Drop A Load Laundry

Just moved to the area and I’m pretty sure this is my local laundry mat. Gave it a try tonight. Unilocalers seem to like it so. I showed up about 6pm on a Thursday and it was virtually empty as I had my pick of the washers far and wide.
It’s been awhile since I had to use a real laundry-​mat so I can’t say for sure what the pricing us like. I can say the detergent and laundry supplies for sale are a lil’ pricey, guess I should of gone to the store. It’s nice to have a food selection on hand tho and not just vending machine products like most places. Anyway… The smallest washer is $ 2, and the biggest is $ 4.75 but it’s HUGE. Even the small one is a nice size in my opinion, and I thank god I’ll never have to do as much laundry that fits in the big one. Dryer’s are $ 0.25 per 10 minutes which is pretty dope. Those are all one size by the way, which are big as I was able to fit 2 loads of clothes from the smallest washer in one dryer load. Ya digg?
I’ll be sure to be back and may even try the drop off service.
P.S…There’s a change machine and a vending machine here as well as a bathroom.

The heavy woman who works during the day is constantly on the phone gossiping (I understand Spanish too) and talking about customers right in front of them. She has been rude to me for as long as she has worked there. I even stopped coming here for years because of her: came back today because it’s so close to my apt. While putting my clothes in the dryer, 25 feet from her, she wants to know what I said to her — I wasn’t talking at all much less to her. I don’t know what her problem with me is, but I won’t be back.
ADDENDUM: When I returned for my clothes, the door was closed and time was up, but the clothes were still wet from the washer. I guess don’t piss off the big woman.

This is a nice, clean Laundromat with a fluff and fold service. But the customer service is horrible. One woman in particular who works there is so unfriendly I dread walking in. I use the drop off service and she acts like she’s mad I brought in the business. Its a very unpleasant experience.

If this is your first time here, please read the signs posted around the facility. I didn’t realize I had to select the cycle before putting money in so I pushed the stop button on one of machines and had my money taken. The lady here was super helpful and told me to not do it in the future but restarted the machine for me. Thank you for a great first time experience here! There’s also wifi! Best laundromat, super clean with wonderful staff!

I did the drop off and I’m sad to say I don’t think they actually washed my sheets. It doesn’t smell look or feel like it. Maybe pressed. Seems like they did wash the towels bc they’re stiff.

I love this place too much. Because sometimes you just have to Drop a Load (of laundry) and you don’t want to do it at home. Open 24 hrs in the lovely Sierra Madre neighborhood, kept clean and no wait times for washer or dryers. I have only stopped here to use the 3 in 1 industrial washers for sheets and linens. Cost is around $ 4.00 but handles a large load and keeps cottons super clean. Only slight knock is that laundry vending supplies are not always stocked, so make sure to pack detergent and dryer sheets before you get here. Best dropoff and coin laundry spot in the Pasadena area.

There are other laundromats out there, but none as clean as Dropaload. The free Wi-​Fi is a nice plus, WHEN it works. They are kind enough to post the password right on the wall, but tonight (¹⁰⁄₁₃) its refusing connections, claiming ‘bad password’! There is NOTHING else to prevent boredom while the clothes run, so bring ur kids, a good book, a laptop, and, oh yeah! a trustworthy DATA connection!

Very clean, compact place with a good amount of machines. Prices are average, about a .25 cent difference from places in L.A. No t. v though so if you want to watch your soaps or novellas too bad, I on the other hand am fully GRATEFUL not to have to endure crap t. v or music. This place offers a calm, quiet wash, in a clean spot. They have a parking lot, clean coin bathroom, and an attendant. Outside shaded patio oh and AIR-​CONDITIONING!!! Yeah for real, don’t know about you but my regular laundromat do not have AC. It’s not necessary but it’s NICE during this summer… I am here on a Monday morning so it’s probably a slow time for the place anyway. Good spot, I’ll remember it next time.

Clean facility, laundry did not stink after being washed, dryer has three temperature settings, free Wi-​fi, and plenty of parking. It is true staff could be a bit more courteous, but if I were washing other people’s laundry (even being paid for it) I would not be a happy camper either. That is a ton of folding!
The place is great for getting in and out of there as quickly as possible with clean laundry.

This place is VERY clean and nice. I would recommend going here for all your laundry needs. The fluff and fold service is amazing and I frequently use it.
However, the older hispanic lady who works here is EXTREMELY rude and I’ve never had a pleasant experience with her. I try to not do business here when she is here.

Excellent top notch service, they individually package up the clothes according to type when you drop your load off for laundry service. Will definitely be a return customer.

I’m updating my review to a lower score. After receiving a private message regarding my comment I’m sure I won’t be going back to this location. I don’t appreciate the actual employees contacting and contradicting my experience. This location seriously needs to screen more efficiently the employees they hire.

Handy, in a good area, no weirdos hanging around, feels relatively safe late at night (right around the corner from a busy bar and a block from the police station both help with that).
I wish the wifi worked at night. Would have made all the difference in being a convenient stop and being a pleasant one.

This is my go to spot when I need to wash my blankets. It’s open 24hrs which is great. It’s always clean because they have someone around until about 8pm keeping up the place. Machines are newer and function great.

Nice place to do laundry. Quiet areas to sit outside while you wait for your items to wash and dry. I’d prefer to do this at home but when your washer and dryer break down, this is a great alternative.
The laundromat is clean, comfortable, large folding tables, free wifi. However, the staff that work there are unfriendly. No one greets you and from my perspective, it is hard to tell who works there versus who is doing their laundry. When I asked the woman who works there a question regarding the large load machines, I felt like I was being yelled at. It is not often that I have to use a laundromat, so certain things are a bit foreign to me.
I would rate the laundromat an overall 5, but the service would get 0 stars. Would I do my laundry here again? Yes. It is convenient, clean, and in a safe neighborhood. I’m just hoping that I can get my washer and dryer repaired or purchased before I have to «drop another load».

I’m still grateful Drop-​A-​Load has big machines, wifi and is clean but…
…when you spend $ 100 for fluff and fold and the older hispanic woman doesn’t smile, doesn’t say thank you and lectures you about picking it up on time, it’s hard to be a fan. Other times, I’ve seen that same woman be rude to customers and tell me that if I stop the big machine while it was going I’ve lost my money (only to find out that indeed it will start again).
At least the younger woman who works there is still pretty cool!
— – Original Review — –
Lets be honest. Half the reason we go to the dry-​cleaners is because we don’t want to iron. Am I right? Yah, I’m right…
At least, that’s the case with shirts. Coats, suits and some pants can be justified. But shirts? Come on…
That’s why I love Drop-​A-​Load laundry. For about ¹⁄₃ the price of the dry-​cleaners, the good folks in their fluff and fold «department» someone how magically manage to get my dress shirts on a hanger without any wrinkles. God bless them.
Back to the dry cleaners. You know what’s really annoying? How about those damn hangers that start to pile up. Am I right? After awhile, you get like one billion of those cheap things.
Drop a load, I’m happy to say, will take some of those. Actually, so will some of the dry cleaners. Just ask. Seriously. Do you really need any more?

Life saver!
It’s open 24 hours and it’s clean, bright, and well maintained.
I’ve gone on a Saturday and during weekday evening hours and there’s always enough machines. It’s quiet as far as laundromats go, no screaming children running around. Cash machine, attendants on site depending on the hour, plenty of rolling carts.
Wash depending on size of washer is $ 1.75-$ 4.50 each and dryers are $ 0.25 per 10 minutes. Just got several rows of new top loaders and a row of x4sized front loaders.
They offer a drop off service (hence the name) that seems really reasonably priced as well. Prices posted.
Private lot parking. It’s tucked back behind Bank of America to the right, can miss it if you’re not looking for the driveway entrance.

Open 24 hours. Free Wi-​Fi. What more could you ask for a in a coin operated laundry?
FYI, the Wi-​Fi password is taped onto the fluff and fold service window.

This place is great for large items like blankets. They have they multiple large load machines so you don’t have to wait around. There is only one or two other customers every time I come here. The machines here are heavy duty so there isn’t any fear that you’ll break them. With heavy/​large loads my regular washing machine at home just can’t handle it.
The price isn’t too expensive, maybe a couple quarters more or than some other places I found in Los Angeles, but there is a nicer experience here. It feels cleaner and the machines are serviced regularly, the people are also friendly willing to answer any questions, such as if I should go with the double or tripple load machine. This laundromat is also in a good area, so I can leave my laundry here as it goes through it’s cycle and go run other errands without worrying that someone will steal my panties or something like that. :p
Bonus: FREE WIFI so you’ll be less bored waiting for your laundry.
