Laundromat in South Cedar Rapids: Clean Laundry on Kirkwood Blvd

The only problem is you can't get into the rest room.

Wonderful place very clean plus all new Dexter washers and dryers. The franchise owner must have spent a large amount of capital to buy top shelf equipment. The price and value is great. I wish they offered tide pods in a package to be offered in vending.
All the best.

Recently updated machines

Always clean

Good machines app to run them also works well

Really love the place. I used to go to the one on first Avenue before they shut down. There was this lady that worked there And she was always happy and friendly to talk to. I came to the Kirkwood location today saw her it. She remembered me and chatted with me for like five minutes. Great customer service 10/10

I read the previous good reviews& was pleased to find them true. Clean, working machines, some that could hold multiple loads. Thank you!

New machines since the last time I was there which was quite a while ago. Loved the washer and dryer will go there again and recommend the facility.

I was an out of State visitor trying to do laundry. Let me just say that this place is clean. I think the big dryers can be cheaper but well it’s what it is.

I went on Sunday July 9th, 2023. There was personnel in place cleaning the machines as people were using them. She was doing a good job, especially with the filters in the dryers. It is important that the filters in a public laundry facility be cleaned constantly; so good job on taking care of that detail.

The place was clean, the staff present that day was welcoming and helpful. She was dedicated to her job that's for sure.

Had trouble with a machine called number and she was very helpful ,

This is a good spot to do the weekly laundry. The down side is the bathrooms are always locked. I guess on the upside the bathrooms are probably clean....since nobody gets to use them. 🤣 Seriously though, you shouldn't own a business, if you're afraid of people using your facilities. It's inconvenient, and doesn't give off the safest vibe....kinda like driving through an area of town with bars on the windows. Also, there are quite a few TV's hung up.....that are never turned on. 😆

Google says it's open 24/7 but was locked up tight at 0445 and once it did open no access to the bathroom

I have been doing laundry here for about 2 years. It's usually pretty clean. Today I encountered cat hair left in the large washing machine which I'm allergic to. Most of the issue I have had are do to inconsiderate users not the staff. Occasionally machines are out of order but are tagged as such be sure to inspect them before putting coins in.

Good machines

There's no wash and fold service here . Place was packed when I came on Sunday. No machines available,

One of the more expensive laundromats in town, even compared to other clean laundry locations. Probably a quarter of the dryers don't work correctly, and there's a dollar minimum per dryer. You end up wasting a bunch of money, trying to find a dryer that works. The place is always, ALWAYS filthy on the weekends. On top of that, they lock the bathrooms and never have any paper towels.

On the plus side, they're 24/7, and the people who use it usually aren't dodgy.

Laundry services are good, but the fact that the restroom is locked up and no indication on how to obtain the code to use the restroom is trash.

Prices are high

I would not recommend doing laundry here. $15 hold on the app to use the machine on the app. Did it twice and it took my money twice but i could never get the machine to start. I just used my card to get the coins. The dryers after 50 minutes still had not dried my clothes. I had to split my clothes into 2 more dryers and put them all on for 25 minutes again. Thats crazy. I hope all of those $15 holds release back to my card. I chose to come here over the truckstop like i normally do. That will never happen again. This place is poorly managed. Fix all of the broken machines and figure out why these dryers don't get hot. Crazy they don't already know about this. I only gave it one star because the big machines did ok on the superwash. This area definitely could use some people who are serious about a high quality laundromat.

They need to fix their website. Clearly says "drop off and wash and fold services" and they dont offer any of that.

They in fact don't do drop off laundry services

Awful laundromat. Dirty, bathroom door it locked with no way to open it. The vending machine that sells the snacks, soap and dryer sheets apparently only takes bills $1 and $5 but hey let's not put a sign on the machine about that, let's just let people waste time with cards and touchless pay. Oh if you put coins in said machine it eats them and doesn't dispense anything. We tried using coins to get some soap and dryer sheets and it ate them and gave us nothing.

I was coming for about 2yrs and back then it was 4-5stars. However the last few times there’s been issues with coins stuck, being dirty, clothes getting stuck In the drum machine.

I wouldn’t be too upset as most laundromats are the same expectation. However this one they’ve raised prices and have an on person staff member that doesn’t do much. It takes 2hrs or more for the whole process. Washing is fast but the drying is so long. I have limited uniforms for work with no opportunities to get more due to the govt shutdown. I can’t risk coming to a place my clothes aren’t safe from being destroyed or not drying.

If the raised prices fixed the problems I’m okay with that, but paying more and having the same experiences of a place in the inner city isn’t right. I shouldn’t have to pick which machine has the least dirt In it or ponder if my clothes will be ripped or destroyed.

I have been coming to this laundromat for the better part of four years. It is advertised being able to have a load done in under an hour, and while it is super convenient compared to other options in the area, the quality and price are not adding up.

A couple of months ago they changed the dryers to having a one dollar minimum to start, and this would be all fine and dandy, except you waste your time AND money trying to find one that actually works. Not to mention it is still advertised on multiple dryers that you only need 25 cents to start them. They also have a no refund policy which makes it very inconvenient to even get your money back, if there’s even anyone working to begin with.

With that being said, the place is absolutely FILTHY!!! I would be okay with raising the prices if the place was actually clean and up to par with appliances. There’s is constantly soap buildup on the machines, cat litter and dirt in the floor, and just an overall griminess to the place recently. For the price I pay per week to do my laundry here, it should be clean and orderly. They had no problem doing that when it was cheaper.

Overall convenient for time spent there, but don’t expect anything else. Get it together please.

I’m very disappointed with how easy it is for someone to just break the coin insert part of these dryers… for context I went in the big washers were completely open and someone was emptying the big dryers. So I was using the big washers for my family. I waited approximately 5 minutes for the big dryer to get open after it was done running. It didn’t. I looked for a basket to be able to put the clean clothes from the dryer into- there were no baskets to put them in so I used the businesses baskets after making sure the clothes were completely dry. I leave to check on my kids with their babysitter and when I come back both dryers were open with my clothes spewing out, into the rolling baskets not even close to being dried. I had put the max amount of time on both dryer which is 60 minutes. Which was wasted due to another person being petty. No big deal there I was going to put them back in and start them. Got the one on the right started but the one on the left stole my money I put in and wouldn’t start. I see that it is pulled from the part of it- the panel that hides the wires is not attached to the dryer. So I can’t even
Use it. Switched it to a smaller dryer, hopefully it drys the clothes I have because I don’t have more money to spend past the extra $9 on top of the wasted approximately $10 from the initial dry time.

Went there this morning to do 2 loads of laundry and I was there for a little over 2 hours and while waiting for my close to dry total I had 2 cop's come up to me and ask me why I have been there for so long i said cause I'm doing my laundry and waiting for it to dry !! because apparently a staff member called them saying that I had been there for to long and I was told that I had to leave the laundry mat never new there was a time limit on doing laundry never going back after that

I wish I could give this place zero stars. I've never had a washer machine eat my money before but the machine here stole money from me. The phone number listed is bogus and nobody answers when you call for help.

The bathrooms are locked while unattended

Last year the whole of my laundry got stolen from this laundry, and they didn't do anything about it despite my complaints.

Used to use this place frequently but glad I don’t anymore. 24 hours but no one to call even during normal business hours if something goes wrong. They also lock the bathrooms while it’s not attended and not once have I seen an attendant here, so always locked. Place was dirty. Also prices have doubled since I started using them a few years ago. A little rediculous to pay $8 to wash a single sleeping bag.

Dryer 27 is burning clothes it gets to hot

Please don’t come here if you want “drop off service” because they don’t even though it says they do. It’s clean but that’s it! Oh and you better have coins or cash to get coins too. I guess they were empty for a reason.

Their 9 load washer has been broken for the past 3 months and i’ve been using the only other available one, today i went in and both are out of order. FIX UR WASHERS. not to mention, most who come here don’t have a ton of money to drop on the 6 load washers that don’t even fit that much and cost 9 dollars? I had to scrounge around my car to find a couple extra quarters to even afford to use two of the 6 load washers when all of my stuff would have fit in the 9 load. also, it’s dirty👎 Update: the dryers have been eating my coins for my past two visits. Last time I put $8.00 and it only dried for 3 mins and today i put $10 and it only dried them for 4 minutes and I can’t even get my money back. I’m wasting my money.
