Courtesy Cleaners & Coin Laundry

Gross. Dirty. Reeks of mold. And they lost a pair of $ 100 pants that I dropped off for dry cleaning. And big surprise — they won’t do anything about it. I’d give negative stars if I could.

Management was extremely rude and washing machines not working properly. I will NEVER spend another dime at this place!!!

It’s in a great location, it’s easy to get in and out. The times I’ve washed here it’s been quick and as pleasant as a laundromat could possibly be. I usually come in to just dry and there’s always dryers available. You just have to know what times to go!

In a nutshell, this place and the machines need some serious maintenance and cleaning. The front load washers had a green like substance growing in the glass door, which appeared to be algae. Will not return!

I can thank the big laundromat on Nine Mile for providing the fresh smell of cleaned clothing when the wind shifts the right way, a friendly scent I rather enjoy. Washing day was always such a nice thing to come home to when the season turns towards darker, longer nights. They stock the usual variety of coin-​operated washers and dryers in various sizes, from the smaller 20 lbs up to the heavy-​duty 35 lbs for your dust covers and comforters. A giant industrial drum can apparently hold your entire closet with ease, and should not be approached by bachelors doing their once a month laundry trip. That sucker is out of the space age.
Various chairs scattered around attempt to give comfort for those not going down to Ferndale Foods or over to Blockbuster for idle browsing. The bathrooms are pretty gross, and desperately could use a deep scrubbing. I suppose their frequent use makes cleaning a challenge, what with all the other hectic business going on.
They offer a drycleaning service that charges a fair amount. Its popularity is evident given how many clothes spin by, but I think that’s convenience over cost. I much prefer $ 2.29 Cleaners in Birmingham; I’ve been quoted exorbitant rates here for a simple dress or a shirt, ranging upwards of $ 15 for the latter. Really? It’s a dress shirt, no fancy buttons, no golden tassels, no precious photo-​images of a unicorn riding a velociraptor to be preserved. Not my cup of tea.

Sometimes I like to pretend I live in a world where my household duties will suddenly take care of themselves. It isn’t something I am proud of and I’m working on it, but, chores are the pits. Luckily when I let my laundry get out of hand and I start feeling overwhelmed Courtesy Cleaners is there to save the day! The normal size washer and dryer I have in my building would mean the impending battle would take a few loads, but with a commercial washer and dryer? ONE! Life has never made this much sense.
The facility itself is clean enough, with staff occasionally checking the washers and driers for loose articles of clothing left behind, sweeping, mopping, disinfecting. The crowd isn’t particularly talkative or lively, which I like since I am normally nose deep into a book. (Though, I will say there should be a coin laundry place that has Speed Dating night. I think that would be hilarious, and probably take care of two birds with one stone for a lot of people.) But most of all their dry cleaning services are well priced and I have yet to get an item returned that I was not satisfied with.
So why only three stars? This place sounds like the Raj Mahal right?! I mean it is kind of just your typical cleaners/​laundromat but possible four star in the dry cleaning area. I would recommend going there but here is the catch, don’t drink a ton of liquids beforehand because you do not want to have to use their bathrooms. I can’t elaborate, please don’t ask me to, just take my word on it.
