Circle Wash

This is a long overdue review for circle wash. I have been getting my laundry washed here for the past year– every other week. The wash, dry and fold is AMAZING. My laundry always comes back super clean, folded and sorted. The owner takes great care in air drying my laundry that I ask her to and alway remember what pieces I prefer air dried. My boyfriends work shirts are always pressed and folded perfectly. My scrubs come back SO clean. I could not recommend this place enough!

I have no idea why this place has such low ratings on Unilocal.If you are coming here during the day time, you only have an hour to do your laundry for washing and drying combined. If you are planning on taking longer, I would suggest you come after 6. I spent 2.50 a washer, for two. One I used for my darks, the other, my lights, and delicates. It did the job no problem. but that was like half an hour. and I had to spend the other portion figuring out how to use the dryer. Since I had spent so much of my time learning how to use the washer, I couldn’t give my clothes enough time in the dryer and had to come back again today. I think I spent $ 2 for two dryers at $.25 for 6 minutes. And now they are FINALLY dry. I will give the hour in the day time at this laundromat another shot, otherwise I have to try after 6 like everyone else. But overall, I love coming here to do laundry thus far.

The lady does my laundry for me here and she is very great. The machines are pretty clean compared to others. My laundry is always folded and washed neatly and so I always come back.

Honestly, I wouldn’t have given them any stars at this point but Unilocal wouldn’t allow me to write a review without one, so whatever.
Case in point: my boyfriend and I were there this afternoon to do our laundry. Considering that it was Saturday, there were still a lot of open washers to use. We placed our laundry inside 2 large washers and 1 small one. We left it there to get something from Safeway six blocks away. When we got back, 2 mins after the 2 large washers’ timer went off, we found our laundry out of the washers and placed inside two laundry carts. The store’s manager (if you can even call her that) said that she took them out because another person wanted to use the washers that had our clothes in them. While our laundry inside the small washer was completely intact, untouched inside.
The manager said that she took it out because our 30 minutes was up (by two minutes!!) and someone else wanted to use the washers. Let me remind you all: THERE WERE A SHITTON OF UNUSED WASHERS THAT THESE OTHER PEOPLE COULD’VE USED BUT THEY INSISTED ON USING THE ONES WITH OUR CLOTHES INSIDE. AND THE MANAGER LET THEM. I mean, what kind of bullshit is that?! Now, I don’t want to play the «race card» here, but they were both speaking in Chinese literally mere seconds after I confronted the manager (I can only assume that they were talking about this incident) and because they «understand» each other, she prefers their business over ours. WHAT KIND OF A «PUBLIC LAUNDRYMAT» IS THIS?! I confronted her again and asked for their policy handbook because she insisted that they can do whatever they want with our stuff because it’s public laundry, but she was unable to come up with a handbook or even a sign that says so.
I come here to do my laundry because it’s the closest one to my house and I haven’t had this problem before, but honestly I wouldn’t come back here again. And if you don’t want to feel like your privacy has been violated, then you shouldn’t come here either.

These place sucks, I put regular detergent when I load my clothes, and at the very end, the machine stopped working, and the door is locked, I can. Not open it to get my clothes out, I asked for help, the lady told me that I put too much detergent, and I have to wash it again, after that she left, so I have to put another 4 bucks to rewash it.
it sucks totally, please do not come here.

This place is terrible. A lot of the dryers don’t even run hot (I’m talking about you #53). I told the lady that worked there in the back, but she wouldn’t believe me (like I would try to rob her of a few quarters on a Saturday afternoon… seriously I wasn’t). I took my clothes out and moved them to another machine and put in more quarters which luckily ran warmer (I interviewed another customer.). She tested #53 which still didn’t run warm although she said it’s fine (she must have snake blood running through her veins which might explain a few things). I took care of my stuff and got out of there. I haven’t been back since after going there for a few years.
Another annoying thing about the joint is how some customers hog the laundry carts even when they’re not moving laundry around like they own the carts. Who does that? Let people that need the carts use them. The business should post signs about this type of behavior and that you can’t hold carts like some folks do, but they don’t do crap. It’s not all their fault. You would think you wouldn’t have to tell people to be selfish idiots, but we’re shooting too high apparently.
They had absolutely terrible customer service and should’ve offered me an apology and a few quarters so I could be on my way and come back in the future. Instead, she was offended. I hope she’s not the owner, because that’s not how you a run business. The Sunset has plenty of laundromats (thank you Unilocal) and I was able to find one closer to me with new machines and free wifi.
Don’t settle for this crap. You can do better. Find another laundromat.

Damn… 16 bucks to wash a a few blankets and I jammed one of the newer machines. Ah well. They are Tide smelly fresh now.
It’s conveniently close to House of Coffee which is across the street and Menkee Wonton house which is across the street too. It’s obvious when I’m washing my blankies, I’m also pigging out with my take out of wonton noodle soup and cup of coffee. My piggy problems get to me.

Went here on a Wednesday evening to wash a load of blankets and a load of colors. Parking wasn’t a problem, nor were the washers and dryers available. Depending on the washer you used, it can range from $ 2.25-$ 4.00 for a wash. The bigger and fanciers ones were obviously more expensive.
Dryers were $.25 per 7 minutes, and I got both large loads dry within 20 minutes or so, so start small in terms of drying and just add more as needed.
They have TVs and magazines to help you keep occupied, as well as a few shops you can go to, but my cousin and I just stayed at the Wash since many of the shops were closed by 6 or 7 pm. We finished our laundry by about 8pmish, so it took us about 1.5 hours to do 2 loads of wash each.
I would go here again! But i might explore and see what else is in the area as well.

This place is close to home and does the job for a reasonable price. It would be nice if they had more seating. There was a TV with remote but the remote didn’t work. The staff wasn’t very helpful but wasn’t necessarily rude either. It could be cleaner — I found two bugs and there was a lot of laundry soap powder all over the place.

Not a bad laundromat. One of the better ones in the sunset. It’s clean, plenty of new machines, some TV’s, and good counter space. Prices are in-​line with the rest of the city. About $ 2 or $ 2.50 for single/​double loads. I think the double load washers don’t use enough water though, which I think is kind of whack. Their larger washers work well and I use a 3-​load washer for $ 3.75 to wash all my warm colors. Dryers are 7 minutes $ 0.25. Place is on Noriega so if you want to get food or run some other errands you can. I even got a hair cut next door once while my clothes were in the dryer. There’s usually always an employee here keeping things clean and keeping an eye out on things. Only bad thing about this spot is that parking is only 1-​hour before 6pm and it can get crowded on the weekends.

It’s now $ 2.00÷28 minutes; and I think they decreased the amount of water per washing machine. Circle Wash… no…

i have a wedding to go to in about a week. so i was in desperate need to find a cheap dry cleaning place. i went to a couple places down on irving st but most places charged $ 9 and up for a short dress. this place was actually my last resort.
i like to do my laundry here and remembered they dry cleaned clothes. i never realized how cheap they were compared to 3 other places that i went to. even though the prices are pretty cheap, you dont get your clothes on the same day. i dropped my dress off on tuesday and got it back friday. they actually send them off somewhere else. which was fine with me since i only payed $ 9 total.
now you know where i like to do my laundry. please dont stalk me. thanks. =)
***note to self***
jacket $ 5
dress $ 5+ short
dress $ 6.50+ long
blouse & skirt $ 3
coat $ 6.50
sweater $ 3

Up until a few months ago, this was a wonderful place to get laundry washed and folded. But since new owners have taken over, the quality has gone down. Recently they lost a bunch of our clothes and when approached on the subject they refused to believe let alone take responsibility for it.
I would absolutely choose another wash and fold if you care at all about your clothes.
