Ten Ten Full Service Dry Cleaner

The place is closed or doesn’t exist at that address.

The best part of this place was the dry cleaning, which no longer exists. They closed the dry cleaning part and moved it to another location. So, now it’s just coin-​op laundry. I’ve been going here for about 2 years and the quality of the machines has steadily gone downhill. I kept going back because it’s right around the corner and I’d always get to that do-​or-​die laundry situation on a Sunday and it was too late to try and find a new laundrymat. However, I am now at the point of driving to another neighborhood to do laundry. More than once, I’ve taken my clothes out to see that they didn’t get get completely wet, they’re still in the folds they were when I put them in the machine, and they are in no way clean (and no, I am not overstuffing the machine). You can come here, but you’d really be better off soaking your clothes in your bathtub at home.

1010 isn’t the best laundromat out there. Then again, it’s a laundromat in the Inner Richmond… what more can you ask for? There is another laundromat two doors away, but it’s filthy. 1010 is my go-​to laundromat, because it’s 1) never crowded, 2) inexpensive, and 3) clean. They also provide altering and dry-​cleaning services during business hours.
One thing that annoys me is the fact that they have yet to fix their «out of service» stacked dryers. It’s been like that for almost a year now… get to it!
Overall, decent laundromat that will get you in, out, and on with your day.

As I have said before, I am a sucker for businesses that remember the little things… like my name. The guy who runs the dry cleaner here always new my name and joked with me when I came in. Since I moved I have not been able to find a good dry cleaner and I miss this place.
Its cheap and turnaround is quick. They don’t lose stuff and they have fixed many a pair of Diesels that have fallen apart on me. What more do you really need?
The laundromat side of the business is standard fare. Bring your own soap. Their dispenser is frustrating.

This review is purely for the self-​serve laundry mat which I believe is separately owned from the dry cleaning service.
This is my local laundry mat. It doesn’t have much character but the machines are efficient and it is generally clean inside. The machines are all Maytag and relatively new and the prices are very reasonable. There are three new 20lb washers which work very well and are only $ 2.25. Dryers are $.25/​7 mins.
Beware when using the giant silver triple washers as it can give you a scare when you come back and watch them spin what looks like an empty washing machine. Don’t worry, your clothes have not been stolen, they’re still inside just wet.
There is usually someone from the adjoining dry cleaners there during daylight hours so it’s a little bit of added comfort if you step outside with all your clothes inside. It seems pretty safe and I usually don’t worry about leaving my clothes there while I step out. However, I have seen a few tramps sometimes scouring for spare change from underneath the machines with a clothe hanger.
There is even a faint wi-​fi signal so you can bring your laptop. The chairs are not the most comfortable. They are, what I refer to as «communist chairs,» which are essentially a set of four lawn chairs all attached to each other. This is obviously an anti-​theft measure but the guy who designed it didn’t think about the impractical aspect of everybody having to scoot back or forward in unison.

They’re not perfect, but they’re mine.
They do wash and fold. They just lowered their price. I’m not telling how much. It can take them a couple of days so I usually just give them extra towels and sheets (the things I hate folding the most). I don’t give them any delicates or anything with stains cuz I don’t want to regret anything. If it’ll shrink in a dryer that’s on at full blast, don’t give it to them for wash and fold.
Also, there’s actually 2 laundromats so if you show up to do laundry and the washing machines are all full (or dryers), head down the street a bit and there’s another one with older machines. They do cheap alterations. Which is good, cuz sometimes my clothes are cheap and I don’t feel like spending much for upkeep. They’ve done some amazing repairs. Still, I wouldn’t trust them with anything TOO nice…
They dry clean pretty cheap, too. The only time it got pricey was when I gave them my Cal. King size down comforter for dry cleaning. (Normally $ 35 but since I’ve been a custy for 3 years, they dropped off $ 5).
Also, one time I forgot a load of laundry in one of the dryers. They got it back for my dumbass. Thank you!

Updated to 4 Stars — I didn’t know if I was going love 1010 or not… I dropped my laundry off in the AM for Wash N Fold. Good thing — they were open at 8AM like their sign stated. Bad for Laundry world which I adore — at 8AM they still had locks on the door which is why I decided to try this place finally. Bad thing — 1010 guy looked shocked when I asked for my laundry pick up to be a day later after 5PM. He asked twice «Are you sure Thursday» — «Yes please» I say with a smile! Please don’t ask me when I’d like to pick something up — then give me a blank stare when I give you an answer. :) I left feeling like I cheated on Laundry World and like I should not have left my clothes there… *sigh* I’ll let you know how they turn out. Side note — they are the SAME price as Laundry World… .90 cents per pound — although last I checked with him it was 70 cents per pound so I think he’ll haggle if you want to try — I just didn’t have the energy this morning. I’ll update once I pick up the goods. :)
***Update — been there twice now laundry has always been less expensive here than at Laundryworld. Only con — they wrap your clothes in plastic instead of that paper. Bad for environment and sometimes clothes can have static. They do just as good a job as Laundryworld though so really it’s a toss up which is closer to you.

I love Ten Ten, and here are TEN reasons why:
1.) REALLY inexpensive shirt cleanings and dry-​cleaning, like the least expensive I’ve found in the city. I’d been using it as a laundrette only until a friend of mine, who is a model and fashion-​conscious and therefore knows a LOT more about the care and feeding of clothing than I do (who just learned how NOT to shrink my sweaters this year), swears by the quality of their cleaning.
2.) They have NEW WASHING MACHINES. Oops. I should keep that to myself. Welp, cat’s out of the bag already, so, here’s the scoop. They have a bunch (like 5) new double-​load /​side door loading washing machines. I like new machines because they don’t tend to rip or destroy your clothes as much. Also, you’re less likely to plunk in your last quarters, wait 15 minutes and have the machine die on you with your clothes stuck in sudsy, dirty water.
3.) The clothes dryers are super efficient without being so flaming hot that they shrink your duds. I’m not guaranteeing that these are «magical» machines wherein, if you stuff a wet wool sweater in you’re not going to see major shrinkage, just that… Well, these are good dryers, dammit. The apartment building I lived at in Boston had its own laundry facilities and one of the dryers was mis-​calibrated or something, like if you take the governor off of a golf cart. It was so damn hot that I ended up shrinking like half my wardrobe… It still fit, but I suddenly had capris instead of pants that drag on the ground like I like ‘em.
4.) Easy street parking on this patch of Clement
5.) Nice, tall, large folding tables
6.) No nasty television blaring so you can’t focus on reading a good book while your duds spin
7.) Friendly service at the dry clean counter (which, the signs claim is a separate business, but I think that’s just so you can’t bug ‘em if a machine breaks while they’re in the middle of their business day)
8.) GREAT prices on the washers and dryers
9.) Seating provided for while you wait
10.) Community posting board with an interesting array of ads («join an improv comedy troupe!» «go through the re-​birthing process with an integrated counselor of light and hope» «join the army»)
Here’s the 411:
CASH ONLY on the dry cleaning (obviously, cash only on the machine wash). If you do not have cash, you the closest ATM is one block east at the 7 – 11. The 7 – 11 ATM surcharges will screw you.
NO BATHROOM — okay, cool, but sometimes laundry can take hours. I don’t know of any laundrette that has a bathroom, except Brainwash, but that’s because they also serve food.
Gotta go? Crossing your legs during the final cycle? No problem. Go out the door, turn right and go about 4 doors down to the french café. They’re nice. The service is french, so buy something after you use the can, otherwise it could take awhile to get your bagel and by then, maybe your bladder will have burst.

Gotta say that the cleaners here are just inconsistent. I’ve taken a pair of pants in there and pointed out a stain and they come back with the stain still there. I think well, it can’t be removed. Then I take them again and the damn stain is gone! Go figure! Did they do a half assed job the first time or miss it? Dunno but it isn’t my fave place just the nearest place.
