D & S Laundry

Accidentally left my credit card there this past weekend. They called and said they would hold onto it until I could get back. I picked it up on Monday. I checked my credit card statement and now have $ 4K worth of a shopping spree on it (zara, yves saint laurent, kroger, thai spice express, a couple others). All purchases were during the time they were holding it. Not really a big deal to me since I won’t be responsible for those charges, but I’m not going back to this business because of it.

One of the workers was very nice. He opened the door for my and helped me choose which machines to use. Decent traffic on a Thursday night. I think I’m going to come here more often.

For my first time ever using a commercial washateria, this mom and pop place seems to be a good one so far after coming for nearly a year now.
The owners are pretty friendly and will come up and talk to you, even though they are always busy cleaning or performing various tasks to keep this business running smoothly.
Prices are pretty reasonable and even though many of the machines are old, there are some newer electronic display ones too. I’ve never had a problem with any breaking on me, or taking my quarters.
They have 1 old TV mounted near the eastern wall of the wash area… and sometimes sports are playing on Sundays when I am typically there, so you don’t have to miss any of the action while you’re away from home.

D&S is a nice little Mom and Pop place. They treat you with friendliness and respect. Struggling to keep prices low for their customers, they try their best to keep things running. No problem if the machine acts up, they’ll fix it or switch to another machine. It is nice to deal with business owners instead of Big Corporate.
It is a good neighborhood spot and I’m glad they have been here all these years. I drive out of my way to come here.

I have used D&S for years for washing and folding. They do an excellent job in both. They have never lost anything. The folding is done beautifully and at a good price. I will continue to use them because they are so good.

This place is awful. I made the mistake of allowing my white comforter to touch the floor and I had to rewash. It’s deplorable and even worse, the attendant has the worst attitude of anyone I’ve encountered in the service industry in a long time. Boycott it and watch it close.

Decided to wash the duvet while doing some spring cleaning. It wouldn’t fit in the washer at home so I decided to try a laundromat near my house. This one has several different sized washers with many different options for washing your clothes. There are also tons of dryers. I was amazed that it wasn’t hotter in the place. But that may have been because I was there on a Tuesday afternoon and there were very few people using the machines.
There isn’t too much else to do so bring something with you to be entertained unless you want to spend all your extra quarters on the Ms. Pac Man machine and gum ball machines.

I had used this laundromat for years when my laundry got too unwieldy, but a successful career in real estate has recently meant I truly don’t even have the time to tackle the laundry myself. So, I was advised to try their wash and fold service, and I am thrilled with how well that went. The price seemed reasonable, my clothes were neatly hung and folded and were ready when promised just 24 hours later. They have a customer in me for life. They only have scented laundry detergent options, so I’ll be taking my own allergen-​free detergents in future.

I had to wash several comforters and blankets for my out of town guests. Drove by Graustark Laundry but it was packed so I came here instead.
On the plus side, the manager was friendly and helpful. It was also not that crowded.
Cons are it’s a pretty run-​down laundromat. The first washing machine I tried was broken and it ate my quarter. There was also a dryer where the door kept popping open and stopping. And the interior was a little on the dilapidated side. The ceiling had water stained tiles. The machines were old.
The manager was able to help me out with the mechanical issues and we got the job done in a timely manner. Overall, this place is A-​OK.

Even though I have a washer and dryer at home I decided to go here to get all of my laundry done at once… it piled up for a little too long. Unlike all of the other reviews I used the laundromat as opposed to the wash and fold service. I don’t recommend this. I’ve been to many a laundromat in my day and rest assured I will never go back to this one.

It was downhill from the second I walked in. I went to get quarters from the machine, it was broken. The woman working there gave me change… and short changed me 50 cents. I then spent $ 7 to wash two loads of clothes. At that point the standing puddles of dirty water throughout the store had turned into streams with filth and old crackers floating around the floor. Finally my clothes were done and when I took them out of the washers they smelled like B.O. and dirty water!!! WTH! What a waste of my $!!!

This review is dedicated only to the wash & fold service — have not used the laundromat side.
I have never used a wash & fold service, but with no time to even spend at a laundromat this weekend, I needed to try it out. I went ahead & called them first to get details and such. The man I spoke with was very nice and extremely helpful. He told me it would be $ 0.85/lb. to get my clothes back by the next day and an extra $ 0.20/lb. to get my clothes back within a few hours.
I gathered up my clothes and made my way over there. The man asked me if I was the person who called earlier and of course said that I was. As he knew that I was a new customer he offered me the overnight price of $ 0.85/lb. to have everything done in the 3-​hour service. He even gave me the total price before I left and made sure to inform me as well that they don’t take credit cards and only accept cash. I don’t normally carry cash so I really appreciated that he told me that before I left.
My special instructions included that my slacks needed to line dry which he took care of. I even forgot to bring hangers for him to hang my slacks on, but that wasn’t a problem as he had enough hangers to suffice. I found a couple small, faint white marks on my black slacks, but they seem to go away after being wiped down.
All in all, I’ll definitely use this service again.

I use their Wash & Fold service every week and absolutely love it. The price is incredibly reasonable — and they take the extra effort to separate special-​request items, like air drying delicates, hanging jackets, etc. Plus they don’t use super fragrance-​heavy detergent like other local laundromats — so clothes are fresh without being doused in perfume.
Like some of the other reviewers mentioned, the couple that runs the place is beyond fantastic. They know me by name and always ask how my week is going. I always leave the place happy. Thanks D&S!

This review is only for the wash and fold service; I’ve never used the laundromat… but DAMN they do a good job. I think the current rate (as of February 2010) is 89 cents a pound, which does add up if you have a large amount of clothes to drop off… but they will freshly launder, fold, and put shirts and slacks on hangers (if you have Dockers) and everything is ready for putting back in your dresser or closet when they are done.
I do not use this service for all of my laundry but if I get behind on laundry… or life is just crazy… this is where I go. It is a luxury but during crazy times it’s one less thing to worry about doing myself.

I’ve been using this laundry for a few months now. I enjoy going to Haut Wash, but with only a few spaces dedicated to the laundromat (the rest are taken up by Mockingbird Bistro valet) and large swaths of no parking zones, I decided to give this one a whirl.
I’m for the most part pleased with D & S Laundry (no relation). The machines are anything but new but are in reasonably working condition, and you can often see the old man half of the couple who runs this washateria tinkering with them. Really, it’s the incredibly nice couple that keep me coming back. If a quarter’s stuck or something’s not working, they don’t dicker or balk at giving you back your money or making it function. If the quarter machine is out of order, it’s quickly remedied, or you can ask behind the counter for change. They’re constantly cleaning the surfaces, keeping the floors mopped, or just generally making sure everybody’s happy.
I haven’t used the wash and fold service yet – mostly because I’m afraid I’ll get hooked. For now, you can find me waiting for my clothes to dry, mesmerized by the rotary motion…

(Please note, this review is mainly for the wash /​dry /​fold service, not as much on the actual washateria portion).
Time to give your washer and dryer a rest. D and S Laundry at 1613 Westheimer provides a remarkably efficient and customer-​service oriented approach to wash /​dry /​fold. If you have never used a wash /​dry /​fold service, give these folks a try at least once — and you’ll be hooked.
Reasonably priced and (depending on the size of the drop off) quite expedient, D and S Laundry will wash, dry, and fold your clothes so all you have to do is drop it off dirty and when you pick it up clean it is ready to go back into the dresser, chest, or armoire.
They will place clothes on hangars at your request (fill out the small slip completely, located at the drop off counter) and let them know if you have any special softener requests, etc. (or simply bring the bottle of your favorite scented softener d’jour) and you will enjoy the beauty of NOT having to do your laundry.
Be advised, at a mere $ 0.79 a pound as of 3÷18÷08 you may not realize how the cost can rack up — but rest assured, you will be thankful of not having to do this menial chore on your own anymore with this fabulous Houston area laundry service. The time saving economic cost is really what makes this trip worth it.
As to the washateria on site, I do not use it, but they have a very neat Ms. Pac Man gaming machine located below a wall mounted television. Catch the news and catch Blinky, Pinky or the other ghosts after you drop off your laundry.
