Maytag Laundromat

Pervy Asian guy who runs the place stole some of my wife’s underwear. People are incapable of leaving your clothes alone. Tried to go next door for a bite to eat but apparently you need to stand guard at your washer and dryer. Very definitely would not recommend. My wife feels pretty violated.

only in the last year have i had to re learn what not having a washer machine is like, at first i was doing my laundry and wasting time in the laundromat in addition to putting it off because i didn’t want to be stuck there– but then due to a lack of time i ended up trying out this place for drop off because i knew a lot of my friends used it back when i lived in point breeze, so so so worth it, every week i drop it off it costs 10 – 12 bucks and it comes back smelling so good and perfectly folded. the owners are really cool too, also i can always find a parking spot so pick up and drop off takes a minute and i can move on

I recently had to drop off my down blanket to be washed after my kid spilled his milk all over it. They did a wonderful job. It was done in the same day and when I took out the blanket it was still fluffy and smelled so refreshingly clean. Thanks for a wonderful job Maytag!

Yep this is where I do my laundry every Sunday :) great place, clean machines and everything works :)

amazing!

This laundromat is great! Like most Philadelphians without a washer or dryer, I never look forward to spending hours in a laundromat. But, Maytag is great! Cheap and great service. Maytag is also located around a few other businesses to hang out while you do your laundry — sardine bar, café ynez, sidecar.
I find it more timesaving however to get your laundry done for you. I always have a lot and the owners are always super friendly and help me with my super heavy basket. They even take off a pound or two to compensate for the basket weight. For only $ 0.79 a lb, it’s only about 10 more dollars if I were to spend hours in the laundromat doing it myself.
Bonus: I’ve never had my clothes folded as nicely as Maytag does

Everything I need except better TV and the ability to pay with a credit card. The fees are low enough that I don’t mind paying the $ 1.50 at fee when I have no cash. Sometimes I do my own laundry, but usually I use the drop off service. The drop off service is great. They fold clothes very neatly and the Fresh smell lasts for weeks!

Great place for drop off/​pick up service. My dryer broke so I had to use them and was very pleased. .79 cents/​pound is the pricing as of Dec 2013. Cash only but they do have an ATM there. 24 hour turn around. Couldn’t be more convenient. Well it could, if you use this place (they pick it up, wash it, bring it back) but major drawback of no weekend pickup/​drop off:

Until Unilocal pointed me here, I had no idea that you could pay people to do your laundry for you. My life is much, much better now. Their drop-​off wash and fold service is a godsend, cheap ($ 20-​$ 30 for about 2 weeks worth for me), and quick — I’ve always been able to pick it up the next day. Anything needing special attention, I wash myself, in the plentiful machines. $ 2.00, quarters. Also not bad, since most places I go are $ 2.25 or more.

With a trunk full of soiled linens from the recent Unilocaler Party, I searched Unilocal to find a place to get them cleaned. Maytag came up with great reviews and weekend hours. Plus, it’s in my neighborhood, so extremely convenient.
I swung by on Saturday with two huge trash bags filled with linens, and the woman who worked there weighed them and gave me a receipt, saying I could pick them up later. Same day service! I ended up getting them the next day, but for more than forty pounds of linens, my charge was less than $ 35. Crazy! After the sheets were folded up, they all fit neatly into just one of the bags. It’s cash only, but such a deal. Strongly recommended.

You really can’t beat this place. Don’t be turned off by the unassuming exterior. Every once in awhile when I’m having a busy week and just don’t have the time to do laundry at home, I’ll drop off a laundry basket here.
So they’ll seperate, wash, and fold… with same day service. SOLD. Also, I believe the pricing (70 c/​lb) is comparably cheap to other places in the city.
Just a note, it’s cash only.

After I graduated college, I never thought I’d have to schlep clothes to and from a laundromat again… until I moved into the city. 1 Bedroom flat on Christian Street without a washer/​dryer? No big, I’m pretty resourceful, I’ll just hand wash my clothes in my bathtub, hang them, and wait 2 WEEKS FOR THEM TO DRY. I literally used a blow dryer on my work clothes 5 days later, and the jeans still don’t bend the same.
Needless to say, I bagged the brilliant hand washing idea, and have been going to Maytag for almost a year now. If you’re dropping off, prepare to drop some dough as well. It’s honestly pretty reasonable, but when a roll of quarters is your only end of the month allowance, desperate times call for desperate measures. so most of the time I opt for the DIY route. They have single, double, and triple load washers which is pretty cool, because who doesn’t like options?! This is America, after all. And the washers actually dry the clothes (which is more than I can say about that of my college days).
Oh, bring your headphones. Daytime TV pollutes the space. Back-​to-​back Judge Judy and Dr. Oz episodes = my personal inferno.

Staff is very friendly and accommodating. I was running late and had to do some last-​minute laundry after work the other night, and even though I arrived after the «last wash» time the attendant cut me a break because I had just enough time to get out of there by close.
There are always plenty of washing machines available in three different sizes and the prices are solid. I’ve only used their wash and fold service once, but it was likewise affordable and prompt.
Doing laundry sucks, but this place makes it a lot less of a chore.

Been going to this place since I moved in July and decided it was finally time to give these guys the accolades they deserve.
I may be a bit biased because I literally live around the corner and down a block, and this is the first time I’ve ever utilized drop-​off wash-​and-​fold service, but even if I lived a bit further away, I’d most likely come here specifically.
The price is great at 79 cents a pound, and the level of service is fantastic. I’ve never had an issue with the job they do and it’s always fantastic.
But really what keeps me loyal to these guys is that it’s a true family-​run business and they couldn’t be nicer and more respectful. If you bring your stuff in early, they can turn it around by the end of the day and they always have a smile on their face.
Not sure about their self-​service machines and what not — as I said, I hate doing laundry — but whenever I come in to pick stuff up on the weekends, it’s usually moderately busy, so I assume the machines are top notch.
Definitely recommend!

I’m a big fan of Maytag Laundromat’s wash and fold service. I’ve made a habit of using their services because a) I’m busy, b) I’m lazy, or c) I think I’m busy, but I’m in fact lazy. Regardless, it works out well for me. I do next day pickup, and haven’t had any problems so far.
I can’t attest to the quality/​speed of their washers/​dryers as I haven’t physically done laundry here.
Penny Pinching TIps: This place is cash only, but does have one of those sketchy grey ATMs with a $ 3 surcharge… so bring some cash. Also, they charge by the pound so have a light laundry bag instead of a basket. Finally, if you really want to save some money on laundry, DO IT YOURSELF!

Last week was the week of the Unilocal Fail (cf. my review of Avila Shoe Repair).
For the bargain price of $ 14.22 ($ 0.79/lb), Maytag washed two sets of sheets and a load of darks. The pile was so small when I came to pick it up that evening that I jokingly asked the manager/​owner (Jimmy) if it was all really there. He replied that the laundress just folds it really tightly.
I took it home, and when I went to put it away I noticed that, even though it was folded neatly, the clothes were wrinkled like they’d been left in a crumpled pile for a while and then folded. Not a huge deal, I just HATE ironing, so I always make sure to fold my clothes promptly when the dryer stops.
And then I realized that all of my clothes were not, in fact, in my basket. I am missing
(1) a brand new pair of black leggings ($ 20)
(2) an old pair of distressed dark wash jeans ($ 40?) and
(3) my favorite (red, off-​the-​shoulder) sweatshirt ($ 40+).
So, for the bargain price of $ 14.22, Maytag lost about $ 100 worth of my clothes.
I called and spoke to Jimmy, and he took the list and description of my missing articles of clothing and said that he’d look into it and call me back by noon the next day. This was 5 days ago, and I expect that I won’t hear from him because my clothes are just gone. Washed and folded into someone else’s laundry basket, picked up, and taken away without a trace.
I feel like I shouldn’t have to make an itemized list of my laundry before dropping it off, and I shouldn’t have to go through it piece by piece before I leave to make sure that I actually get it all back. I’m really disappointed. Pissed. The heavy scent of fabric softener makes me want to punch an orphan.
If, by chance, you magically received some new clothes that match the above descriptions with your wash and fold from Maytag, please let me know. I would really like my clothes back, especially the sweatshirt.

This place is good for dropoff services if you give them clothes, which is currently 79 cents per pound.
Blankets however, are $ 15 a pop, regardless of weight. Granted they do a good job and can even give it to you same day, but still.

Wash and Fold and Separate? Not even my mom washes clothes this well! Recently I have just been crazy busy. A friend has always been on me to just send out my laundry, but I’m a control freak. Well you can have your cake and eat it to if you are crazy like me. You can bring your own detergent and fabric softener. Which is a huge plus for me because I’m a tide free kinda gal. Then they magically will have your laundry done within a day. I was a day late, but there was my ikea bag safely babysat an extra day. With my washing products nestled safely in the bag. Sheets were in one pile, towels with towels, it was so beautifully folded and organized I sort of wept a little… or maybe that was me shvitzing? (the place is a bit warm… dryers ya know)
I dig this place. It would be even better if they picked up and delivered, but the turn around is so quick I really cannot complain.

Thank you, Unilocal Friends! Yet again you have come through.
I tried this service for the first time last weekend. I dropped off a 12 pound load of dirty clothes and was pleasantly impressed when I came to pick up the clothes the following day. All were neatly folded and smelled absolutely delectable. Price is very reasonable at 69 cents per pound. I may have to make a weekly sojourn here, it was so good!
A couple of things to note: good parking in front of the laundromat or on a side street. I don’t believe they take any form of payment except cash, so be prepared!
