Clothes hanging all over and no owner in sight

Aloha, I come to do laundry here around twice a week. It used to be so clean when the two brothers owned it but I know it has changed ownership within the year. I've seen the cleanliness dramatically decline since then. Being a 24 hour laundromat it invites homeless and people that are just looking for a place to hang out not necessarily even doing laundry. I have to come early in the morning around 4:30-5 am to do laundry most mornings because of my work schedule and lately when I've been coming there's been homeless people just hanging out in there, doing pushups going through bags and purses, messing with the machines and just looking way too sketchy for me to walk past their bikes and enter the laundromat by myself while it's dark out and no one else is around. I notice I don't see many people there doing laundry any more in the morning like I used to and I wonder if it's because they too don't want to enter in. The other morning after the sketchy three people left, there was a car muffler, cigarette ashes on counters, random weights on washer, a purse the woman had been digging through and left behind, the laundry cart flipped over, nails in the dryer, and a wrapper from a needle and hair clogging the one sink in the laundromat. The previous owners would be there every morning early around 4:30 am always cleaning, mopping, wiping down the machines. I wonder if the new owner isn't present on island. There's no number to reach him or her but if I owned this laundromat I would want to work on keeping it clean, maybe having an attendant during the hours of midnight to 5 am, or maybe just closing it down between those hours. A lot of us need to wash our clothes here weekly so it would be nice to have it feel safe and clean once again. Mahalo for your time.

We don't usually need to go to a laundromat, but if we need to use one for our comforters and large blankets, this is where we'd go. It's a clean place that gets looked after every few hours. The machines are also well maintained and clean. There is a change machine, as well as a machine offering detergent and softer if needed. There are long folding tables and baskets if you need them. On the folding tables there is also a place to hang your hangers. The machines are pretty large, in a Triple Load we could fit 3 large blankets (not comforters, that could probably fit 2) with a lot of room for it to tumble freely. The dryer has only one setting and that is high. So if you have delicates, I'd suggest hanging them dry. Parking is in the front and if that's all taken, there is street parking available.

One side of washing heaven....

Okay...because I went here, I got a chance to do a review of Moke's Bed and Breakfast, also. For planning sakes, this is the perfect place to wash clothes if you also want to eat while you wait. Park at the laundry, walk a quarter block to the left, and eat. We use laundermats to wash our really big items. I'll get to the point and say this is the best laundermat on the island!!! Clean. Lots of washers and dryers. There's soap. There's a change machine that takes bills all the way up to a twenty. A thorough wash takes about 40ish minutes but the dryers are super efficient (i.e. quick). I will say, it's a little pricey but I'm not marking it down for that. You get what you pay for. And you get roosters roosting at you for entertainment. Come early, or not on a Friday or Sunday.

Relaxed environment with chickens hanging out in the parking lot. The parking lot almost filled up while I was there (8am on a Wednesday). There are 9 spots plus one handicapped spot. There is a detergent dispenser that costs $1 for detergent, $1 for dryer sheets, and $1 for a laundry bag. There are a couple options for each. There is also a coin dispenser that accepts $1, $5, $10, and $20. The small washers cost $3.50, triple loads are $7, and the 50lb giant wash is $9. The large dryers are 2 minutes for $0.25 and the regular dryers are 3 minutes for $0.25. There is also ample seating inside the laundromat.

Needed to wash a white shirt before the juice I spilt on it dried up. It was close to where I was. Facility is clean. It has quarter machines that take up to 20$ bills. 1$ laundry detergent dispensers. Normal and large washer/driers. Price I can't really comment on as I don't frequent laundry mats often if at all but the prices aren't on the machines. They are on the wall above a row of machines, but poorly labeled. Just says "Triple load 7.00"; for someone unskilled in the art of washing cloths it makes no sense to me. I just kept sticking quarters in until it swallowed what I think was 7$ before it started.

The view from the street.

See all

Kailua Washerette

(4 reviews)

I love this washerette!…read more I currently live in Waimanalo, here for a summer internship from the mainland. My family has lived on the Leeward side before going back to the mainland, and staying on the Windward side has always been confusing to me. I'm currently live alone in Waimanalo and the closest washerette is pretty expensive. I take the extra commute just to walk from the bus stop to here because of how easy going it is. The laundromat is open to let air flow through (no AC) but the laundromat is open 24/7, so you can come here after work or school. After my internship, I usually come here late at night to do my laundry which is nice. The weekends are usually a bit busy, and pretty cramped considering the five parking spots. But the washers and dryers are reasonably priced. Of course it is much more expensive here than on the mainland, it's comfortable and cozy. Provides many seats and folding areas, and a vending machine for drinks since it gets hot. There is a coin machine to exchange your bills and little carts to transport your clothes. Music is playing which is nice, and if you don't want to stay in here, McDonald's is in walking distance and so is Longs and Target. Since I'm new on this side of the Island and im visiting, i sometimes buy new clothes at goodwill and Salvation Army while or before I go to the laundromat (which are in walking distance) for me to wash the extra load. Regular commercial sized washers are 3.50 and so are the dryers. But if you need bigger washers and dryers, they go up a bit. BEST washerette ever. You're there for yourself and there's no employees or manager breathing down your neck to do things properly. I come here every Saturday Morning or Friday Nights!

Lots of high powered machines to get your laundry done quickly. The shop is always clean.read more

So great! When we found out our hotel didn't have coin operated laundry and they suggested Tama we…read moredecided to try them! So convenient! Downloaded the app and entered my info and scheduled a pick up time. Dropped off our laundry at our front desk and Tama texted the progress the whole way, from pick up to delivery so there was no guessing or worrying of what was going on. Even the take a picture to estimate how many pounds of laundry you have was accurate. Laundry arrived folded nicely in plastic bags. Highly professional, efficient and easy, very much recommend!

Just received our laundry back from Tama and highly recommend!…read more Between all the beach activities and the heat, my husband was going through his clothes rapidly on our trip to Waikiki. Our hotel did not have laundry facilities so we sent our laundry off to Tama and it all came back clean, fresh, and neatly folded. I really appreciated how the underwear and socks were bagged separately. You can pick what detergent you want and they can accommodate for allergies. The turnaround time is defaulted to 48 hours, but I called and Brian was so friendly in changing our order to rush service along with explaining how pickup and drop off works. Got all our clothes back in 24 hours. We left our bag with the bell desk and did not have to wait around for the pick up/drop off. The online interface was extremely easy to use. Of course you are paying a premium above using a laundromat, but it is worth it while on vacation and for hassle-free service.
