There are actually few choices for self serve wash in Charlottesville. They also will wash for you…read moretoo! The hotel recommended Hydraulic with them not offering laundry. It was nearby the Hampton Inn Charlottesville India. Parking was adequate, but they did get busy on a Sunday morning and most spaces filled. For rookies when entering you go to the right wall and purchase a wash card. A nice staffer assisted me. Then head over to vending to get detergent, softer and dryer sheets. The business is loaded with equipment which makes it seem small. There are a few tables and stools to sit. Also a few folding tables. The machines are Electrolux and worked great! I washed a sheet for my daughter in just under a hour. No issues. Before departing a customer picked up her laundry washed by staff and he even carried it to her car. That elevated my review. A 3.5 seems perfect, but rounding up with excellent service that was not expected.

I was in Charlottesville attending training at FEI. This is the laundry service that FEI utilizes…read morefor their students. I sent out 4 shirts, 2 pair of slacks and one weeks worth of laundry. My bill was $60.00. On top of that, I did not get some of my dress socks back. I called Browns to inquire about my missing socks. No one answered but I got a message machine telling me to leave my name and number, which I did. After one week and no return call I called back and got the same answering machine. I left another message and as of this writing (2 weeks later) I still have not received a call. I have made the staff at FEI aware of this lousy service and advised them to contract with another company. For the record there is another laundry service further down the road from Browns (I think their name is Carriage cleaners) that I walked to during my stay there. I carried 2 weeks of laundry, 6 shirts, 3 slacks and my bill was around $35.00. And, they gave all my socks back.

This is browns cleaners, the one behind barracks road shopping center…read more The people that work here are really nice, but the place itself is extremely problematic. The owners are never here, the same few machines have been broken for the past few months, the middle big washer has to be opened with a screwdriver, the water runs hotter than it should and the AC is never on. These are minor things that aren't that bad, and combined just become minor inconveniences. The icing on the cake though, was the amount of black mold I found in multiple washers today! BLACK MOLD!!! They are allowing people to wash their clothes in this! The staff told me "we can't do anything about it" as I STRUGGLED to find enough washers to get my clothes going. This is DISGUSTING and can make people SICK. Please share so that other people will know about this and not only avoid what I just went through (switching between multiple washers) but so they don't get sick from washing their clothes in this!

After reading the generally bad reviews on Rudy's and hearing some other bad things about them via…read moreword-of-mouth, I was pleasantly surprised by their service. The staff at the desk were polite during both visits. They were FAST and I was able to pick up my two items at 3 pm the next day, even though I was an hour early. Although my clothes weren't particularly soiled when I brought them, I think they did an acceptable job of cleaning and pressing them, and the paper tags were stapled into the tags of the shirt and the dress, NOT the fabric itself! Hooray! The only negative comment I have is the expense. My rayon/nylon work dress cost almost $11 to clean, whereas it cost less than half that in a northern VA dry cleaner. The dress shirt was pretty standard cost, a little over $5. My friend graciously drove me to the store to drop off my clothes, but it turned out it was just as easy to take the UTS bus down JPA. Although I picked Rudy's because it was pretty convenient, I won't hesitate to go there again (provided there's good service in the future!) when I need to have clothes dry-cleaned in Charlottesville.

These J Brand 258 dollar a pair jeans bottoms were not reattached and were thrown out even though I gave specific instructions. They did say I'm sorry. Don't make the 500 dollar mistake I did.

This place used to be a gold mind. Last year it was bought out by someone new. The new owner is…read more extremely rude and disrespectful. I bought in a wedding dress to have steamed. I came back to pick it up, and when I paid for it the owner rebuked me and was extremely hostile. He got in my face and said the price was not right and the next time I came in the dress would cost me three times the price I paid this time. I would not have been upset if he had just said there was a mistake in the pricing and been slightly kind, but he was so incredibly rude and made us feel threatened we left in a hurry. If he treats customers like this, can only imagine how he treats his employees The staff members were wonderful and so friendly, but I can not support a business who treats clients so poorly and then tells me, "OH WEll" when confronted later about his abusive behavior.

Bianca, hope I spelled it right, was just a gem! Very pleasant and helpful in explaining my options and when they would be ready. WOW, excellent service and laundry was better than I could do it. Lots of cars in the parking lot, and still plenty of washers/dryers available for DIYers. Even though my drive will take me 35minutes one-way, I am going to make it a habit to do all of my laundry at ELC! Now I go there every week! (not in my other review) Well Done!
