Crystal Clean Laundry

This I my first time in Seattle. Travelling from Australia you definately need laundry. Yes te carpet is old and dirty but the people are nice, friendly and the place is reasonable and good. One tip there are two types of washers … Big and small… Make yr pick wisely: D

Utterly disgusting! And very scary I came here to do a big load of laundry half way threw this creepy guy comes in grunting, taking his shirt off then playing with his feet! It smelled up the hole laundrymatt there was mess all over! it just was not sanitized at all the smell was so strong and disturbing that it made me and 3 others leave. I called today to inform them of last night they gave me a attitude and couldn’t do anything for me. 50dollars wasted. They don’t even have cameras I would give this place zero stars If I could poor customer service unsanitary and very scary !!!

We use this laundromat regularly. It gets a lot of traffic so it does get kind of dirty and I do see the workers in there cleaning all the time too. There is a good variety of new washers. It’s much faster for us to use one large washer there and saves us a little money compared to the cost of the iffy washers at our apartments.

It’s dirty… the carpet is filthy and full of grime and stains. The dryers don’t dry very well — after an hour of tumbling on high heat, my clothes were still damp. One load cost $ 8 bucks and I left with damp clothes.

I have been coming here for 6 years. The machines are clean and the pricing is okay. The guy who works here cleans it really well everyday but because it is open when there is no one here it can get really messed up and people trash the place. I really despise the guy who works here. He is a mega douche. He gave my kid candy (with out asking me) and he told my wife (who is trying to grow out her hair) that she needs to «cut that» super rude! So we come after he leaves now.

After searching high and low for a good wash, dry and fold service at a reasonable price for my business I was so surprised that I ended up coming full circle to the Hill, where I lived many years ago. Laundry service is extremely important to my business– The Love Lab, where we teach Couples Massage classes. When our laundry service is of shoddy quality or sneaks in extra charges (scroll down to see a 1 star review with photos for a reference to HOW BAD laundry services can be) my business is in trouble. Yes, laundry is THAT important to us. Crystal Clean Laundry, while it may have it’s issues because of the local populace that hangs around, gets one thing right– laundry. It’s cleaned, dried, folded and returned to us as we request it to be AND we are billed a fair charge equal to other cities we do business in (after months of quotes three times as much as San Francisco and Beverly Hills — WTH?) and charged an HONEST amount (no padding the bill– WOW!). While this may seem like basic stuff, it means the world to us. We are so tired of dealing with businesses that lack integrity that we will continue to praise and support Crystal Clean Laundry as long as they continue to provide us this level of consistent service. Thank You Crystal Clean! (Now can you please find us a delivery service that isn’t flakey and greedy too?!)

I had a ton of laundry to do, so rather than using up the only 2 washers/​dryers in my apartment complex and spending hours and hours doing laundry, I searched for places nearby and found this dump.
Pros: newer washers and dryers, a variety of capacities for any laundry need you’d have.
Cons: FILTHY, Looks like the floor hadn’t been swept or vacuumed in months. There was trash everywhere. The only seating they have is a bench right by the window less than a feet from some washers, so you can bake in the hot sun while people try to squeeze by and wash clothes. Expensive to wash, at least more pricey than other places I’ve been to in seattle. No bathroom, and no public bathroom at the city market next door (they have one but it’s not even open to customers, as I went in there to buy a drink). Suuuuper sketchy patrons in the laundromat.
All in all I’m glad I got my boatload of laundry done in just over an hour, but I will never return here again.

This dump gets more disgusting every time I come in here. The dirtiest laundromat I’ve ever seen … Owned and operated by the person (s) who own City Market next door. You’ve seen my last quarter. I gave you one star for the mere fact that you pitifully exist.

Since I live within very comfortable walking distance, I’ve made a sincere effort to like this place. I’ve been here maybe two times that were tolerable. I’ll start with the positive: The machines are new, pretty nice and you have the choice between 20 — 50 gallon washers to handle pretty much anything you got. That’s it.
The negatives: Methed up vagrants darting in and out to the parking lot every five minutes while they pretend to wash a sweatshirt or pair of socks so the staff can’t tell them they’re loitering. Almost every time I’m here I feel like I ought to have a can of pepper spray and stand guard in front of my washer. I’m not very squeamish, nor am I apathetic. It is what is it is.
The bench in the corner is the only place to sit; it’s up against the window, small, uncomfortable as shit, and somehow reminds me of elementary school. If it’s full, or if you just don’t want to sit next to the person that’s there, then you are pretty much out of luck.
I think Sean V. was huffing something in the parking lot with the toothless piss lady that ultimately drove me to this review: «ok wht i love most is the common courtesy you get at crystal doing your laundry amongst strangers unlike yr…» It kind of reads like it.
Anyways, after yesterday I’m done with this place. I’d rather go through to hassle of driving my laundry up the hill then spend another minute sitting in Crystal Clean.

best kept secret in caphill its a little bit pricey but for the grief and wait you get in yr building 2 – 3 machine laundrymat well worth it new machines free plastic bags mon thru friday theres a attendant there very cool u cant drop off your stuff them pickup or do it yourself whatever works for ya. anyways free parking next to everything bars restys, starbux shops. grocery store/​etc, ok wht i love most is the common courtesy you get at crystal doing your laundry amongst strangers unlike yr building where u get the machine hogs and most of the times they remove your stuff right after its done .also if they have free wifi and plugins a few so stopby and enjoy the this spot

Crystal Clean has been the token nearby laundromat down the street from me since I started living on Capitol Hill. Having onsite laundry, I usually don’t need to use laundromats unless I have just an absolute buttload or if I have some awkward items that can’t be washed in traditionally sized machines. The past couple times I’ve been here has been for the latter reason: Crystal Clean is where I usually go for big and bulky items such as a big load of towels or when i wash my comforters and pillows. The smaller washers are a bit more expensive than most laundromats at 2.50 a load, but the 40 and 55 pound washing machines and dryers are pretty in touch with other laundromats I’ve been to: $ 5 for the 40 pound machine, $ 7 for the 55 pound machine, and dryers are 25 cents for 4 minutes or 6 minutes depending on which capacity you use. Having walked by here countless times, there are the occasional sketchy looking people hanging outside, but nobodies ever bothered me while I’ve been inside.

this place is disgusting. I just got back from a trip there. I’m staying in Seattle for 4 weeks and figured it would be cheaper to go down the street and do laundry rather than pay for it at the hotel.
This is one of the most disgusting facilities I have ever been to. Not only is there trash all over the floors, the seating area is unkempt as well. I feel like I have to take a shower after being there.
The actual washer/​dryers are alright. Not as nice as the ones I use at the place back home. It seems as if they got the job done though. One thing I did like is that they sold 1 wash detergent packets for $ 1.

Called in to see if they had a drop off service, and it was like they didn’t want any business. Basically it went, «Do you have a drop off service?»
«You’re not going to get it today because I’m off at 7 and we’re closed on the weekends.»
«Okay, how about during the week?»
«Monday to Friday 9−5″ (or whatever time she actually said)
„do you do _​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​?“
„Nope“
“Okay, thanks…»

If you don’t want my business then I will happily oblige.

I was on my last clean pair of underwear when the washer in my building broke. Perfect. I remembered Crystal Clean (oh, it has a name?) from my walks to work and made haste in getting there.
THEY HAVE FREE PARKING. Yep. There’s a little lot right beside the laundry that is never more than half-​full. I’m sure many people just schlep their laundry down the street to this place, but I drove because I had a ton of laundry and it’s not exactly down the street for me. So the parking is a huge bonus.
The machines here are kinda pricey. I end up dropping $ 15 or so to do 2 loads of laundry. But I guess for a clean place where I can wash my clothes in well-​maintained machines, that’s not a terrible price.
Side note: the second time I did my laundry here, a guy came in looking all over for empty plastic bottles. In his hand he had a mostly-​full bottle of what was very obviously urine (his, I hope). I wondered if he had stopped himself mid-​relief for fear of overflowing his bottle. Sadly, I did not have the wherewithal to ask.
In any case, Crystal Clean is a nice place to do your laundry if you’re in need. But if you’re looking for plastic bottles to pee into, you’re likely to be disappointed.

If you want something done right, don’t pay a hipster to do it…
I dropped off five bags of clothing to be «professionally laundered». I sorted everything for them within the bags so all they had to do was put them in the machine, add soap, and press start. However, some brainiac thought it would be a great idea to put my white clothing in with my orange sheets, which ruined them.
When I went to pick up my items the staff was no where to be found. I had to wait 20 minutes before going next door and asking for help. The hipster woman who was supposed to be attending the laundromat did not offer any apologies for me having to wait. In fact, she did not say a word — just plopped my bags on the table and pushed them toward me. I said, «are you sure this is all of it?» as it looked a bit less than what I’d dropped off. She said yes without even looking for other items she may have forgotten.
When I got home, just as suspected, I was missing at least two sets of sheets. I called the store and reported this and they said they would have them next door waiting for me. When I arrived to pick them up, the same hipster woman looked at me, grabbed the items and pushed them toward me and turned around to finish whatever hip craft she was working on without saying one word to me. Nice gal.
A week later, I have discovered that I am still missing items, very valuable items that cannot be easily/​cheaply replaced. This has become such a hassle! I will never order the full service laundry from Crystal Clean again. Lesson learned.

I read the reviews from others before considering Crystal Clean. Work/​Life is busy. This is minutes from my house; on the way home in fact. Park in the free parking, walk in, drop off, pick up your claim check. Expectations are clearly set when the laundry will be done. Swing back by on the way home the next day (or same depending on drop off time) and you’ve got your laundry. Folded neatly, clean, perfect. Love this place and the service, would recommend in a moment.

Go here because it is down the street from my apartment. I like the quality of the machines. They are great and better pricing then most apartment laundry rooms. I do wish they were open later. But we all know the freaks come out at night.

Easy to find. Sunday morning was not busy at opening time. Got it done while «enjoying» a pre-​made sausage and cheese croissant and cherry coke zero. Could be cleaner and earn another star. Grocery next door owned by same folks.

I only go here because it is super close to home and I can get all of my laundry done in 1 ½ hrs. That’s the only good thing about this place. Literally half of their machines do not work. Take a look and you’ll see «out of order» signs all over the place. The attendants that work there seem like they hate life or maybe just their own. I’m not there for customer service but they can be pretty rude to their customers. Also, there have been a few times when druggies have come in and asked me for cash.
So it is a shady joint and again the only reason I go there is because it’s close to my home. Oh but I am leaving out one big plus and that is they have free parking for customers.
