| - So, my comforter needed to be cleaned. I have a washer and dryer in my apartment, but the comforter I have is huge and bulky. When I have to wash stuff like this, I usually take it to the laundry mat since it's way easier to get it clean then me trying to stuff it in my washing machine and having it come out all mangled. I prefer to have it done in one of the larger machines since it comes out cleaner and it dries a heck of a lot better then in my washer and dryer at home.
I haven't been to this location since I first moved into my apartment a couple months ago when I was doing a lot of cleaning and unpacking around the time that I moved. I usually average going to the laundry mat about twice a year now to clean big ticket items that don't work at home. So, off I came this morning in the rain with my beloved comforter!
This place is a card based system. I don't like the card systems because they are only good for that specific location (obviously) and the card always always always ends up with a balance no matter how you cut it. If you lose the card, you lose the balance you have on it, so you end up having to get a new card when you go in. I prefer dumping quarters in myself, but hey, that's just me.
This place isn't glamorous by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know what it is with Phoenix and laundry mat's, but I have yet to find one that is really nice and clean! This one is no exception. I mean, its not the dirtiest one I've been too, but it definately is in need of some attention. Broken tiles on the floor, the bathroom is horrible, and it looks like the place just isn't kept up. I know, I know, if they keep it clean and pretty then laundry costs more, bla bla bla, but c'mon! Take care of your stuff man! ugh!
They do sell laundry detergent here, full size bags and small individual packs as well. Since I have a huge Costco detergent thing at home, I don't drag it in for one load since it's to heavy. I buy the single pack of power detergent here for a $1 and use that for whatever I happen to be washing (rugs, comforters, etc.) They used to have a machine on the wall that you can put coins into and buy them, but I guess it's broken so you have to purchase it from the attendant! They also have a bill changer here, but I don't trust it, so I bring my own singles and fives when I'm coming here to load my card with money.
The washers and dryers here work just fine. I was in and out in an hours time, and that's awesome. It only cost me a couple bucks to wash my comforter, so I'm all set now.
Just don't go here expecting it to be visually fabulous. I wish the laundrymats here were in better shape, but hey, I guess its not a big thing so I am over it. Will be back probably in 6 months time to wash more stuff that I can't do at home!
