Clean Scene

Helpful staff, clean facility, used card system for convenience. Came here when my home washing machine conked out. Very convenient.

I have laundry/​dryer capabilities at my apartment but chose to sell them to come to this laundromat because I have fallen in love with their high capacity machines and I can tackle 7 – 9 loads of laundry — wash and dry — in 60 min or so. The alternative was a load or two a night and always feeling like there is laundry to do or fold. By doing it all in one day I get the satisfaction of knowing that for an hour or two there is no laundry and I don’t have to do it for at least another week.
The staff is always nice and I’ve never not been able to get machines (I usually go in the evenings) except I did stumble upon the free Wash Wednesday (last one of the month) and there literally was a line out the door. I simply chose to return another day.
The customers are a good crowd and they always have a ton of magazines to read or TV to watch. Great break from the rest of my life to hang out and chill. If you want more the strip mall has food and other offerings.

As far as laundromats go, this one gets the job done. The staff is usually nice. One lady will tell you which machines are best.
Like half of the machines are out of order. But they have a lot of machines. There is never a wait.
The place is kept clean. Oh, and they have a massive machine that holds 200 lbs! They let me bring my dog.
It’s works for my needs.

This place is close to my house & I’ve been coming here a while, but literally half of the machine don’t work or don’t work well. Some of them won’t dispense softener, other won’t dispense bleach — the trouble is that it’s a crapshoot as to what issues each machine has — even the NEW ones. Some of their dryers are so hot they will scorch or melt your clothes. They do not maintain their machines here — obviously. Save yourself a wasted trip and /​or ruined laundry!

This place is located fairly well on Artesia. There’s a pizza by the slice place a couple doors down. Alberson’s is just a few blocks away for grocery and pharmacy needs. There is also a cool little dive bar across the street with a couple of pool tables. The laundry mat itself has a few arcade games and has a restroom available to the public. If you’re like me and need something else to do while waiting on your laundry to wash or dry then this spot is pretty cool.

I like that it’s fairly clean and well kept. The attendants are usually very nice too. I also like that they use a card system so I don’t have to keep a ton of quarters on me.
However there are many machines that don’t work, and there have been several occasions where a machine stopped working in the middle of a cycle.
I’ve heard of people getting clothes stolen here, but after three years it has yet to happen to me.

My first time here and I have to say it is very well kept and plenty of machines! It is so clean probably because there’s a nice lady here watching and picking up any trash that falls. Definitely recommend this place. I also like the card use makes it easier to not carry all this change around!

This place is terrible. I gave it two chances and it was a very unpleasant experience overall.
The whole place is dirty and smelly. Many of the machines are out of order.

The good: Large selection of machines, the nice lady Chella on Friday nights will tell you which machines are best, have always found a washer, you use a card instead of having to fumble with quarters, and there are machines of different sizes if you have huge loads or want to take a spin bath :)
The bad: The insides of where the soap and stuff go are really gross, they close at 10 pm instead of 11 like they used to.
The ugly: I left about 3 loads in the washer to go with my friend to the convenience store a couple of doors down to get a soda and when I got home later I realized my fitted bedsheet WAS MISSING. REALLY?! You would steal my stuff out of THE WASHER?! Don’t think I’ll be going back.
P. S. Neighborhood Grinds closes early now.

Its a Laundromat. Its clean.

This place uses a card system instead of coins. It’s kind of a smart concept, because once you load the card up, you’re committed to coming back. It seemed like there were alot machines out of order. What is nice is they also have a water refill place, so we can bring our water jugs to be refilled.

This place is gross.
Everything looks dirty, the machines are all old and beat-​up, and you can’t use quarters. I’ve never seen fewer than 5 washers out of order, and 3 dryers, for than matter. But those look good compared to the empty spaces where they just pull out machines for weeks at a time and leave a big hole there. Classy!
You have to buy a card and put money on it, since all the machines run on a swipe system, and they _​do not_​give you back the money remaining on the card after you’re done. I guess that’s their way of getting any money you have, or trying to get you to come back. I just went until I ended up with less than a quarter on the card, handed it in and said I was never going back.
I found a great clean laundry nearby. I would mention it here, but people might think I’m posting on behalf of or involved with the other laundry.
The best thing about this place is that there is a coffee shop nearby where you can wait for your clothes instead. (the coffee shop, Neighborhood Grinds, is pretty good) Also in the other direction is a convenience store run by Steve, a very nice guy who always says hi, and asks how I’m doing.

I use this spot for one thing my bedding.
They have huge washer which are $ 5.00 dollars to use. I put two comforters, two other blankets big enough for someone 6 foot, a sheet and pillow cases into 1 washer. They even have a BIGGER unit. What you would need that for who knows. No joke you could wash almost every article of clothing you own and once. QUICK & DONE.
The machines can be a little tricky to use. They take a credit card looking thing that machines inside of this spot use. It is actually easy once you an employee runs you thru it.
This spot has a large pizza delivery poster on wall if you plan on being there for a bit.
They have arcade games in the corner that seem pretty modern (sit down race car game).
The staff are very nice and seemed to have worked there for awhile, the staff knew several cats names.

My bf and I have been coming here for ~6 months. If it weren’t for the helpful guy that works here, Matt, I’m not sure what my rating would be. I’m not a fan of laundry or laundromats… but who is. I can’t say I dread doing it though because ever since day one when I came to this place, I’ve never had to fumble around with the machines or try and guess how the card machines work. Matt is friendly, hardworking, and eerily knowledgeable about the inner workings of every machine here. Thanks for taking care of us!

Prices went up! It went from $ 1.25 to $ 1.50 to now $ 2.00! The new machines releases less water, but the clothes doesn’t get really washed in water. After my load was done, I felt that my clothes were dry washed.
The old washers stinks like mildew, and they usually are mildew stuck at the edge. If you look up underneath where you put the laundry detergent, its mildew, and black soap scummed. Very Disgusting! When they did the maintenance upgrade, they really should clean their old smelly washers too! :-(

I was very sad when, in February, I rolled in for my bi-​weekly laundry session and found that they were closed for the entire month to update their systems. Two laundry sessions anywhere else felt so odd and alienating as this has basically become my laundry home. I know this is somewhere I can roll into and roll out without much hassle.
Since they’ve reopened, I’ve been very confused to find that many of the machines that were down were still down or gone altogether and not yet replaced. Additionally, there were newer, spiffier machines on one end, but they only took quarters; this from a place that I also loved because of their laundry cards that spared me from carrying bags of quarters around.
I’m still going here for laundry, but my fingers are crossed for the machines to be back up and for the precious laundry cards because the cleanliness and brightness here are unequaled elsewhere.

Let’s see…
huge washers that you can do 1 massive load of wash for 6 bucks, or a small massive one for 4.25, then the usual for 1.25. Or the mega washer for blankets, never used it.
A quarter for each 10 minutes, which I do 3. I think the selling point is the people watching. This one guy sprayed the dryer with AXE body spray so his clothes smelt like date rape.
Plus, they use a card system with cash so you can save those quarters for skittles. Or, for one of those sticky hands in the machine.

I come here as little as possible. Rather, I try to do laundry as little as possible, which, in turn, well you get the point…
They have a large variety of machine sizes, and a huge wall of (usually) working dryers.
The card system makes paying for my typical three weeks worth of laundry simple.
When you’re done, call poulet du jour and order your food. It will be ready by the time you get there.
Laundry… Ugh.

This laundry is badly run and in horrible condition. We have now the end of February and the ATM machine is still broken (since New Year!!!) and so are all but one of the Laundry Card recharger’s. I would say that about 30 – 40 percent of the machines are «out of order» at all times. When you put your clothes in the dryer it is also highly recommended that you stay around and check if it really gets hot, because a lot of them aren’t really able to get to the desired temperature.
I recently asked the lady that works there to give me the owners info, but she said that the lady who owns it would just tell me to go somewhere else. So I decided to contact the mall owner to let them know that their tenant is really providing bad service to the people
of Redondo Beach. I know that a lot of mall owners take pride in their places and they might care. Anyway, if you can avoid this place please do so. Looking for Cleaners on Unilocal encouraged me to find another cleaner in my neighborhood myself.

I’ve heard that in Silverlake there is a laundromat with tons of hot, young, single hipsters and a Starbucks. So, besides that place, I’m gonna say Clean Scene is the best laundromat around.
The last time I did my laundry here I left an entire load in one of the dryers. This load included: my favorite tank top, my favorite black pants, one of my pillowcases, and some very cute underwear. I got home – after Clean Scene was closed – and I was so sad. That’s the last I will ever see of my favorite skivvies, right?
Wrong! I called the next day and they had saved my stuff in a sealed plastic bag, waiting for me to pick it up. Yay! The staff there is so professional and patient, especially if you’re trying to figure out new concepts such as bleach for the first time in your life. They were also very pleasant on the phone.
It’s pretty cheap to come here, and you put your money on one of those card things, which makes it easy. There are always plenty of machines available and you can even go enjoy some coffee and wi-​fi at Neighborhood Grinds next door while you wait.
