63rd St Laundry

This place is ok. Washers start @2.75 which I consider a small load. But go up. The biggest is $ 8.75. I went in to do a bunch of comforters. Dryers were 8 minutes per quarter. That doesn’t fly by me.

They have 2 walls of dryers. Also a lot of washers. But, the supply of carts is outstripped by demand. It doesn’t help that people will steal your cart. And if a family is doing their monthly wash, you would be out of luck to find a washer and worse for a dryer. Not enough folding tables. People will steal the tables too. It wouldn’t surprise me if people steal clothes, take over your washer and dryer. This is the last place to wash your clothes.

So i was short 6.25 for the washer and I knew I could use the card so I stuck the card in the machine and just so happen to look at the account and it took out 20 so in walk up to the guy and I’m like this machine charge me 20 and I only had a balance of 6.25 he goes I know it processing but it should be back on the account by Monday so I’m like then you need to put a sign up and he goes I know I keep telling the boss that. So Monday I will be calling and speaking to the owner and I told him if my money not back in my account I want my money back and if I’m charged and over draft you all will be responsible for it typically this is a nice laundromat but this experience has taken me off guard.

Best laundromat ever! Everything is pristine, neat and clean. Machines accept credit cards which is very handy. And they sell any supplies you could need. Plenty of seating, carts and folding areas. And as an added bonus they have well stocked vending machines. Very happy.

There are credit card and coin but the majority are coin. This is true for washers and dryers. Mix of price ranges for washers in line with increasing capacitors. Dryers are 8 minutes per 25 cents. While the emphasis is not on seating there are nine seats up front and more in back despite what other reviewer states. Plenty of carts with bins and racks for hangars built in. They are good about keeping doors open front and back to get a breeze thru building but plenty of heat coming off dryers.

Customer service great. I don’t use laundromats often, but this gentleman helped with everything! Quarters YES… many but machine worked. Brought my own detergent that I needed sissors and again service with a smile. I hope the comforter comes clean.

It was hot in there. Some washers smelled. Have to use quarters. Did not like it. Only 6 seats in the place 4 tv only on worked.

My building only has 10 machines for about 100 units. I could fight tooth and nail for machines or wait until 2am. Instead, I pack my laundry up and head to 63^rd street. It is on my way to work and has tons of machines.
Huge bonuses for this place?
Drop-​off service!
Machines that could wash a corpse!
Regular washers big enough to take on extra large loads?
Instead of having to do ten loads when I do my every 3 weeks laundry, I can most definitely cut back when I come here or just drop it off on my way to work! I am falling in love with 63^rd Street Laundry!

Me? At a laundromat? I don’t even like to do laundry let along take it to a remote location to share it with others. The last time I was in a laundromat was in college, I think, with me trying not to leave any of my «good underwear» behind.
Well fast forward many years from those days and I found myself with a dirty comforter and a Groupon for the 63^rd laundry.
As I pull up to the location, I notice that there is plenty of parking and the smell of fabric softener wafting out the front door. So far…so good.
I stop at the desk area in the front and explain what I need. The woman was terrific– taking my comforter from me and telling me to come back the next day to pick it up. What? They are going to launder it for me? Even better!
Looking around there are plenty of the big machines for washing comforters, rugs and other things that don’t belong in a regular washing machine. But there are also rows and rows of regular washers and dryers.
The most noticeable thing about 63^rd St Laundry is that the place is CLEAN. Laundromats have certainly come a long way since my college days where I wondered how a place that was meant to clean was always so dirty. Not the case here. The floors were shiny, there were trash cans readily available to throw paper and empty soap jugs into and the staff was there to help and lend a hand.
I stopped back in the next day to pick up my comforter and it was ready, smelling fresh and clean and the whole experience cost me $ 7. That has to be the deal of the century!
Not sure when I’ll need a laundromat again, but when I do, you can bet I’ll be heading to 63^rd Street Laundry!
