Washing Well Laundryteria

Way too expensive. I paid $ 35 for 10 lbs of wash and fold and $ 28 to dry clean one simple dress. $ 3 a pound for wash and fold. Wow! Not worth the price. I found a guy on Elysian Fields who does a better job, actually folded my socks, for just $ 1 a pound.

Living primarily in NYC and London, and having lived in Nola during grad school, I know dry cleaning here is basically extortion (not much demand for dry cleaning, unlike NYC or London), so getting a dress cleaned and a water based stain removed would be very overpriced, but didn’t want to risk it fully settling into the dress permanently.
They ship off their dry cleaning, and the lady at the washing well stated she didn’t know if they could get it out, which is fine. I assumed like most dry cleaners, they simply wouldn’t attempt to take the stain out if they felt they couldn’t get out paint, rather than essentially bleaching and destroying a $ 300 silk dress.
They somehow made three tiny drops of white paint that I could have lived with spread into three different 4 inch bleach marks along the bottom half of the dress which can be seen from a room away. And not only that, she wanted to charge the extortion rate for destroying my dress! Only upon returning and complaining again and demanding to know who she sent it to did she even remotely suggest she would give a partial refund, by threatening that we better not call the facility that she shipped it out too.
She further insisted that we just wanted a free dry cleaning job?! Living in New York and London where the costs-​of-​living are over five times that of New Orleans, and happily getting things dry cleaned there on a biweekly basis, no, I did not want a partial refund and an absolutely destroyed, never to be worn again, expensive dress.
I understand that silk and dry-​cleaning are very rare down here, but it is absolutely ludicrous to me but I just paid to have an expensive garment destroyed.
Thankfully, the facility which she threatened we better not call has been slightly more helpful, and at least is trying in some way to rectify the situation (likely won’t be fixed, but don’t destroy my 100% silk dress and threaten me).

Very friendly great service well worth the price I will go
Back the owner was there and we got a little
history lesson 65 years in business

I have used this type of service all over the US and have never been happier with the customer service and the end result.
Friendly & fast, same day service that is second to none!
I will use them whenever I am in NOLA & will confidently send anyone who asks their way.

Caveat: I haven’t gone here, yet, but the lady who answered the phone was very friendly.
I think what (partially) accounts for the negative reviews is their unusual pricing system for wash & fold.
Rather than charge per pound, they charge $ 15.75 per 8lb load, for which «you get your own machine.» Then they charge you 50 cents extra for soap. Then tax. So if you have one pound over 8lbs, you’re already at $ 32 before tax and soap. I can see that biting people in the rear who don’t expect it.
But it’s still expensive: even maxing out machines in 8lb increments works out to about $ 2/​lb before tax and soap. They will pick up nearby for another $ 15.
They are in the quarter though, so these prices come as no small surprise. I’m sure their rent aint cheap either.

WORST PLACE EVER! We had two medium-​sized loads of laundry, which they wanted $ 44 for us to «do ourselves» which seemed to be basically letting them do everything but the folding. The ladies were curt and seemed annoyed we were there. Even in NYC we don’t have anything approaching that expensive for laundry service. Save yourself — walk two blocks further North on Bourbon for Suds Dem Duds, and either do it yourself or drop off, at least they won’t rip you off.

Really overpriced for what it is ($ 18 for 4 lbs of single load wash/​fold), but then again it’s a laundromat in the French Quarter and it’s cheaper than the hotel prices.
AWFUL hours. The latest you can turn in a load is 3PM if you want to get it the same day. Because of this it might not be a great choice for people here on business.

The ladies there are nice enough but this place is a rip off. I had a bookbag size load of clothes (could fit in 1 washer). It weighed 11 pounds and they wanted to charge me about $ 34 for wash and fold! When I said that was way too expensive they said that I could fill the washer myself and then pay $ 18!!! This is ONE LOAD OF LAUNDRY. Maybe New Orleans laundry prices are higher than I am used to, but I have been to many a wash and fold and have never paid that much money.

This place rocks! Very fast (2 Hr turn around time) and friendly. I travel a lot for work and depend on these little laundromats often. The price is right and it’s conveniently located in the French Quarter.
I told the nice woman working there I’d write this review… so if you read this and go there, tell her I sent ya. (wink)
