I've been going to this laundromat for 2 years, because it looked to be the best one in the area. About 6 months ago I noticed that even when the washing machines are turned to HOT the water gets luke warm at best. (If you don't believe me, use one of the top loading machines that do not lock during the wash, let it fill with supposed 'hot' water, and stick your hand in it).
I had resigned myself to believing that perhaps all laundromats in the city keep their water temperature low to save costs and continued to use this location - until today. I tried the other laundromat in the area and to my surprise, their hot water is ACTUALLY HOT.
If you don't mind washing all your clothes in cold water then this place is fine - but I will be making the extra 1 block walk from now on. Enough leftover soap residue and not-so-clean-smelling clothes for me. read more
