Can I start off by telling you how much I HATE laundry mats. However my dryer went out and hasn't been replaced yet and well the laundry doesn't stop piling up, so to the dreaded laundry mat I go.
However, this wasn't the typical laundry mat. I walked in and was greeted by Adrianna, who I guess from the look on my face knew it was my first time. She explained the different size machines, showed me how they work and suggested I download the app versus putting quarters in the machine (they do accept them and there is a change machine) - so I can get emails and build loyalty points. The app accepted Apple Pay however she did let me know that there were no refunds, so if I loaded $20 and only used $15, I would just have a $5 credit.
I drag all my stuff in and get started but unlike other places, the machines provide the detergent (you have options, tide, gain or sensitive tide) as well as color safe bleach. For an extra charge you can request extra for those extra stinky loads.
Also on the app you can tell how much time is left on your wash and dry and it gives you an alarm option for a one minute before it stops.
Drying was just as easy as they provide the dryer sheets! Seriously folks how many times have you forgotten something and dreaded having to go to the machine and buy it. You don't have to worry about that here.
Lots of spots to fold your laundry, they have lots of seating, have a TV and offer free coffee, clean bathrooms, a vending machine for snacks but the one thing that impressed me the most although I'll never utilize was the kids corner!!!! It had child appropriate shows as well as toys so they can play while work gets done. I also saw outlets so you can charge your phone while you are waiting.
But wait . . . There's more!!! If you are like me and hate doing laundry, they have a drop off service where they will do it for you!!!! Washed, folded and bagged all for a small fee (check out my picture for current price of this post).
Adrianna gets to know her customers and she doesn't allow loitering - which I appreciate because I tend to walk away from my stuff from time to time (yes, I know, stupid), so she's there keeping an eye out for folks.
There's plenty of free parking on the backside, as well as an entrance, so you don't have to walk around.
And the kicker, I washed 5 loads of laundry (don't judge me), dried them and folded them and was out of there in just over an hour!!
So this is now my spot for laundry and I don't feel rushed to replace that dryer, but when I do, I'll still keep coming by for those loads during the summer (iykyk!) read more
