Tessie’s Soap Box

Tessie’s is great! We’ve used them for drop-​off service a number of times and they do a wonderful job. This last time, I told Tessie that one of the shirts had bleach poured on it by accident and she said she’d look through the dirty laundry, take it out, rinse it in the sink to see if the bleach and colors ran, and then only add it to the laundry if they did not.
They did all of that and everything worked out very well. They even attached a note to the shirt after it was clean to describe what they did.
I’ll continue to use their drop-​off service for sure!

I’ve been using this laundromat on a regular basis for nearly 3 years. It’s a really nice local neighborhood spot.
The machines are cleaned on a regular basis, and they do touch ups throughout the day. I very rarely find drops of laundry detergent on the machine. They even insist that people don’t use the carts for their dirty laundry. They have baskets for sorting dirty items. This makes a lot of sense since you’d need to use the carts to wheel your clean, wet laundry to the dryers.
They have pretty good hours too — open at 7 am and last wash at 9 pm (closes at 10 pm). A few times, the employee working there couldn’t hide her disappointment when I came in with my laundry at 8:45. They didn’t say anything, but I could just tell. Unfortunately that’s sometimes the only time I can get my laundry done.
Otherwise, the employees there are pretty friendly and very helpful, especially when I need change for a $ 20 bill. They have change machines but it only gives quarters. They also sell detergent, softener, dryer sheets, and laundry bags. They have 2 vending machines with chips, cookies, sodas and other snacks. I’ve never used them though.
Plus, on a monthly basis, they offer fun specials that might make for a free wash or 20 minutes of free drying. Sometimes they raffle off items like a flat screen TV.
This laundromat is very small so I often try to go during off hours — really early or late on the weekends and around midday during the weekdays. One side is lined with washing machines (2 different sizes) and the other side is lined with dryers. Along the front they have benches while you wait. They offer free WIFI, coffee/​tea, and reading materials. They have several magazine titles that are restocked every month. I hate doing my laundry but at least I can catch up with my gossip mags!
Overall, this a nice, clean neighborhood laundromat. They’re slightly more expensive than the laundromats on Palisades Ave. but this location offers free WIFI, which can’t be beat.
