Blue Kangaroo Coin Laundry

I have been to every laundry mat in Pilsen and this is the BEST. I’m very picky when it comes to where a wash my cloths especially since I always had my own washer and dryer but I just moved into a place that does not have one. This place is open until midnight which is perfect for my late schedule. It’s very clean, all machines work, free parking lot and free WiFi. Only thing is when I walked in the attendant told me 90 min wasn’t enough time to wash my 2 loads, knowing it was I still did and she let me. I was out in hour. They have tons of machines for all size loads and 25 cent dryers. Vending machines and tvs. I love this place, I’ll come back to this place every time until I get my own washer and dryer. lol

This place has 10 machines that have been out of service for 2 months. They do not have change at all. The employees are clueless.

I used this place to drop off my laundry. I had three weeks worth of laundry and they did it all! It’s .90 a pound and totally worth it. Impeccable folding and my clothes smelled great.
May not be a good option if you have skin allergies. I do not. The turn around time was less than 24 hours, but they let me keep it there till the next day. One word of caution… They charge 5 $ for a bedding sheet. Soooo… I won’t have them washing my sheets, but everything else– great! They only take cash– which is fine. The nearest ATM is a block and a half away. Clean, friendly, and no spanish speaking skills required.

Even after moving out of this area I still go back here to wash clothes. Why? They’ve got everything I need to get through the multi-​hour task.
Ample parking, across the street from a nice park with Popsicle vendors and stuff.
They’ve got soda and snack vending machines. Nothing healthy but hey, it’s nice to always have the option…
Plenty of ways to spend those quarters. You can play Ms. Pacman or Galaga, you can buy laundry bags from vending machine, up until recently they even had PC computers you could pay you use and get online but those are gone now. There is free WIFI and sometimes guys walk through selling CDs, socks, or candy for cheap. So lots to keep you asking «where the hell am I??»
One of the mild drawbacks is there are very often a lot of kids running around unsupervised and if you’re like me (kind of goofy), that can be nerve-​racking. Kids settle down please, this is serious business adult space.
There is a nice bathroom so that’s good. But sometimes they’re out of paper which I’m not a fan of.
They sell laundry supplies at slightly marked up prices (walk 2 blocks east and the Family Dollar has everything much cheaper), which you can’t really blame them for doing.
They have coffee on Sunday mornings which almost makes up for the crazy number of families there. But don’t have high expectations here, drip coffee and pretty sure it’s Folgers.
The staff do their job well and that includes not speaking English. I don’t mind, don’t ever really need to speak to them (with words at least, they just give me change or unlock the bathroom door), but it’s worth noting that in 5 years I don’t think I’ve ever heard a staff member speak English here. Just sayin.
They open early and stay open late but not 24 hours (in a row).
Different type of machines like the $ 7 super washer. I can fit about 3 weeks worth of clothes from me and my wife (no small task, about 3 – 4 loads in normal washer.
Finally, a word of advise. When you first walk in, try to find a cart and place to sit, and park yourself there. If it’s sort of packed the sooner you find your place to process your clothes the sooner others in the laundry world will start to see you as higher up on the social pecking order — which is ultimately the goal of any laundry session — to be king of the world for a couple hours…
So I’ll be back next weekend. I’m a fan.

I am a fan of the Blue Kangaroo laundromat. I come here every week and haven’t had any huge problems yet. One dryer machine wasn’t counting the money I was putting in and all I had to do was simply tell an employee and they gave me my money back and promptly put an «out of order» sign up on the machine. They are always sweeping up the floors and making sure everything is clean. The best part about this place is the free parking lot. This is a predominantly Spanish speaking area, so I wasn’t surprised of the slight language barrier. It’s not a problem though because the employees do their best to help you with whatever you need. They have large load washing machines and smaller sized ones too. I usually use the large washing machine for a weeks worth of laundry for three people and it takes 19 quarters. The dryer takes about 3 – 4 depending on what heat setting you use.

Saw the horrible reviews. I don’t think they were fair. I don’t speak Spanish, but I know how to communicate with someone if there is a language barrier. It’s clean here. They have a chuck e. Cheese coin thing here that gives out free wash tokens. Lots of free parking. Open till midnight. It’s not like we’re in Pilsen or anything (Mexico)…Learn the language or leave foo!

Granted the place is really clean but dam… I’m surprised this chick still works here. She acts like she don’t speak any english. It’s empty as hell and she decides to «mop» the aisle I’m in by soaking up the the whole isle with water. What? Am I suppose to wait for it to dry before I put my softener in? And who in the hell taught her how to wipe dow the top loader washing machines? She literally pours water over the whole dam thing and lets it air dry. This chick is a liability. She’s asking for a slip and slide lawsuit.
All in all, the place is clean but the customer service SUCKS!!!

I just moved somewhere that has no in-​unit washer/​dryer. SO, I had to check out the places where I could wash my clothes nearby. I came here first, because Unilocal only showed me two of the three places near me. The other one was way far from me. Anyways, it’s clean and if you get your change from their machines, there’s a chance you win a coin for a free was in any machine. They also have a game or two and lots of vending machines for anything you could possibly need. It’s not bad, but there’s nothing to do if you aren’t into the Spanish soaps or pigging out on expensive vending snacks (as vending machines always overprice). The dryers are excellent though, and if you’re a risk taker with leaving your clothes behind, there’s some grocery stores around if it’s early.
I haven’t gone back though, because that third laundromat Unilocal didn’t talk about (until now) is closer, cheaper and has a cheap little coffee and hot chocolate dispenser and timers on the double loaders =/​
Sorry Blue Kangaroo.
