Updated review. This is post pandemic. Thinking the sanitation should be top notch. But no! Speed Washateria is a place to avoid.
I came here to wash my mattress topper. The instructions said to use front loading washing machine, which I don't own one. But I have front loading dryer at home. So, here I am washing my laundry with the rest of neighbors without laundry facility on the premises.
It was not bad dealing with shop keepers. I got my change and instructions on which machine to use to be efficient. The lady even loaded my stuff on a cart and pushed to the machine.
I put my fragrance-free detergent (I'm allergic to fragrant of any sort) in the dispenser. That thing was in need of deep cleaning. Some softeners were hardened on the lid. Somehow, my laundry came out with fragrance.
I hung around the machine as it stopped right on schedule. Then, I transferred it to a dryer. Not that far. I put enough coins to give me 30 minutes of drying time in low setting. I patiently waited for 30 minutes and it still had 8 minutes to go.
Then, I started to get anxious. I know the moment I open it; the time will drop to 1 minute. But I didn't care. I'm ready to go home. Because this place is getting ridiculous.
A couple of employees were cleaning the lint off of dryer vents. One was vacuuming screens and one was sweeping lint. None of them wore masks. It's not about catching anything but it's to protect their lungs from breathing in dust. I even sneezed a few times while waiting.
Then, I heard a loud post nasal drip suction sound. I looked up, yuk. The employee spit into the trash bin like it was her sputum.
That's it. I'm out of here. I'll dry it the rest of the way in my hot car. read more
