SHORT REVIEW:
PROS: good parking, lots of laundry carts, safe and clean, large laundromat, new machines, fast dryers, community room aka «red room», laundry cards, decent wifi, lots of table space, ample seating, near by shops and grocery store, vending machines, friendly and helpful attendant, good vibe, business that cares about the communuty it serves
CONS: laundry cards. Not very «clasica» cause sometimes OG laundry people like coins but then the «clasica» movie posters on the wall cancel the laundry card con.
LONG ASS REVIEW:
I needed to wash my clothes and this place was recommended. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled up because there was primo parking in a few areas right in front of the establishment. Yay! Like who wants to carry a semi transparent bag with their bras and chonies clearly visible for everyone to see, any longer then they have to… NOT the case here. Parking is a huge deal for me and this place has good parking.
Another big thing for me is fast and safe. I want to get in and out as fast as I can when I go to the laundromat. I also have trust issues with machines washing my clothes. The bulk of my laundry consisted of cute uniforms with lots of tags and pockets that I need intact. This place again scored huge points for having fast washing machines that are safe for my apparel cause the machines are brand spanking new, «new» as in:
1. no machine doors sticking or misaligned when I try to close it and me worrying if my clothes are gonna get torn up cause I didn’t bang the door hard enough to hear that click… you feel me right?
2. there are no dents, scratches, scuff marks or mildew smell in the drum. Buttery smooth stainless.
3. the machines aren’t sticky yucky on top where you put the soap and softner in cause that’s just freakin gross.
The new LG washing machines are super clean and awesome.
The card system makes it super fast getting organized. You just slide at least a $ 10 bill in the machine and poof your laundry card spits out. The card machine is located on the left side of the wall near the entrance. Take your card to your designated machine and slide it in. Kinda makes you feel like a baller cause you ain’t standing there counting quarters. Score again for making me feel VIP with a back stage pass. Oh and the wash cycles timer really ended when it showed it would end on the display. Another score Lavanderia Clasica!
Now on to the dryers. Staring at rows and rows of huge clean empty dryers started worrying me. I really liked this place thus far and if the dryers were gonna rip me off, taking more then an hour to dry my clothes. well that’s a deal breaker LC. But again Lavanderia Clasica scored in that area too. My clothes dried in 1 and ½ cycles on medium heat. Dude! what laundromat dryer does that? Freakin magical! Dry clothes in 18 minutes. Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus and his elves live in the machines at Lavanderia Clasica. Trust!
Seriously this place is awesome. GO HERE PEOPLE! The price to wash is reasonable. The attendant was very nice and helpful. She was either cleaning a machine or helping someone every time I turned around. I was there on a Wednesday at 11:30AM and though busy I had my pick of machines. There is a community room and a calendar with a very interesting list of scheduled activities that I would probably attend if I didn’t work nights. A massage chair to get your semi– spa on, very cool btw. There are a few vending machines. 4 freaking huge ass washers that you can wash a FIAT in but i am almost positive they are for thick blankets and such. The laundromat it self has a good feel to it with cool posters of old Hispanic movies on the wall. Also has a drop off laundry shop in the corner that sells stuff to you for you to give back to the community room. Help LC help you kinda thing, I like that! I would drive here again to do laundry Fo Sho! Final score Lavanderia Clasica 5 stars

I came here today to wash my clothes. This place is nice size and has brand-​new washers. I like the way they wash my clothes. I also like the size of the dryers they get very hot so my clothes dry quickly. Place is clean and inviting. Will definitely come back.

I wish I could rate this place zero stars. Signs clearly state it closes at 11pm and when I arrived at 10 I was told I can’t even use the dryer to dry my clothes which take 30 mins to dry.

This is an awesome place to do clothes! The new machines are great! The free wifi is always good! Nicest cleanest place in town. Kudos to management/​owner! Will definitely be back here a plethora of times!

I’m from Santa Clarita but I was in Van Nuys for the holidays and had to do laundry. I came across Lavanderia CIasica and have never been so impressed by a laundry mat before!!! It was so clean, they had great machines, and the staff was so friendly and helpful! They even had raffles and free classes for adults and kids! They were teaching English when I was there. This is such a great idea and a wonderful place! I will definitely be coming back when I’m in town!

This place is great. The place is clean, they just got new machines, the staff is friendly, and the owners/​management seem to care about improving the community.

I have been working with Laundry equipment for more than 20 years and have been traveling across the country for a few years and have never seen a concept like these .
A business that gives back to the community services to improve the Life of the customers WOW !!! There are still good people in this planet .
A big applause for the owner and the personal that work there. YOU are the best place to do laundry, just because you CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE, instead of filling the space with candy machines and so many other «tragamonedas» you decided to take care of your customers at the Red Room .
Bravo !!!

I’m so grateful for this place. Finally a laundromat that cares about its customers and gives back to the community. I’m so used to dive laundromats that are dirty and straight up sketchy to sit in. But here I feel so safe and cared for. The vibe is totally different. They have really upgraded the place and the new owner is super nice. She really cares about the customers. They have free classes for the community so you don’t have to be bored anymore. I went to the health and nutrition class on Tuesday and it was great information. It was fun and inspiring. The teachers all volunteer their time to help the community. I wish more laundromats are like this one. I will definitely be back next week for more laundry and more classes. Thank you Lavanderia Clasica.

Well what can I say this place was my favorite but not any more prices when up they change all the employee’s and one of the employee she wears see through leggings I could see her thong/​underwear another thing this place is always dirty and the new ladies are rude not like the employee from years ago really friendly I been coming to this laundry for 8 years and now I need to look for another laundromat

Used to love this place but lately ive realized that you can not do laundry til after 8 or 9 unless you wanna take it home wet. You may get a washer, but you will not get a dryer. One family will use a whole wall of dryers and you are shit out of luck.
Other than that, its big and clean and has new washers.

Oh man I love this laundromat. Always clean and feels safer than other places. And the best part is you do not need coins. You can just bring cash or even credit card. I like to come to use the super large machines. They hold a lot of stuff and they are good for washing my comforters. The new owner is really taking the time to put money back into the place and you can see the difference. Much appreciated.

New to the area and I was very impressed with Lavanderia Clasica!!! It’s a card store, so that made it even easier. No coins to carry!!! I can even add money to my laundry card with my credit card!!! No need to go next door to the ATM and get cash!!!
They have these new machines, LG, the Grey ones, that I used. The manager, Btw she is so cute, told me I can use less soap. I did and the clothes came out clean! I also used a bigger machine for my blankets.
Lastly, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen this, besides snacks, TV and drop off service, they have a «class room» (no joke! It looks like a classroom!!!) so the kids can study, color or watch a kids movie. I saw a few flyers and they have different classes for adults and kids. An ESL (English class for Spanish speaking people) class!!! I mean, where do you see that?!
Bottom line, I was very impressed, new machines, card store .NO MORE COINS, class room for the kids — no kids running around and parents don’t have to worry about them as much, a very helpful staff and lastly a very clean store!!!
There are other laundromats near me, but this one is by far the best.

This used to be a good place. Its always 100 degrees inside, restroom is average at best, and 30% of all the machines are broken and have been for a while. Vending machines always OOO, as is card machine. Attendant’s are nice, but this will be my last visit here. Its close but I’d rather drive to someplace cleaner with working machines.

You are 100% true to your word. This place is 150% better. I love coming in and seeing reinvestment in not only a needed public business but the community as well. I have seen you work very hard to get this right and you are killing it. The place is clean, has good hard working attendants, and the machines WORK. And that’s just the business and of things. The kids room/​community room, really speaks to how much you are ahead of the curve. Keep it up and great job. Thank you.

I don’t normally do reviews dorm Unilocal but love this laundry mat. Everytime come here there are plenty of open washes and dryers to use. The place is kept neat and clean, including the restrooms unlike a few of them they do not charge you a quarter to use the restroom. There is Ac so it doesn’t get overly hot. The machines are on a card system however you can use a credit card to load them. They offer wash and fold service as well as wifi and my favorite is there is a nail salon (reasonably priced) next door. All in all its not a bad place to spend a couple hours if you need to do laundry. Btw all the dryers are usually set on low so make sure to check the setting when drying.

I’ve been going to the Van Nuys laundry for a few years now. It used to be really good. Lately I see more and more machines broken down each time I’ve come to do laundry. The place has fallen in to disrepair. If I were the owner I’d be embarrassed of the condition of the place. It seems like he’s given up on the business.

Great place worth going a few extra blocks too. Lots of washer options, good prices, safe and busy center. It can get busy, do t come on a holiday there are plenty of other times to come where you can have all the space and parking right in front!

I’ve came here a few times for laundry (mostly the chunkier stuff… sheets, comforters and towels). I like this place because it is big, spacious, and very very clean. There’s usually no wait to use anything.
I always use the 3 load machine. However, I don’t really think those machines are really 3 loads. They are more like two loads. The wash machines usually work fine. I never had issues with them.
However… I really don’t like the dryers they have. I’m not sure if I just don’t go to those laundry places enough or the machines are broken. but my stuff takes forever to dry! I put in 4 towels in the biggest machine, and after 3 dries (almost 40 min). all the towels are still wet. So I had to split them up and put 2 towels each in the big ones and dry two more times before they are dried. I also tried drying jeans. but that doesn’t really work.
