Canaan Laundromat

$ 1.50 to wash. good price in my books
dryers are good also. the setup is a little weird but a nice laundromat in my books

New machines, good prices, and everything works! They have free WiFi, some coin-​op video games, and a wash and fold service. Best laundromat I’ve been to in town.

I brought my laundry here and had the owner wash it for me. Always clean, and nicely folded! Never had issues and the price for them to do the laundry was great! By the time I separate my laundry into all the different loads I would have almost paid the same price. Parking isn’t great, but the woman who did my laundry was very nice. I would recommend them for this service.

New Canaan is tough to review because it has a lot of dichotomies. Great prices vs. sketchy people coming in and out. Big machines vs. sketchy people trying to get in the bathroom. Nice owners vs. the guy trying to hide somewhere to do his fix.
I think you see the issue here.
Lots of machines, $ 1.50 for single loaders — there’s quite a few of them, about 5 quad load machines, a 5 load machine and one gigantic 6 load machine ($ 6.75). There’s plenty of folding space, a few video games, easy access to the pub next door and a convenience store and pizza right across the street.
The lighting is a little dim and dank, not a lot of light comes in because of how the laundry is situated. If they brightened it up, I think it would help a lot.
Back to my original comment — sometimes you go in here and sketchy, druggy type folks come in and out… but not all the time and not as often as a few years ago. When I go in the late mornings to do big comforters, etc, I never have problems. Late afternoons have been when I’ve seen the most «interesting» people come in.
So — if you need a laundry — this facility is better equipped and priced than many in the area (especially Lighthouse on Pearl — avoid that place)…just know you may find the occasional kook in there.

Love this place for washing and drying comforters. Reasonable prices as well!

If there was a zero star rating, this place would earn it – easily. Nothing at Canaan has been updated in 20 years. It looks the same — filthy, with ancient machines, a nasty dry cleaner area run by the people who own the business. The worst part: I didn’t know there were other laundromats in Tacoma, so I went here even though it’s awful. I was washing my big Isaac Mizrahi comforter (a $ 200 comforter) and one of the machines ripped it! Then the woman who owns the place with her husband said (and I quote) «It no my machine… my machine no tear. No one ever have problem with machine before. Must be your fabric with problem.» Oh wow. I’ll never go there again. At $ 15 to clean and tear my comforter, I’ll go to New Era and have a professional who stands behind their work clean it. If you value your things, DO NOT go to Canaan Cleaners. New Era is far better in every way.

I was taking my blankets for washing at a laundromat, and this place is around the corner. I walked in and pretty much walked back out, but not before I saw enough to know I will never go in there again. More than half the machines were out of order. There was a washer with exposed wiring, and a sign saying «don’t touch– it will shock you», and a broken window with another sign saying «don’t touch– it will cut you». The place was filthy too.
