L & M Launderette

$ 2.5 for top load washers
$ 2.75 for front load washers
$ 0.25 for 7mins in dryer
The dryers dry well, I did $ 1 for a large load on med heat and everything except my towel and 1 hoodie was dry.
The washers and dryers were clean and there were plenty available. They have three long tables for folding and lots of carts to help in the washer to dryer transfer.
The change maker excepts $ 1, $ 5, and $ 10.

I don’t usually make use of a laundromat but my King size down comforter needed to be washed. In fact the last time I was at this place was maybe 8 years ago — the last time I washed the comforter. Wasn’t sure what to expect but on a late Saturday afternoon/​early evening — plenty of machines. They had a double load machine that had a sign «for comforters». Machine seemed to do a great job on comforter for $ 3.50. Dried it in one of the extra large dryers with a couple of tennis balls to keep it fluffed another $ 2.50. Upscale clientele — mostly young professionals. Great reading material; Forbes, Fortune, and Kiplinger plus they have wi-​fi. Turned out to be a nice pleasant 90 minutes. If you go here — there are several restaurants and café’s so you can keep yourself entertained.

I’m disappointed. I’ve been going to L&M for 2 years, and it’s been good… until today.
I thought it was a good enough place; convenient location, normal prices, and the lady who runs the place is friendly and recognizes me. Good enough, right? No
So today-​one of the washers I’m using clearly didn’t rinse properly, and there is soap on the clothes at the completion of the cycle. I did not use too much soap, and it was the same amount in the other 2 washers I was using, and they came out clean. I showed the lady running the place, she said to let it finish, it would be fine. It wasn’t, so I showed her again, still soapy, and she said I used way too much soap. I asked her to let me re-​rinse for free, she said no.
I know it sounds like this could just as easily be my mistake-​but a friend of mine had the EXACT same experience, same washer, same refusal to help. I thought she had just used too much soap like the lady said, but now I realize it is a machine malfunction, and the lady probably get questioned about it regularly and sounds like always says not her problem
To add insult to injury-​the dryer I used didn’t work either. 30 minutes and $ 1.75 later I have a load of damp cold clothes. Awesome.
Anyway, I’m heading across the lake to Woodies across the lake. I’ve heard good things.

We take our laundry here to be washed and folded. They do an outstanding job. Our clothes always come back clean, spot free, and folded very neatly and organized. I have talked to both women, and they actually know English very well. I hardly ever take the time to review a business, but I thought this place deserved my time.

I’ve been going here for over 2+ yrs, the owners know me and speak to me in Chinese when they know I don’t know any other words in Chinese besides, pervert, shutup, and sui mai.
No frills here, wash your stuff and go. I don’t expect much from a laundromat, just wash+dry my stuff for a decent price and you’re fine in my book. There’s free wi-​fi as well. Major plus. There is usually no one there to look over the place, after maybe 7pm.
Now, the only reason I wanted to review this place was because of my experience last night.
After a longmotherfuckingday. I arrived at the laundromat with my basket of clothes, dumped it all in the wash and left to get a martini next door at a bar I used to work at.
I come back 30 minutes later to dry my clothes.
Suspicious transient lady sitting there. I just ended up not thinking much of it.
Moved my first load to the dryer. Came back and her backpack was on top of my 2^nd load.
Me: «Excuse me mam, do you mind moving your backpack off to the side for a second so I can get my second load of laundry?»
Lady: «alkjdoisajdoiawjdklamcancsijeriejfoisdmlcmsdflsjfi­odfjsmcxnv…You have been following me around and tapping into my phone lines, and sabotaging my life. YOU ARE THE INTERNET, STOP RECORDING ME. You’re a fucking whore skank, slut, bitch, cunt, son of a bitch. I see you here all the time and you’re coming after me, YOU ARE THE EVIL INTERNET!»
Me: ” ??? «
Internet lady starts lunging at me. I leave.
Then I come back (becozIwaslikeohhellznahbitch), and it was deathcon match x’s 100 million.
The evil internet devil spawn came after me.
Now I wish I could tell you kiddies what happened next (in clear details) but my fight/​flight flipped on and I went ape shit on her.
2 minutes in, there is a crowd outside watching us yell and scream and shove each other. Then the owners came. She told the owners that she comes here all the time and that I am evil and I am a looney. That’s when I decided that I decided to knock out the rest of her ALREADY missing mother fucking teef, but they blocked me.
I had a lot of wine after I left. Then I had to go home and scrub the evil internet devil spawn off of me, I used a lot of bleach.
I think this may be my longest review.

It’s an unmanned coin-​operated launderette, what do you expect? I don’t know what these two other reviewers are talking about or what they expect from a place like this. It’s a laundry place, it does it’s job. Or more like you’re provided the tools to do your job.
I get my clothes washed and dried really fast and it doesn’t cost me $ 2 to dry my clothes; it’s a $ 1 at most. I live in an apartment not too far away and the complex has a pair of washer and a pair of dryers, but it takes me 4 hours to do it there, if I find all machines available. I decided to go here to wash my clothes after seeing my load on top of the machines again. I finished washing my clothes in half the time, sometimes in an hour and a half. Yeah it cost me more, but the time I save is well worth it. I usually have 3 or 4 loads to wash. Oh, my shirts come out wrinkle free… well that’s a trick my mom thought me. I’ve been asked by other patrons how I was able to do it.
Oh, while you’re waiting for your clothes to wash or dry, especially if you effed up and don’t know how to properly dry your clothes, there are plenty of places nearby to eat. I ordered from Domino’s and did a pick up right across the street. Go right next door at Kung Pao Kitchen for quick Chinese food. If they are open, grab a sandwich at the Coffee Mill & Bakery. On a cold day, have a hot chocolate at Michael Mischer Chocolates. If you shrank your clothes, there’s Weight Watchers right next to Michael Mischer’s. Also by the way, there’s free WiFi in this place.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!! Clothes came out of the washer WET and over $ 2 to dry one small load of clothes. People who work there offer NO HELP!!!
I REPEAT NEVER, NEVER, NEVER go here!!!

This place is just your basic laundry place. In other words, a good place to roll your stuff into, wash + dry, and then roll your stuff out. No frills here but a great place to have in the neighborhood. It does tend to get filled up on some days though. I came here one day and there was a line of people waiting for washers so I made my way to Woody’s (across the lake) and this is where I usually do my laundry now. Also, parking is difficult to find here and Woody’s has a parking lot. I do like the convenience of being able to bring small loads here via a cart on occasion.

Even though I live around the corner from Launderville, I decided to go here since my BF and I needed to do laundry and wanted to eat chinese for dinner (Kung Pao Kitchen is next door). Sounds like a perfect combo for a Monday night.
I was happy first off to see that this laundromat had baskets with poles short enough that you could easily fit it through the doorway and out to your car, which makes for easy speedy loading. Great! The cost to wash was the same as my closer laundry, so great as well. It wasn’t overly crowded, great! I was pleased for the first few minutes, but after I loaded my clothes into the top loading washers, I noticed that one was not washing my clothes properly. They were in the exact same position as they were when I loaded them in. OK, I know, Big Deal, right? A broken washer. Yes, a broken washer, BUT, the inside part of the machine that was supposed to spin had shifted a little where it exposed this greenish, gray brown sludge that was all along the rim of it. I was so digusted!
I didn’t even bother washing my load of sheets that I had. After my clothes finished the wash cycle I packed up my 3 loads of wet clothes and high tailed it back to my neighborhood laundromat where I rewashed my clothes.
This place is truly disgusting. I would never come back here again.
