearly inoperative, I find it hard to believe all 12 machines broke down at the same time, so I concur with the other reviewer who suspects the machines were deliberately shut down to steer customers to the more expensive machines. Which brings us then to the double capacity front-loading machines. While the smaller machines were already pricey at $3.50 per load, the double capacity machines will set you back $4.75 per load. I was willing to pay the extra buck, but upon inspection, I found several of these machines were a bit dilapidated, and while I did not open all 9 machines, each of the three I did open smelled badly of mildew. (Pro tip: if the machine smells like mildew, find another machine; you will barely be able to smell the mildew on your clothes, but it will definitely be there.) So now I'm looking at the even larger triple capacity machine. All of the triple-loaders were a little newer than the previous machines, and more importantly, none smelled of mildew. However, this came with a cost, as these machines required a whopping 30 quarters (almost a full roll), for a total of $7.50. For a single load. However, even at $7.50 for my single load, I counted myself lucky as I watched the couple in the adjoining 4-load machine struggle to insert the 38 quarters required for that machine. It turns out the owners don't collect the change from the machines often enough, and the coin bin was full, thus preventing the customer from getting credit for each coin, while also preventing the customer from getting their money back via the coin return. Of course, this problem did not present itself until the customer had already put $8.00 into the machine, so they had no choice but to keep stuffing more quarters into the slot, until they were finally able to reach the magic number of $9.50 (the guy told me they actually spent $11 to reach $9.50 in the machine). Of course, some of these issues could be handled by an attendant, but none was to be found. One last observation: while my clothes did come out clean, the machine I ended up using never kicked into "overdrive" during the spin cycle, thus costing me a bit more time in the dryer. So while I went to the Linden Laundromat expecting to refute the critics, it turns out they were right. It's hard to escape the conclusion that the owners have stopped caring, and are content to rake in the coins from the unwary traveler who only realizes too late that there are other laundry options in Carpinteria.

I had ask her if she could change my coin change to quarters. I had loaded my two large loads and cashed my bills for quarters using their coin machine. But I was short so I got my coin pouch and needed change. She told me to use the coin machine. I had reply to her that I'm not changing bills. I clarified I wanted to change my coins for quarters. So told me they don't do that to go to Albertsons change my change. I was livid it was super bowl day and the trip to the grocery store was a waste of an hour in line. I also needed help with the machines not working so I called the # on the wall. As the lady had left for lunch break. After explaining the deal to the store manager (other worker). She told me she be here in 30 mins. She told me she would talk to her. Because that's un expectable for her to deny me change. She was so rude and unprofessional. The store manager explain to me she was wrong because that's part of her job. Avoid this place. The machines hardly work it's always the machines didn't work during the spin cycle and you waste more $$ in drying. I appreciate the store manager but that worker was so rude. I wanted to give her piece of my mind but I had started my first cycle n needed to go to the grocery store. I was never given an apology.
