The Clothes Spin

The look i isn’t what I’m use to but the location was close and the price OK. I did my own since it was one load. Lots of machines and no body wanting to talk. Win win.

I don’t understand how businesses like this even exist. I’m not a big Unilocaler, but I’ve been wanting to write a review about this place just to warn women about the sexual harassment from the employees here. Now that they’ve ruined my dry cleaning without offering to compensate me, I figured it was about time.
I dropped off a jumpsuit for dry cleaning. I went to pick it up on the day it was supposed to be ready. They told me it would be awhile longer. After I pick it up and take it home, I unwrap my suit and the material is completely ruined. Chemicals they used had eaten through the fabric.
I take it back to them. They tell me it’s not their responsibility because they’re just a middleman and that the company they use is responsible for me. Also, they knew about it and didn’t call me and just sold it back to me without a word (the company they used told me). They did not offer me a solution besides to try to return it to the store that I bought it from.
When I call the company, Russell’s Cleaning Services, they told me that they followed the directions on the tag and that it’s not their responsibility. I go to look for the tag, and it’s been cut off! They offered for me to pay another $ 40 to send it to Florida for an assessment as to why it was ruined.
As for the lecherous vibe here, the workers and what seems to be their friends hanging out here will just stare women down without even the respect to look away when their gaze is met. I asked some of the neighbors about this place and one person told me that he wouldn’t let his wife go there alone. A lady told me that I shouldn’t wear shorts or tank tops in there, that she covers her body when she goes in there to do laundry.
Hide your kids, hide your wife, or just boycott this place.

I travel quite a bit for work, I found myself in New Orleans again however this time my trip got extended from 3 days to 7 days. Which was fine with me other than the fact that I only brought 4 days worth of clothes. I have walked passed this laundry mat a few times during my previous stays. So I stopped in to clean my clothing. Some machines were broken but they had ample machines available. They also have soap, and fabric softener for sale. And if you are feeling really lazy I heard they have a wash and fold service. If ever need to wash clothing again while I’m in New Orleans I will come here first.

As I had just moved to the French Quarter, I was terrified as to what the laundromat situation would be. I absolutely love the Clothes Spin. I have gone twice now and each time was a great experience. The Clothes Spin is in a great location, very walkable from within the Quarter and even Treme. When the streetcar is finished, you will be able to stop right at their front door. The staff is very helpful and has that awesome New Orleans humor and candor. The machines use a debit card type system so you do not have to worry about carrying a ton of quarters. The laundromat has super size washers, so you can wash several loads at a time quickly within 20 minutes. The dryers are HOT HOT HOT! You can get done with a large load in under thirty minutes. There are rolling carts to transfer the laundry from the washer to dryer then to the large folding area. The laundromat has free wifi, televisions, and snack machines. The bathroom is even clean.

Great place to wash your clothes while visiting the big easy. 5 minute walk from Bourbon street. TV, video, games, music and even the attendant gives you that great big welcoming smile resembling Loui Armstrong himself:)

Use a prepaid card that costs fifty cents up front. Machines was fine and dryers are good too. $ 3.50 per regular wash, $ 2.00 for dry. $ 2.00 soap or softner. This place is easy to get to and they have a few parking places so get there when they open for a space. Also they have a bar next door. Very safe and friendly staff on site.

lots of big machines and interesting clientele. last wash at 5:30 most days, fyi. clean enough. friendly enough. and a tiny bit of off street parking!

We used this service while visiting NO. Service was excellent. Drop off around 9 am picked up around five. Everything was folded neatly and ready to go.

Moving from Uptown to the French Quarter, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the nearby laundromats. I came here on a Saturday around noon, expecting to find no parking out front and no available machines. I was wrong. Parking right outside, all the machines open. And the attendant couldn’t be more helpful.
The machines are newer than other laundromats I’ve been to, Magazine & Babylon. They use smart cards and I’m not sure exactly how the system worked but I basically loaded up the machines, the attendant estimated it would cost about $ 12 to wash and dry and he took care of the rest. Sheets, quilt and all my clothes will be done in less than two hours. Lots of folding room in the back to leave with everything nice and neat.
The Clothes Spin is open 7 days a week from 8 – 8. There is wifi for customers, snack machines too and it’s right next door to a bar. Can’t ask for much more than that. They also do drop off service and dry cleaning.

I’m in a touring band and we came through here to do laundry. Nice staff. Very helpful. I recommend this place if you’re coming through the area.

Great laundrymat, friendly guy working there, very helpful. He was always there along with a couple of other staff, so I felt safe to leave my washing there to finish while I went for a walk to the nearby Louis Armstrong Park. I did all my washing then paid the friendly guy, so didn’t need the right coins for the machines etc.

With the plethora of laundromats in and around the French Quarter, I would look elsewhere before coming to the Clothes Spin. The owner (?) was on personal calls cussing up a storm, even when I was standing in front of him to pay. The other elderly gentleman they had working there was a little brusk and hard to understand. I paid $ 10 total to wash my down comforter in the big washer/​dryer which was fair, although it smelled strange when all was said and done.
It is a big space with lots of machines, which is a plus, but it wasn’t air conditioned when I was there and they didn’t have the big industrial fans on so it was very warm inside. They have an ATM on premises that only charged 99 cents, which was nice.

This place isn’t your average laundromat, but I like the way they do things! One previous review mentioned that it wasn’t the cleanest place, but I didn’t think that was true. It was clean enough. Plus the guy who worked there was helpful. The thing I liked most most about this place was the efficiency of the washers and dryers. I was in and out in an hour and my clothes were treated very well indeed.

This place isn’t the cleanest. if I can be honest about the situation… They do how ever have HUGE washers and driers so, if you’re wanting to do 2 or 3 loads at once. this is the place to get it done for about $ 10 bucks. They use a money card system, so you can put money on your card and save it for the next visit.
Aside from the industrial size machines that smell a little of mold, they have a dry cleaning service! This is the best thing about SPIN. (well I like the .99 cent ATM and wifi as well)
FREE WIFI and .99 cent ATM!!!

I love The Clothes Spin. It’s funky and quirky & not all of the machines work, but I still love it. I go in there less than I should (I hate doing laundry), but talk to the guy that’s there, who is really helpful. If a machine isn’t working & you put your card in before you realize it, he will set you up on another machine. There is wifi & always an interesting array of characters rolling through. Not to mention, how many places have a laundry set up in a former recording studio where Jerry Lee Lewis, Shirley & Lee, & Ray Charles all recorded!!! It’s kind of funny when you’re folding your unmentionables & a group of tourists come in to check the place out… makes me giggle every time. I did four loads of laundry yesterday, wash & dry for less than $ 20. If all goes according to plan, I will start going once a week. But probably in three weeks, like usual, I put it off as long as possible.

It’s a laundromat. So, nothing special there. They’ve got a couple of TVs, some vending machines, a jukebox, and one video arcade game. (Though, you can’t really hear the jukebox when a lot of the machines get going.)
Instead of using quarters, you load money onto a card, and the machines read the card.
The prices are pretty reasonable, too.
Half of the machines are frequently broken, and it’s likely that you’ll have to consult the laundry attendant for one thing or another.
They claim to offer same-​day laundry service, but the last several times I’ve gone, I was none-​too-​politely informed that I could not get same day service. On a few occasions, I couldn’t even get two day service. I brought my laundry in at 9am on a Tuesday, and before I even said anything, I was very bluntly told «It won’t be ready until Thursday.» No thank you, I’ll wash it myself.
Since I initially wrote this review, the service has improved. My biggest qualm with this place is, and will probably always be the machines. There are some that work as they should, but many that don’t. It really is unpleasant to put your clothes in the dryer for an hour and come back to find that they are still wet and not even a little bit warm. Sure, I didn’t have to pay to dry them again, but that was an hour of my day wasted.
We spend time to save money, I suppose.

This laundromat was right next to our hotel, so you can’t beat the location. It all works on a card system, where you load it up and swipe it in the machines, so you don’t even have to lug around a bunch of quarters. There were a few machines out of order, but they were clearly marked and there were plenty open when I was there.
The guy working was awesome. Very friendly and helpful.
