Eastgate Laundromat

I got caught with a downed machine for a few weeks, so I came here. Large facilities, many machines, very clean. The negative — Holy cow, it’s expensive!

This place is pretty big. There are a few different sizes of machines starting from $ 3.00 to $ 8.00.

Yes, I do my laundry at my most favorite laundromat in the world. I live in an apartment complex and I don’t trust the laundry room in the basement. Frankly because you have to go through 2 doors to a small box like room. I dunno… it kind of screams SCARY HORROR MOVIE.
Anyhoo, Eastgate laundromat = A++++++. This place is clean, always has available machines, and the owners are friendly and very helpful. Go figure, someone who has the same last name as our awesome Cubs pitcher is of course reliable and knows how to make people happy.
Peaceful place to get what you need to get done and no one bothers you. Best laundromat around!!!

Nice place in a nice part of town (established neighborhood with decent housing and newer apartments). In a large strip mall with lots of free parking. Plenty of newer machines. Several coin change machines and they work. Staff is present. Soft drink and snack machines. Bears playing on TV with sound on. Mix of people washing clothes (young & old, diverse nationalities). Typical prices, but decent for Chicago suburb.

We are in the process of relocating our family of five to Illinois and needed a laundromat for a several weeks. Eastgate Laundromat is clean and decently priced. The staff is helpful and there are a large number of washers and dryers for use with variable pricing for your laundry needs. We have been at various times and have yet to wait on a washer or dryer. There are carts for moving laundry, large folding tables, change machines, free WiFi that actually works (although you have to ask for the password), vending machines and a soap center. My kids love the wheeled chairs scattered through the laundromat. We actually went to two other laundromats in the area, but came back to Eastgate. Since we are using it during the summer, I was surprised and very thankful that they air condition the laundromat. If you need to do laundry on a regular basis or just need a large capacity washer for rugs or blankets, I would recommend Eastgate.

I hate doing laundry but then again who doesn’t? I’ve been going here for the past year and luckily almost every time I go it’s never busy and always clean. The employees and owners are very nice so that helps a lot!

Nice, relatively clean Laundromat.
I like the fact that there are plenty of washers and dryers, and most of them actually work. I’ve never had to wait to use anything, even when it’s busy.
There is always an attendant working, so if you encounter any problems, there’s someone around to help.
Maybe someday I’ll live in a place where I have my own washer/​dryer, but until then, I’ll just continue to come to this little gem.

It has been a long time since I had to go somewhere to wash my clothes. I like many think they are dirty and dingy places. It was very clean inside and out and all the machines are well taken care of. We had one washer that was not taking are quarters on the first try and we did tell the attendant and apologized for the problem. It still worked but I am sure they will fix it. I will be washing my clothes again soon at home when the remodel we are having done is finished but if I have to go out my go to place will be here.

I’m always a little hesitant heading to laundromats so when I was without a washer/​dryer for a couple weeks and had to go here, I was expecting to the worst. The reality is, this place isn’t so bad. I’ll admit that I haven’t been to many laundromats but this is probably one of the nicest I’ve been to.
The place is big and has a lot of washers and dryers. There’s a bill exchange machine to break down your larger currency and a quarter machine as well. A little seating area can be found on one side with vending machines available. There’s a tv in that area but I never saw it on. There’s also music playing but it’s what I like to call «old people tunes» which means unless you’re 45+ it’ll probably put you to sleep. The rest of the seating at the place is a little odd, there’s benches and random office chairs scattered around for you to sit on.
I’ve visited here on three separate occasions, twice during the week and once on a Sunday. All the times I went it wasn’t really busy at all and there were always machines available. I even saw workers there fulling cleaning the inside and outside of the machines one day which made me feel good.
The prices for a wash varies. If your laundry load isn’t too big, there’s small machines for $ 2.50. There’s machines for a medium load for $ 3.75 and the prices continue to go up from there. The machines I used for washing were all really quick (under 20 mins). The dryers are big and you’ll be able to fit a good amount in them. $.25 will get the dryer started for 8mins and each additional quarter you put in from there will add 6 mins. Again, I don’t frequent laundromats too often so I can’t really say whether or not those prices are great or terrible. There’s also an option for you to drop off your laundry for them to do for you individuals who are in a hurry or despise folding like me.
As for the clientele there… who am I to judge? Well I’m a Unilocal reviewer so I feel as if it’s my duty to judge the people I’ve seen there yet never conversed with. Some of them did seem a little strange but I must add that I pretty much find everyone to be a tad weird. But hey, at least they’re washing their clothes and not walking around in dirty underwear.

You’re probably thinking … gee Gemma, go to a bar or something. Well, Fred and Mary’s little place has got it going on for drop off laundry in terms of specialty pieces.
I told a friend that I had a century old lace tablecloth that was so dusty even dust mites walked away. She said, «Fred and Mary will do wonders with it.» Well, okay.
So, in I went clutching my heirloom dust-​cloth and in three days I picked up a beautifully clean, packed with care, tablecloth of many Holiday dinners past.
I was sold. On the agenda next came an equally old baby quilt that carried stains of who knows what. Again, they laid their hands on it and in three days … ditto.
The prices are very reasonable and service with a smile goes a long way with me!
Super!

Friendly people, fast and affordable wash and fold service — dropped off ~25 pounds (I think?) at 8:30 this morning and picked it up at 5:15 this evening, at a cost of $ 24.75. (Not sure what the per pound rate is, but pretty sure my bags weighed more than 12.5 pounds.)

Osi V referred me to this place when I was looking for a place to wash my whites, seeing as I have well water and after just 2 washes by whites were already turning yellow!!! Hell no… that was not working for me, so off to the laundromat I had to go!
O told me that her and her mama had been going here for a while because it was one of the best in the area, and I have to say they were right. The place is never really too busy, it’s clean and the prices seem like any other laundromat. My son even made friends with a little old Polish lady one time and she was pushing him around on an office chair. Ahhhh… classic laundromat… haha.
This is my go-​to place to wash my whites and for all you GTL-​ers out there… they have a drop-​off service where they will wash and fold your shiz!

I hate Laundromats. Most of them are dirty and there’s weird creepy people in them. This one though is always clean and there is always open machines. Can’t get away from the creepo’s though. ;) I don’t know if the price is right or not since I rarely go, but 3 big loads for 15 bucks is what I paid. They have laundry service there, not Shakira’s CD, they actually do your laundry for you if you want to pay for it. There’s some vending machines and a little table. I was also very tempted to go next door to Mr. Wonton… maybe next time I will.
