Lakeside Laundromat

They did an amazing job with my blankets! It was only $ 14 per comforter (regular comforters– king size). They folded them and put them into individual comforter bags and they were able to get every stain out. When I arrived, they came out with a cart and helped me carry everything in. This was the fastest, most effective drop-​off service I have ever used and I will definitely be back.

This is the worst laundromat I have ever been to! Their prices are Ridiculously higher than other laundromats in the area within a 15 minute drive. The staff speak little to NO English and the people in the laundromat are rude, nasty and so territorial you would think that they own the washing machines and dryers that they were using. Also someone stole my clothes out of my washing machine right as it stopped when I went to get more quarters for the dryer and when I ran to the service window and started complaining about it, miraculously my clothes appeared in the machine again! This place is filled with all types of uncivilized people!
In addition, I was yelled at and cussed out by an irate customer whom I had never met, never spoken to and never seen before simply because I was using five washers all in one row at the same time. Not to mention, the staff did an attitude, one two switch when they realized I was going to wash my own clothes and Not use their wash & fold laundry service, which I noted was very unsanitary. The staff doing the wash & fold service used the same carts that the dirty clothes were hauled in with, to put clean clothes in and even dropped clean clothes on the floor and did not rewash them and even folded the clothes without gloves on!
And oh how awful the parking lot is! It is so small and crowded you have to hope that your car door doesn’t get all dinged and smashed up while you are washing your clothes! I will never ever go to this laundromat ever again and for anyone Else’s sake or safety I wouldn’t suggest that they do either.

Man, this place is awesome!!! I NEVER been to a LAUNDROMAT! lol This place has soooo many types of WASHERS & DRYERS! I came down here to wash my king sized comforters because I just bought a new bed. I upgraded from a Queen to King. My baby did a blowout on my covers so I had to wash them ASAP! The staff inside the wash was super friendly and helpful! I will return once a month to wash my covers there! AWESOME PLACE!!!

I am a very frugal person. I do recognize however that my time holds quite a lot of value. This was especially true right after the birth of my daughter. She arrived a little earlier than we had anticipated, and in the days (weeks?!) before she decided to make her appearance, the laundry had started to pile up. You can imagine that getting home from the hospital with a newborn and realizing that I hadn’t done the laundry in three weeks was not fun. (Thankfully, I had already washed her clothes with the requisite baby laundry detergent, so we were fine there). I did a quick google search to discover that Gaithersburg had a drop off laundry service. I assumed that it was probably ridiculously expensive. I’d never used a laundry service before, but it seemed extravagant. I was so pleasantly surprised to discover that it was very, very reasonably priced (I think $ 1/​lb). I pulled right up to the curb, and a nice man came out and put my 4 heavy trash bags of dirty laundry on the carts and rolled them in for me while I parked. When all was said and done, it was about a month’s worth of laundry, and I paid about $ 60. Totally 100% worth it. I went back two or three days later, and it was ready to go. In the 2 years since my daughter was born, I have used them on two other occasions when life has just gotten really busy. They wash, dry, fold, hang, pair socks, etc, etc. During the holidays when you just don’t have time, or after a vacation when laundry seems daunting, this is SO worth the money. They are friendly, efficient, very reasonably priced, and such a time saver.

*Pull up to the curb and stop. The employees inside are literally waiting for you. They’ll come out to your car. (The last woman that drove up never even got out of her car… what!?). Impressive.
*The ATM appears to be working. Bills are easily turned into quarters just inside on the right-​hand side (next to the first dryer). Coin machine takes $ 1s, $ 5s, and $ 10s.
*All staff seem to be friendly and are consistently smiling. That was a pleasant surprise to me.
*TVs are nice, large flat screens. One has a Spanish channel, one currently is set to the SyFy Channel. Volume levels are excellent! Couldn’t be better.
*Washing machines and dryers appear well maintained. Very easy to figure out and use. Very speedy.
*Detergent can be purchased, though I’m not sure of the prices. Considering the value of this place thus far, I’d be very surprised if the price were even moderately unreasonable.
*Vending machines on site — well maintained.
*Folding tables (x4) at the front of the store. One has almost been constantly used by employees to fold laundry for customers. The other three have remained open for at least the past 2 hours.
*Standard metal laundry push-​carts on site. One of the owners encouraged me to put my laundry in it as soon as I walked in the door. Very friendly.
*Free WiFi (look for the pw at the desk/​window after you walk in.
Really impressed. I’ll be coming back here for SURE.

My mom had to have some winter blankets washed and our washer/​dryer were too small. I found this laundromat after a Unilocal search and they really deserve their rating. As soon as we pulled up to the curbside, a woman (Rita) came out with a cart for the blankets and helped my mom to 3 washers. My mom told her it was her first visit and Rita took care of everything! She set up each washer and after the cycles were complete, she came by to help us with the dryers. She helped my mom fold the blankets and place them into cases ($ 2/​case), which my mom purchased for easy storing. It was so clean and the people who work there are very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back here in the future!

My Washing machine broken. Pulled up and a man walked up and started loading up a cart with my clothes. Same thing happened when I left. Great customer service!

This is for the laundry by the pound/​drop off service… Our washer broke just before the weekend and we couldn’t get anyone out to look at it until the following Monday.
My wife and I took 3 bags (the equivalent of 5 loads) to Lakeside Friday night and it was ready Tuesday evening. Everything was folded waaaay better than anyone in my house can do it and the pants and button down shirts were given to me on hangars… all for $ 38.
If I didn’t need laundry as an excuse to stay home and watch football on Sundays, I’d have a hard time not doing this every week!
