Village Laundry

THIS REVIEW IS FOR VILLAGE CLEANERS– attached to the laundromat.
Dry cleaning is great here. However, their alterations are the WORST. Had a $ 300 pair of slacks taken up at the hem and when I got them back, they were seriously uneven. They are going to fix them for free so that part is forgiven. The worse part is that the pants were brand new and had the tag from Bloomies on them when I dropped them off. Someone at the shop took the tag off and threw it away when they were doing alterations– on the hem of the pants. Not anywhere near the waist where the tag was. After I wore these pants, the knees in them lost their shape and I want to return them. Bloomies takes things back like forever for stuff like this. I can’t return them because I have no tags. When I took this up with the woman at the cleaners she just said, well no tags here now. She didn’t even apologize. Do not trust these people with your clothing.

Reading these other reviews and I can’t help but laugh at the idiots behind them.
Cheap washers, free dryers WITH WASH.
You can’t wash your clothes at home then come here to dry for free. I usually go late at night. Place is empty.
It’s a laundromat, not a club. Nothing super extravagant about it. It serves it’s purpose and that’s it.

Worst place ever! All I wanted was to dry my clothes and the idiot who was working there said I couldn’t that I had to wash them then dry them like I was stupid and didn’t know how to do laundry. I told him probably at least 7 times that I just wanted to dry that’s all. He opened my bag and touched my wet clothes with his gross hands, then said I had to pay, I thought to myself well duh, do you think I expected a free dry? I asked him how much? He took me back to his gross office to ask his manager how much, he came over looked at my normal sized bag and said, $ 3. I was in shook, really $ 3 just to dry, totally made that shit up cause he knew I was desperate and took advantage of me. What a fucking asshole, I have never felt so disrespected in my life. This place doesn’t deserve a star it deserves negative stars, I pray that this shithole goes out of business and that those two asshole men are broke for life.

The worst laundry, never come to this one.
The dryer work for only 10 min and then u have to turn it on again and again
So much pain

I usually dont use the dry cleaners but I accidentally spilled on my coat the other day. I was freaking out but I took it over to Village cleaners and the nice Korean lady took care of it for me and I had my coat back in good time and it was so clean. I know where to go for my future clothes that I may need dry cleaning needs for. The customer service was nice– the Korean owner was polite and did everything great. The price was reasonable.

I rounded up.
They technically deserve three and a half stars.
Why? Because I bring my own sanitizing wipes in order to ensure that cheeto stains (from the sticky fingered children which are allowed to run wild) don’t end up on my clean clothes while I fold them. It wouldn’t hut the owners to put up a sign that says no eating on counters — or one that says to control your kids. There are benches… eat on your lap.
Other than that it is a relatively clean place. And yay they got a new tv so there are two flat screens. There are also a lot of free dryers and a good number of vending machines for snacks. Their detergent/​softner/​bleach is also pretty cheap! Some places will over charge you for laundry products b/​c clearly you need them.
Also there’s a good range in prices for washers starting from $ 2.75. I can fit about two full loads in the $ 3.00 washers. One downside is that the dryers work in 10min intervals so you have to constantly mind them and hit start-​but at least they’re super hot-​my jeans dry in about 30mins.
I usually go between 5:30am and 7:30am during the week. It starts getting busy after 8am. I wouldn’t dare go in the evening. I made that mistake once and darn near got into with a lady who tried to hog two counters and all of the top dryers-​even though I was there first.
Their drycleaners are right next door-haven’t used it yet though.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR VILLAGE CLEANERS. Village Cleaners is attached to Village Laundry, about which — no comment.
Why on Earth would I or ANYONE ever do their own laundry? Why, when for a dollar a pound, you can have it washed, folded and then handed back to you a day later? Why drop another quarter in the machine in my building, when Sung and her people are so amazing and so inexpensive? Load up the bag, take it in, pick up the bag — DONE!
Ukrainian Village, Wicker Park, Bucktown: take your laundry here, and you will never do your own laundry again! These guys have made my life palpably better. Thank you, Sung!

So last week I died and went to hell. As I walked through the gates of hell in noticed the dirt and grime caked on floor and walls. Even though a guy walked around trying to clean the grime to no affect. Oh, he might have been Sisyphus, must have given up on pushing the boulder.
Hell was full of other souls forced to do manual labor for all of eternity, ladies, taken in the prime of their life, were forced to fold mounds of clothes, taking up every table in hell. Kids run around, riding in the laundry carts.
Luckily finding a washing machine was easy. I loaded up the washer and thought to myself, «you know, Hell’s not that bad. I can do this.» However there is always a catch. You see, Hell has free dryers. And every single dryer was taken up. As the ladies folded clothes, they would just restart the dryer every time it stops because they were not ready to fold the clothes in that dryer yet. After waiting, I finally found one open dryer and shoved 5 loads into the one dryer.
When the dryer finally finished my clothes, I noticed a way to escape hell, made my escape, and vowed never to return.

YIKES. Allow me to be brief with a pro and con list.
Pros:
–Free dryers
–Plenty of washers
–Change machines (sometimes working)
–Glee on the TV
–Tamale GUY!
Cons:
–Rude people using ALL the dryers
–Rude people using ALL the folding areas
–Plethora of children rubbing Cheeto-​stained fingers on everything
Truthfully, I may return here. But only because it’s within a stone’s throw from my apartment. Oh, and aside from this review, I blacked out about the experience, remembering only coming home with clean laundry, Glee being on the TV and the tamale guy.

First-​this place has a dry cleaners attached to a laundromat. I have not used the laundromat, only the dry cleaners.
This place is terrible. They have the worst customer service I have ever seen. They, or the company they outsource the cleaning to, ripped my shirt (both buttons on the collar we missing and there was a huge rip down the front of the shirt) and would not acknowledge that it was their mistake. After several minutes of arguing the manager finally agreed to give me a credit for future service. That’s great!!! Now I can have more shirts destroyed, but at least it won’t cost me anything.
Don’t go here.

They have an ATM here, but it has only worked ¹⁄₃ times I tried to use it.

Apparently, it takes Village Laundry to raise a child. There are hundreds of them here, roving in feral mobs, just waiting to throw something at you, scribble all over your sketchbook when you turn your back to put your laundry in the dryer, or just mow you down while running in circles.
If it weren’t for the free dry, proximity to my apartment, and the one time I went when they were playing Zoolander dubbed in Spanish, it would be one star. Never ever take your dry cleaning here. It’s a joke. They throw the plastic bag over it and never clean a thing.
Village Laundry is also one stop shopping for all of your used battery, tube sock, and queso fresco-​in-​a-​cooler needs. Just don’t piss off the old ladies using 8 different dryers, or you may never live to use those socks.
