Garden Island Cleaners

We have a camp in Wayne, and I have been using this place every summer for years (even when they were next to Hannaford’s). LOVE it. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the place is always clean and bright. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

I almost didn’t go to Garden Island Cleaners because of the reviewer who had issues with the card. Knowing this, I had the woman working there guide me but I would have asked for help anyway as I was a laundry card newbie. I’m glad I did. The card use wasn’t very intuitive. I didn’t loose any $ from my card though. Enough on that subject.
I like Garden Island Cleaners for its laundry facility. The place has the feel of a professionally run franchise whose proprietors take good care of their business. The woman behind the counter was friendly and helpful. The machines did the job and did it fast. I ended up spending $ 10 for one medium and one large load of laundry (wash and dry).
I didn’t use the tanning service. I did see several customers pick up their things from the laundry service (mending, cleaning and folding among others) and all appeared to be happy repeat customers.
The waiting area was nice. It was a clean with a lived in feel and had lots of natural light that banished the sad tired feeling that is so often pervasive in your typical laundromat. I’ll certainly go again.

Sad to say there is a lot to like about Garden Island as a laundromat, but I have to give them a poor review for one reason: Poor technology for the cards used to buy time on the machines. Garden Island is clean, well laid out and reasonably comfortable. There are plenty of machines and they are well maintained. None of that is of any use if you lose money on your card on almost every visit. The cards use an exposed data chip that is very fragile and I have had to replace mine three times in no more than 10 visits, each time losing money what was on the card. Even those times the card worked it had problems
