Jolly Clean Giant

Not too bad– I’m in a laundry-​less rental for a month– So I’m forced to explore the options of Encinitas. This place is better than others for sure. Pretty clean. Lots of machines.
Cons:
–When I came back to grab my clothes (possibly) homeless people were laying on all the benches/​folding tables with all their bags, shoeless– washing their sneakers/​sleeping bags, and napping. I mean I get it homeless people need to wash their stuff too– but still a little off-​putting.
–Someone stole my dryer sheets– My fault for leaving them for a few minutes
–Did 40 minutes of drying and my clothes were still damp

The gals that run the fluff-​n-​fold are FANTASTIC!!! Prices are a little higher than I’d like ($ 1.50/lb — I’m used to $ 0.90 per pound) but they have same day service if you drop off in the morning and open 7 days a week
Mon-​Thurs 1 – 4 9 – 11
Fri-​Sun 9 – 5

Went here today to do laundry, was folding clothes and the lady cleaning just told us to move out of the way so she could just sweep the floor under where I was standing. Rude. Can’t even wait for me to finish packing up to get out of the way. I don’t see why she would make us move out of the way and stop what we are doing while customers are still using the tables.

First time I have ever been to a laundry mat. I live in a town home, and our laundry was out of service. So I loaded up my car and my child to head out to this place. I was so thankful they were open Christmas eve. Nobody was in there and they have free wifi. I was able to do 6 loads of laundry in about 1hour and 45minutes for under $ 20. Pretty good I think. Nice atmosphere. Its a cute little plaza too… you can go have a drink next door at the bar or shop around petco. :)

This seems to be a nice somewhat quiet, in the morning, clean place to get one’s laundry duties done and it’s close.
It’s great that they provide wifi while you wait. There are TV’s there as well but they are never turned on when I’ve visited. My main complaint though is that the restroom is always ‘Out of Order’… Gggrrrr :-\
A lady came in this morning and had to use it before tending her laundry; I directed her to go next door.
OMGosh at least two of your neighbouring businesses will allow one to use their facilities.

Plenty of washers & dryers! Not busy on a Tuesday. People are friendly. Enjoyed my quick visit. Clothes are clean. Two thumbs up!

The thing I love about this place is that it’s next to Peabody’s. I would rate it higher than 3 stars if the coin changer machine wasn’t broken the last time I was there. They do have a million machines ranging from single load to up to 8 load washers. Clientelle seems above board. Go next door to Peabody’s for a cheap meal and strong booze.

Just did laundry there today. I had about a week and a half worth since my dryer broke down on me. I had $ 65 in cash -$ 10 for little ceaser’s pizza dinner. Came out with $ 17 left. WTH?!?
Took 4 hours to do 3 loads and I used the 7 load washer (which I love how they have HUGE ASS washers. Do they sell for home use?)!
Any who. Took about 25 – 30 mins to wash everything we had. Not to busy on a Tuesday.
Now here’s where all the money and time went.
DRYING! I’m not sure but I don’t think they clean out the lint vents very often. It took me 1 hour for 1 load not even stuffed and some clothes were still damp! Yes, I put that sucker on high!
After the 3^rd hr., Yes, THIRD HOUR. I figured that barely anyone uses the bottom dryers. IDK why, maybe cause no one wants to bend over, pull a back muscle or anything but what ever the case, the bottom dryers dry better! The clothes were fully dry and I didn’t have to keep feeding the damn machine unlike the top machines that took my soda money (I didn’t need the soda anyways)!
So to make my long review even longer…
Star for– the big ass washing machines, 7,4,3 and 1 loads available.
pleathera of dryers
clean laundry matt (I’ve seen worse)!
3 or 4 change machines
Poop for– Dryers! Take to long. You had 1 job Dryer! :(
Maintenance for my dryer will be coming in a week. Hope I’ll have some clean underwear by then or someone’s going commando! O_​O

They just remodeled it! Marta and the rest of the staff are super nice and hold the fort down. Not too busy. Lots of parking. You can have a beer and a burger at the bar next door while you wait. Free wifi too.

Our dryer broke 2 weeks ago; and during the perfect time of year. I thought something was wrong when the 1^st load took all day to dry. So the immediate decision was laundromat.
I like this place. It gets crowded fast, but the clothes get done fast. We just come here to dry clothes, but prefer to instead of getting a new dryer because it takes
only 45 minutes to dry a weeks worth of laundry and sheets and towels for a family of 4. I like that. 45 minutes, done.
The place is OK, and there are a lot of distractions close by, like a bar, fast food, and a Petco. and a barbershop. And the employees work constantly to keep the place picked up. I appreciate that. I would wipe down the counters before folding your clothes. I’m sure there clean, but its a habit.

It is never fun to do laundry but I don’t mind so much doing it here. They have lots of machines, so I have never had to wait. They keep the insides of the wahers nice and clean, which I’ve found to be an issue at other laundry mats. The location is great and now they now have wi-​fi.

This place is okay.
I go here to do my laundry because it’s right down the street from my apartment.
There are a lot of washers and dryers, which makes it easy to do a lot of laundry no matter when you come in.
Price-​wise, it’s a little high. $ 2 to wash a single load, $ 0.25 for 8 minutes in the dryer. Some dryers are better than others, so make a note of the ones that dry your stuff faster.
There are definitely some creepy people here. I’ve been hit on by creepy, sometimes aggressive dudes more times than I care to remember. That kind of comes with the territory of laundromats, though.
Cleanliness leaves something to be desired. I once found a condom wrapper on the counter next to a machine. I actually never fold my clothes on those counters because it just seems… unhygienic.
Jolly Clean Giant has been a useful friend, but I am glad to be moving to a place with on-​site laundry, that’s for sure.

As far as laundromats go, it’s a winner. It’s spacious, clean, and everything is in good working order, which already beats the crap out of that beat up old laundromat on Santa Fe. Last wash is pretty late. But the best part of the Jolly Clean Giant is that you’re right next door to the bar, so waiting for your clothes is finally something you can look forward to.
