R & A Launderette

New owners! I have taken a dress to be dry cleaned and everything was great! I hope it stays this way! The owners also seem to be very nice, friendly people.

So far so good! The best deal in town, $ 25 to clean my queen size down comforter! And $ 20 for the twin size down comforter. Awesome!

They were good, until they started giving me other people’s clothes in the wash and fold.
First it was a pair of underwear. Then it was some towels. I never lost anything to my knowledge, but a little disturbing. And I swear they shrunk my laundred shirts.
If they were more friendly, I’d give them a break, but pretty no nonsense. Except for the nonsense.
Just go to Sunny on 20^th.

They do great work. Quick Wash & Fold for about $ 15 a laundry basket.

I have been going to Amy and her husband for 6 years now. I couldn’t be happier. I bring Amy my soileds, my torns, my poor buttonless and unhemmed; she does it all. By now, she remembers my laundry bag, jokes with me about my various costumes, and even remembers my dress shirts. In fact, today, someone commented that I looked really spiffy and professionally ironed; I responded, «that’s because I am.»
I am not going to lie. In the past 6 years, I’ve had a few broken buttons (but I work in an industry where I have to wear button-​ups everyday, so I’m going to chalk that up to randomness). Also, I have a drawer with 50-​bazillion types of black socks that don’t always get matched to my semi-​OCD standards. Nevertheless, the very occasional low-​grade annoying surprise is more than made-​up for by the pleasant surprises.
For example, I had this shirt that had a rip in it. The rip fell below the belt, so I didn’t worry about it. I figured that shirt was simply destined to be a work-​only shirt. One day, it came back sewn-​up, and Amy didn’t even charge me for it. I often find that missing buttons on the shirt for which I started rolling up the sleeves miraculously sprouted buttons when I picked them up.
The magic behind it all is R&A Launderette. They have the magic to ruin me for all time, because now that I have wash-​and-​fold, I’m never turning back.

I’ve been here many time for alterations and little fixes (like sewing blackout material on to curtains and reattaching zippers and such), and I have walked away happy every time. Amy is really friendly and she pays attention to what you want. That may sound like an exaggeration when you’re talking about shortening pants but, hey, every millimeter counts when you’re matching up with shoes. I’ve also never had a problem parking on that block and sometimes stop off at the bakery after I’m done there. All in all, it’s a great neighborhood spot that does really good work at a very reasonable price.

I’ve been meaning to review this wonderful shop for a long time. My partner and I have been going here for years and have found them to be of consistently great quality for washed and starched shirts and pants and the occasional dry cleaning or repair. What finally spurred me to write down my praise is a repair they did on my partner’s cashmere sweater vest (which he loves) which had developed a 1-​inch hole in the shoulder… after they had repaired it, I looked for the repair and couldn’t find it! Thank you R & A!

Terrible service I will never be back. Brought in my brand new 7 jeans for dry and when they got back they were shrunken and lost its original color. They said it’s like that when it came it and kept repeating it. Like how am I supposed to have proof? $ 100 dollar jeans down the drain.

I dropped my clothes off at noon on Thursday and they said that they would be ready in the afternoon the following day. When I walked in at 11:30 on Friday a woman asked for my ticket, which I had lost, but I could see another woman folding my clothes behind the counter. She said that it would be 5 more minutes.
I went out to sit in my car as I had parked in the no parking zone in front and was hoping to avoid a ticket. I was on the phone with a friend when all of a sudden there was a knock on the window. The woman was standing there with my laundry. She put it in my car for me and said $ 9. I’m sorry, what? Only $ 9 for a large bag of laundry and you are delivering it to my car? Awesome!
Luckily I had a $ 10 and some ones so I could leave a tip. I definitely recommend coming here for your wash and fold needs!

Amy and her husband run a simple, dependable, authentic neighborhood business. It’s one of the aspects of living in the city that makes it all worthwhile. When you feel connected to the people who run a business, it brings you that much closer to your own neighborhood and community.
Laundry and dry cleaning services well done and for a fair price. Amy does an amazing job with the tough stains, the garment comes back as good as new. Starch level: Perfect.
In all fairness, what launderette/​dry cleaners hasn’t lost or shrunk a shirt or two? They all do and it’s not the end of the world or even necessarily a «bad thing». If you walk along the beach, sooner or later you’ll get wet whether or not you want to. 8 years worth of shirts. An excellent ratio, but you do the maths.
And to top it all off, Amy has greeted me with all manner of chocolates when I come to pick up my shirts !
An excellent neighborhood business.

When life got hectic, to the point where I didn’t feel like I even had time to do my own laundry, I turned to this little place on the strength of it’s Unilocal reviews. It was an absolute Godsend to be able to drop my laundry off and pick it up the next day. Apparently, if you drop it off before 11am, you’ll even get it back THE SAME DAY. But I never made it in that early…
Anyways, it’s fast, relatively inexpensive, and there’s a really pleasant lady behind the counter. If you need to do wash and fold, I’d recommend it!

They fix pants pockets here too. I have a problem with too many keys in my pocket which creates a hole within the inner lining of my pocket. They patch it up like new. As always, Amy and her husband are always friendly.

This review is for alterations only — The «dressing room» is a tiny corner behind the clothes racks. You have to stand on an old cardboard box. I should have run the moment I saw it, but I didn’t.
I had three pairs of pants taken in along the hips and legs, which is a simple alteration. She did one pair right. The second pair wasn’t taken in enough so it doesn’t help much. The third pair was so badly done that the pants are ruined. I will never go back there again!

Very reliable, friendly, and reasonably priced. I take my shirts there every week and have all my alterations done there. Have been very happy with the service.

I’ve relied on Amy & her husband for 8 years to take care of my family’s wash & fold and dry cleaning needs. They are prompt, hard working, friendly, and good at what they do. Price for services is always fair.
If you’re looking for alterations, Amy did a wonderful job with altering my aunt’s wedding dress into exactly what I wanted: an updated, modern, beautiful dress for my big day.

Five stars for the local cleaners? This isn’t the «French Laundry» of launderettes, but it is an especially dependable cleaners in a convenient location with reasonable prices.
I’ve been relying on Amy for alterations, pressing, and wash and fold for 7 years and she gets it done right every time. There is usually some parking in front. A hard working couple that provides a fine service to the neighborhood.

I moved out of the ‘hood for about a year and now I’m back. I tried a fancy schmancy dry cleaner up on Nob Hill and they were expensive and not as good as R&A. Thankfully, she knows more about how to fix pants than I do, I told her to add a button to the wrong side of my waistband and she caught it. Solid alterations, a friendly, hard-​working owner and they get things back to me super quickly. As good as it gets in the drycleaning world as far as I’m concerned.

This place is awesome, awesome. They even repaired my laundry bag once. The alterations are eh, but I can’t bear to give them anything less than 5 stars because the wash and fold is just so good.

I used R & A for a few years before moving up to Noe Valley, where the prices were higher, and the service up there wasn’t as good. I recently moved back to Valencia, and it’s great to use R & A again! They are friendly, reliable, and everything is always clean, of course.
I’ve never had a problem with my laundry or dry cleaning, and they even hemmed some 95″ curtains of ours once. All perfectly done.

Honest, reliable, and reasonable place to bring you laundry. I’ve been coming here for years. The couple that run this place are always polite and you can tell they are extremely hard working.
