Park Slope Laundromat

Newly renovated (within the last year) with new machines. Quick turn around on drop off service and dry cleaning. Friendly staff, and a new computerized tracking system.

This place is a scam! Came here twice and twice I chose diff machines and noticed that despite having a price on the machine, the first quarter never counts, keep on dropping them in, by the 2^nd or even 3^rd quarter then the machine starts counting down, what a rip off, secondly, a lot of dryers are not working properly and there’s no sign or warning it’s broken, after putting in qtrs into dryer #12, disappointed to to find out there’s no heat but it was just spinning on and on. Frustrated after this 2^nd experience when he had to close and I left with a wet blanket. To make things worse, he asked that I leave it overnight, I asked if the machines will keep on drying overnight, he said no because of safety issues. I’m thinking why even offer if it doesn’t dry and my laundry will just end up smelling like shit leaving it wet. I don’t see him stopping me from dropping the money in when he know he’s closing in 15mins… Very shady and irresponsible operated place! Stay away!

I’ve been using this place the last 3 years. Many of these comments are before they renovated. Not amazing upgrades (its still a Laundromat), but machines are better than they were. The environment is very nice, especially for the price. Very friendly staff.

I want to like this place. It’s convenient, clean, not crowded and the people are nice. But the dryers never work properly. They recently got «new machines!» per a sign in front, but it’s the same «find the good dryer game.» I’ve expressed my displeasure, but they just shrugged and offer to refund my quarters.

Dropped off some items to dry clean and my laundry. I came back next day, the laundry was ready, clean and folded, but when I asked for my dry cleaning, the man who I had dropped it off with the day before said that there had been a problem and one of the shirts was ripped.
The item that was ripped was made of a sturdy rayon and in very good condition; only extreme carelessness could have led to it being ripped. Instead of offering me some kind of compensation (which was impossible as the shirt had been made for me by my mother from special fabric found in the 80’s), the man proceeded to ask if I even wanted it back try and charge me for everything, including the ripped item. I refused and he agreed not to charge me for the dry-​cleaning or laundry.
This was the one redeeming act of customer service from this man. He explained that he sends the dry-​cleaning out to someone else to do and complained that now he would be down $ 30. I understand that it was not him who ripped the item, but it is his responsibility to figure out his relations with the dry-​cleaning service he employs. He did not have the item on hand, assuming perhaps that I would not want it in its ripped state. He said that the rip had been sewn up and I could come back and get it the next day. I came back for the shirt a day later and he curtly nodded at me and gave me shirt without saying a word. The rip was across the chest, about 5 inches long. It had been stitched up but the shirt is ruined.
Perhaps this was an unfortunate one-​time occurrence, but I will not be back.

Nice staff. A cheaper laundromat for dropoff compared to others. But i went to do my own one day and it literally took FOREVER to get my clothes dry. Literally walked to and from 3 times to add more money for drying. I think I will stick to drop off her and do my own at another location.

The washing machines are $ 1.75 and 25 cents gives you 10 mins of drying… not bad.
Alot of people do drop off… which I would do but I find the part of «doing laundry» that I hate is carrying it to the laundromat… so if they had delivery… Id definitely be on board. The ambiance is well… kind of like an ol’ antique store, seating is limited, the tv never has anything I want to watch on it… but who cares… its a laundromat not a lounge! The people that work there are very kind. Yep the parrot talks! Says «hello» everytime I visit. So try it, very «mom & pop»…bring a newpaper and youre good to go.
Oh…Ive only gone during the week in the evenings and there is usually only one other person & the staff washing… so I can use as many machines as my heart desires.
…Its small so dont think you can sneak your flokati in the machine unnoticed!

They wash, dry, and fold my laundry for 50 cents a pound. Yes. 50 cents a pound.
Recently, when I came in to drop off around 10 a.m. and asked if I could get pick it up at the end of the day, they apologized and said they were closing at 2 that day (due to some construction issues outside — they usually close at 9). I figured I’d have to suck it up and take it elsewhere, but the man said «oh, if you’re here then, it will definitely be ready.»
And when I showed up before 1:30, was it ready? Indeed it was. I love me some Park Slope Laundromat.

I’ve been fortunate in my New York existence to only have ever used two laundromats. For my four years on the Upper West Side, I used New Shiny (
) and was greatly pleased with the service Mr. Soon and his wife provided. Once I moved to Brooklyn, I discovered the joys of EZ Laundry (
) and the beauty of a place open until 10 p.m. that did same-​day dropoff.
So I never really thought of laundry services as a big deal until there was a fire at EZ Laundry, and though they had relocated their headquarters up to the place on 5^th Ave, I hate walking up hills. So it was with no real trepidation that I went to find somewhere else to get my laundry and dry cleaning done.
Enter Park Slope laundromat.
It’s in the building right next to the giant hotel that never seems as though it will be completed and gives the aura of a place that is fighting against the corporate ‘man’. It’s small, cramped and has everything shoved into places that look as though they’re only there ’cause they got dropped off the truck like that.
I did the dropoff service, since that’s how I roll, and was pleased to find the laundry service is cheap. I had a 17 pound bag and was only charged $ 8.50 which means it’s roughly, oh, hell, I don’t know. If you wanted math, you shouldn’t have asked a liberal arts major. The clothes got clean, but weren’t folded very neatly and there was no plastic bag like at EZ, so my laundry fell out all over the place when I tried to take it out of my bag at home.
And no one wants clean drawers fallin’ all over the dirty floor.
The dry cleaning and wash/​press was disappointing, though. It’s $ 3 per buttondown shirt, $ 7 per suit jacket and the dry cleaning wasn’t cheap, either. Add in that they told me it’d be ready on a Wednesday (drop off on a Monday) and it wasn’t ready ’til Thursday (meaning I couldn’t get it ’til Saturday), and I probably won’t be coming back.
It’s also cash only, which I just don’t get in this day and age. I don’t have $ 30 or $ 40 in cash on me to get dry cleaning. So when they told me I could go next door to get the cash, and pay the ATM fee (which I despise) only to find out they didn’t actually have my stuff ready, really drove me up a wall.
* — In the warmer months, there will be a parrot outside this laundromat when it’s open. I’ve always wondered why … did someone just decide it needed a parrot? Does it say «Polly want a wash and press! Squwwwaaak!»?
