Parmer Laundromat

Went there tonight to wash clothes and looked for a sign which stated last load was at 10pm. I was there at 9:50. Whoever was there to run the place basically told me to leave as it was too late, I shared with him that I only came in as the sign said 10pm was for the last load but he was not very accommodating to what his sign said. I won’t be back! Very disappointed in their service!

Very clean, helpful staff. I went at night so it was quiet and the staff were cleaning up… good attention to detail, wiping down the machines and scrubbing the chutes for the detergent on the larger machines. Free wifi too!

Operational machines, clean facilities, and the occasionally crying child, oh my! Every two weeks I make the trek to the laundry mat to clean the «whites». No hot water in my apartment complex but that’s a «whole nother Oprah». Machines are operational and reasonably priced. I prefer the «three loaders» for $ 3.25 and the .25 cents for six minute dryers. There is typically a staff member there and if you need dryer sheets, etc. you can purchase at a very high mark-​up. Hey you pay for convenience. The staff keep the place clean. Even during the busy time, noonish until 4pm, you can typically get the machines you need. The crowd is pretty courteous considering having so many different peeps in one place. You hear the occasionally shrieking baby or kid or some parent «yelling» at one but not too often. Only once did I «catch attitude» from a fellow «mater» for getting too much in their «zone». I figure at a laundry mat you’re going to be exposed to it and bump elbows once in a while. Parking can be «tight» but I have always been able to find a spot. Seems pretty safe. I see the occasional cruiser in the area. Definitely a return patron!

It was great to have a place that could do my laundry for me on an extended business trip. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Like others I was very happy with how well my laundry was folded and packaged for pick-​up. If I had one tiny complaint it would be that they use a scented detergent and my clothes smelled a bit pretty. Not so grand for a 40-​something guy. Perhaps offer unscented or even hypoallergenic for an additional charge. Turn-​around was just a few hours when I came in. Super amazed!

Pretty solid service. 11am on a Saturday, I dropped off 65 pounds of laundry (kids were at camp for a week). $ 75 and 6 hours later, I have a bunch of folded clean laundry. Given the late start on Saturday, not bad at all.

Needed a place where I can do a quick load of laundry. There is a drop and pick up service but you need to drop off early in order to pick up the same day before 3 p.m. I missed that so it was easier for me to just drop in and do the load of laundry myself.
The double loader machine is $ 2.00 per load and does not accept singles — so bring quarters. The dryers cost $ 0.25 per 6 minutes– quarters required. There is a change machine but my money got stuck in it. The woman who works for the Laundromat was nice enough to return the money to me and had me fill out a form.
There’s a tv that can keep you «occupied» while you’re waiting for your laundry to be done.

Going to laundromats is painful enough, these guys make it way less painful. The washers are super fast, about 25 minutes per load. Same for the dryers. Always clean and the staff are friendly.

My first laundromat when moving to Austin. I have a laundromat phobia and Parmer Laundromat broke that. Very clean and friendly staff. My roommate ended up getting a job here for a little while. Great ownership, friendly, and affordable. I now live further away and still make the extra trek to come here. Also has trustworthy drop off service.

I have to give this laundromat 5 stars. It’s the best one I’ve ever used anywhere. This is the second time I’ve been here. The place is very clean and you don’t see all the broken washers and dryers like you do at most laundromats. Both times the staff was friendly and helpful. Very low key place. Oh, and they have free wifi!

Washatopia was closed in Observance of Easter, so I came here. The washers were great, but I had issues with one of the dryers — the dryer I was using was ridiculously loud. Not only that, but as my clothes were drying, they were sticking and hanging, as if there was something sticking out from inside the dryer (a piece of metal? nail? who knows). I showed the elderly Asian man and he just kept staring at it. After $ 5.00 worth of drying (for 4 loads on 1 machine) I noticed several of my clothes had snags and lines on ‘em. Showed the Asian man again and he said it was a pen mark and when I showed him the snags, he said something was stuck… yeah, remember I showed you what was happening? He checked the inside of the dryer and apologized. I stayed an additional 15 minutes to fold my clothes and he never put an «Out of order» sign on the defective dryer. My clothes are now ruined, I’m very, very disappointed in this place. One thing’s for sure, this is the first and last time I come here. It’s close to my house but I’d much rather make the drive to Anderson Mill. This place isn’t even deserving of a 1 star.

As far as laundromats go, this one is pretty awesome. The staff is very friendly and the facility is clean and well lit. Plus, you can do some internet work while you’re there! Free wifi.

Best laundromat in the area. Clean, nice people. A little pricey, but the machines are almost all Speed Queens.

Good price, subpar cleanliness and customer service
I didn’t go back. I rented a washer/​dryer instead. I hadn’t been here before so didn’t know where things were. I asked the attendant, and she looked at me like I was an idiot. I know when my stupid question impedes your day, but if you’re being paid, at least fake it.
This has nothing to do with the establishment per se, but many of the other customers stared at me quite frequently. I know there’s not a ton to do when you’re washing clothes, but blank stares are not necessary. I’d actually have felt unsafe if I were a woman, alone at night. Instead, I’m a dude who went on a Saturday afternoon, so I just stared back while it got weirder and weirder.
There are nicer places not much farther away if you need to wash your clothes.

This was my first laundromat experience, and I like this place.
I really enjoy doing laundry (I’m sure it’s a medical condition of some sort), so since I can’t do it at home, I definitely want a nice place.
I chose this place based on the reviews here, and admittedly the wasn’t as nice looking as I expected. It’s most certainly clean and the machine was cleaned constantly, but it’s cramped. There’s not a lot of room for a big crowd, but I go early morning on weekend to steer clear of crowds and kids.
Outside of a slight issue with space, this place is impressive. The different sizes of front-​loading washers allow you to do several loads in one machine (reduces the cost to you in both time and money). I get all my laundry done in an hour (23 min for the washer, 18 — 20 for the dryer, and up to 20 to fold). They even have WiFi (which I haven’t used yet).
The staff are very helpful and friendly.
Cons:
Kind of cramped, but something I forgot after the first time there
Coinless laundry would be nicer than change machines
Pros:
Lots of machines to choose from (their six load washer is amazing at $ 6.5 per load)
Massive dryer that allows you to move those six loads into one machine
Friendly staff
They sell everything you need there in case you forget anything
I know there’s a coinless laundry place near this location, but I don’t see myself switching. I definitely suggest using this place!

DO NOT DO DROP OFF HERE
It makes me sad to have to write this I used to love coming to this place to drop off my laundry. There use to be this very nice lady (Debbie I think) that worked here and it was always a pleasure to see her. Very friendly and I wouldn’t have to worry about my clothes being done right.
However, lately there has been been this new lady (Patrica) that is just awful. She’ll bark at you to make you put your clothes on the scale so she doesn’t have to pick them up (not a big a deal if you need help but don’t make me feel like a jerk when I’m paying you to take care of my clothes).
I have had my clothes come back when she has done them that look like they were crumpled up in ball. Last week when I got home I realized all of my clothes were still damp. This past time takes the cake, when dropping off she exclaimed in loud voice «I just love when you write down your directions on how to wash your clothes». I almost told my boyfriend just to put all the clothes back in the basket; I wish I did.
When we came back to pick up our clothes not only did she not do what we asked and pay for but she lost our laundry basket. Now by all means I have no special attachment to my laundry basket, but it goes to show how little respect this lady has for others people’s belongings. The poor new girl there that gave us our clothes said she would have Patrica or her manager contact us later that day. Three days later I have heard nothing.
I will never be back to this place, I would drive completely out of my way and past other laundromats just to come here. It is just sad they have poor employees representing this place.

I was there today washing a blanket and I saw a staff member, a blonde woman, doing laundry for a customer, I guess you can drop it off and they do a wash and fold service. It was a load of whites. She was eating what appeared to be chicken, she walked over to her pile she was folding, threw the bone away, kind of wiped her hands on her pants, and started folding clothes! I was so disgusted that this is how anyone would fold clothes, much less when someone paid to get their clothes washed and folded! She was folding undergarments, towels, and pillow cases with dirty hands! Not only dirty but with chicken on her hands! I feel really bad for that customer.
Aside from that the place was not super clean but they do have a variety of sizes and I used the largest for my huge blanket. Also, I was carrying my baby so I used the rolling cart to take my blanket to the car and the parking lot is like on a downhill. It was hard to keep my cart from rolling down while I was putting my baby in the car. Don’t be holding a ton of things on your way out or that cart will do some damage to a car in the parking lot.

Ah, the most recent reviewer has said it all!
The woman who manages the Laundromat is a total doll! She is VERY friendly and has that «mama hen» sort of feel to her, and makes sure the two gentlemen working with her always open doors for the customers.
All of the staff were very polite, had English as a first language, and were very knowledgeable about how to wash tricky things like delicates, comforters, and so forth (which is GREAT for me, because I am a domestic disaster).
I also forgot $ 7 worth of quarters there, and they are keeping it safe for me until the end of the week when I have a chance to pick it up – YAY!
Also, tons of laundry supplies! Its always cheaper of course to bring your own, but when you are a derp like me and forget obvious things like that, well… its every handy.
I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it IS a little bit cramped, and needs more places to sit… but hey, its a laundromat! Over all, I was so pleased by the newness and cleanliness of the machines, as well as the homey, warm service from the staff.
Thank you Parmer Laundromat! :)

I LOVE this place. I have a Cali King comforter and a (washable) feather mattress topper. I was afraid I was going to have to spend a fortune at the cleaners, but I found this place last year. Clean, very helpful service, safe, well lit.
I’m going back today as a matter of fact. I would drive across town if I had to. This place is great!

Our satanic Chihuahua decided to barf all over our bedspread, so I had to find a laundromat with large capacity machines in order to wash the funk out. My other requirement was that they had to have Wi-​Fi.
Thank you, Parmer Laundromat, for giving me a clean bedspread and allowing me to surf to my heart’s content.

I had no idea that laundromats like this existed. Mind you, the only other laundromat that I’ve really used was on S. Congress near Oltorf where a homeless man once wandered in with a pizza box he had dug out of the trash as his secret hiding place for shirts he stole out of dryers.
The woman working at Parmer Laundromat held open the door for customers, suggested which machines would best suit the size of their loads, and actually seemed to enjoy her job, which I find is a rarity in any industry. This place has wi-​fi, free coffee, vending machines, a large selection of laundry supplies in case you forgot something, shiny, new commercial washers and dryers, and two large flat-​screen TVs! It’s like the all-​inclusive resort of laundromats. It’s a pain in the ass when your washer or dryer breaks, but finding little gems like this makes it that much easier to deal with.
