Willow Creek Laundromat

Since my washer broke (in the middle of a load, of course) and the replacement I ordered was delayed in delivery, I have used willow creek twice in as many weeks. The young (ish) man who works there is extremely polite, greeting people as they enter and leave. He offers assistance, walks around tidying up, and has change for $ 20s if you need it. The machines and floors are clean and the trash cans are plentiful and usually empty. I don’t have much experience with laundromats in the last 20 years (it was much cheaper back when I was a young apartment dweller) but I guess this is the going rate for washing and drying… $ 4.50 to $ 6.50 to wash, depending on size, and 25 cents for 5 minutes in the dryer– which took half the time of my home dryer. Free wifi, carts are in good shape, and there is a grocery store in the same shopping center if you forgot anything. I would recommend this place.

My daughter is a student at UNC and needed her sofa slipcovers laundered. We went to Willow Creek Laundromat and had them wash them. Their Fluff and Fold service was wonderful. The staff was attentive and really amazed us by how clean they got her slipcovers. We were also happy about the price. I got to enjoy a day with my daughter instead of hanging out at the laundromat. We will be back.

My washer broke in a middle of the cycle leaving soaking wet clothes enveloped in soapy suds. i scrounged up $ 5 of quarters from my daughter’s piggy bank and headed over after reading the Unilocal review.
First of all $ 5 doesn’t buy you much. One wash is $ 4.50 so I had to get more change to cover the 3 washes. Not to sound old (er) but when i was in college wash and dry were $ 1 each. I really feel for people who have to rely on a laundromat for clean clothes except for college kids as that is part of the experience.
The place was clean enough but I couldn’t get a cell phone signal in there so I couldn’t check my messages or make calls. That would be a deal breaker for me if I were to go here regularly. They do have Wifi but you have to ask for the password.
There are restroom and chairs though I imagine prime time it would be hard to find a seat and a washer dryer. I went on a Saturday afternoon and had a hard time finding a dryer. The dryers are $.25 for 5 minutes so that is pretty reasonable and I could dry my clothes in 20 minutes so can’t complain there. The appliances are in good shape and are fast. I do wonder why in this day and age they can’t process credit cards or cash in the machines.
Would go back but I hope I don’t have to.

I came here on a Wednesday afternoon, around 3 pm. I don’t know how busy this place is on a regular basis, but there are a fairly large number of washers and dryers. I had no problem accessing a dryer upon my off-​hour arrival.
Service is friendly. It’s .25 per 5 minutes for the small/​medium sized dryer and they have change machines in the back. There are tables and chairs where you can sit, the only thing I would have preferred were more power outlets for my computer. Otherwise it’s pretty much what I expected of a laundromat.
