Rainbow Laundromat

There’s fresh dog poop in their parking lot waiting to get all over your car tires.
Thank you rainbow laundromat :)

We will never visit this place again. The only reason we went there was because our usual place was too busy and this was the next nearest Laundromat.
1. Dirty
2. The machines are more expensive and instead of telling you what the price is, it tells you the # of quarters you need.
3. The machines do not tell you how much time is left for the load. And if you don’t read the symbols correctly, you might accidentally put your liquid laundry detergent in the wrong space, like the softener — so your clothes end up not rinsed all the way.
4. Many of the machines were out of order.
5. my BIGGEST complaint — the dryers simply take forever. We always split our loads up to cut drying time. Even splitting the loads into two and having small loads in the dryer, we were there for almost an hour and it just kept sucking quarter after quarter. They just don’t get hot.
6. There is no sink — so when I got soap all over my hands, I had no way to wash it off and had to deal with sticky hands.
7. Only street parking. So if you have to park a block down, you have to hoof it up with your loads.

You think the bonuses of having the place not far from where I live, being next to a restaurant, across from Dominio’s, and near a convenient store would make this place more appealing to me. However the downsides are kinda of what loses it for me.
1. As many times as I’ve visited this place, I’ve never seen an attendant on duty there. Sad when something happens to the machine and you can’t get any help. There are suppose to be slips to let them know that somethings wrong, but I didn’t find any when the dry ate my money and did nothing.
2. I found them to be a bit too expensive for my taste and they don’t tell you how many loads any of their machines can take so you can judge if it’s worth the price.
3. The dryers have only three settings: high, low, and perm press. For anyone who has to do laundry on a medium setting, I think you’re kind a screwed. I spent a while on the perm press setting, thinking that is the equivalent to medium setting, and eventually had to settle with slightly damp clothes.
Prices are:
regular machine: $ 1.75 to $ 2.50
medium: 3:50
large: $ 5.00
ex-​large:$ 6.00
dryer: $ 0.25 for 7 minutes
In the goal of having to save time and money, I was disappointed in only walking away with saving a little time.
