Sparkling Coin Laundry

Did they remodel since I was last here? The tables along the walls are divided like study desks and there is a really long powerstrip available for plugging in your electronics. It’s still impressively clean here as it was when I first visited. They also have WiFi (just ask the attendant for the password).
Also, thank goodness this laundromat opens until midnight. So convenient! The parking lot outside is super sketch but I never thought I’d feel decently safe in a laundromat in the late hours. I highly, highly recommend this laundromat to others.
Furthermore, I used a large washer and it only cost me $ 3. I usually pay $ 4 at other places.

I have washing/​drying machines in my apartment complex but if I want to do many loads at once, I always come Sparkling. I don’t usually post reviews, but I have to say that this place is great! Friendly service, clean, many machines, free wifi and plug outlets. If you’re looking for a place to do you laundry, I highly recommend this place.

I’ve been coming weekly to Sparkling Coin for over a year now, and I must say it’s the best laundromat around. The staff are very helpful and friendly. If there are any issues, like the coin machine not working (which is rare), they fix it fast. The owner often comes around distributing raffle tickets for their drawings (but you’re not obligated to participate, if you don’t want to give out your phone number or email).
Pricing I think is pretty standard: $ 3 for single load, $ 4.50 for double, $ 5.50 for triple. Single load machines wash in about 35 – 40 minutes. Double and triple are faster, done in 20 minutes. Dryers are $ 0.25 for 8 minutes. They are big, so a single load can be done in 24 minutes ($ 0.75).
A couple important tips I’ve picked up:
— They have free wifi. They used to post the password on a sign, but as of mid-​Nov you’ll have the ask the attendant.
— They have about 8 – 10 stools for seating and counter space. There are a couple power strips to charge your phone/​laptop.
— Do not park on Westgate after 6pm on weeknights or all-​day weekends or you will get ticketed (they’ve posted signs to warn customers). Just park in the plaza’s parking lot. It typically has spaces during the day, but can fill up on weeknights FYI.

Clean machines, fast and hot dryers and a staff that attends to the machines and keep things flowing makes this a great spot for laundry. There is a big machine that washes in 19 minutes so if you time it right, you can be in and out within an hour. How can you beat that?

*Fluff and Fold*
I have been coming here for almost two years. They take great care of my clothes and offer me same day service for no extra charge (not sure if it’s because I’m a regular but hey I will take it!). The attendants are nice, professional, and treat me like I’m family. A lot of places it is hard to find out who even works there but these guys have uniforms and actually greet you when you walk in. I have fragrance allergies so I provide my own detergent which they keep in the back for me. There was one morning when I forgot my wallet at home but they were really nice about it and still let me pick up my clothes. Honestly they are the best fluff and fold around and the friendly attendants keep regular customers like me coming back. Don’t forget to leave a tip!

I’ve been coming here for over a year. Today I used two of the laundry machines, put in equal amounts of soap in each. One of them clearly was not taking my soap. After 5 minutes waiting for the soap to show up, I asked one of the employees. He accused me of putting the soap in the wrong washer, said my other load had more clothes (not true), and straight up said it wasn’t the machine and the machine was working fine. He stopped it and watched me as I put more soap in. After a few minutes, still no soap came out. He said, «Well there’s a little soap. You just have to wait for it to finish» and walked away. Never once apologized! I won’t be coming back and will tell others not to come here.

I used to do laundry in my apartment complex, but the washers and dryers here are amazing. There are also multiple people on-​site to help (and provide the washnfold service)-all are very friendly. They have multiple tvs, a bicycle raffle for washing there, a bathroom and it’s nicely ac’ed, especially for a laundromat. Really love doing laundry at this place!

Easy, clean laundromat. Parking in front and also 2 hr street parking on surrounding streets. Plenty of washers and dryers. Talked to the owner and he was so nice! Employees were all very helpful as well. Only place I’ll take my laundry!!!

I only come here where I need one of those jumbo washers for the mattress pad, blankets etc… This place is clean when I’ve been here and there’s someone to answer your question should you have one. The parking is iffy. There’s a small parking lot but I’ve noticed the people who frequent this mini mart shopping center are very rude parkers — at least when I’ve been there. I’ve been blocked in and parked on top of where I couldn’t even open my door to get in my car. I had to climb over from the passenger side; so just try to keep that in mind as you park.
My only critique of this laundry mat is very little seating. It would be nice if there was a bench outside the door and perhaps one along the side where they store the items that are waiting for pick up; if you use them to do your laundry for you. I have a bad knee and had to stand the entire time and now that I’m home I cannot move. Oh and I think it is expensive but I have nothing to compare that to. Maybe all laundry mats are these days. $ 6.75 for the jumbo/​super load washer. Luckily I don’t have to go that often!

I would give it a 5 it was not cash only. It’s a little pricey but at least they got wifi and it doesn’t take that long to do laundry there

I’ve been coming to this wonderful establishment for so many years and NOT one time have I ever been disappointed!!! :)
The machines always work, the facility is always clean and spotless… and there’s not enough kind words to describe the wonderful owners and staff… truly incredible people!!! It feels more like a family environment than just a business and this is why I have continued to support this AWSOME laundry facility!!!
Since I don’t have a washer /​dryer at home, this is the next best place to be!!!
Thank you so much Tony, Stewart & Gary for always being so helpful, respectful and true professionals!!!
You’re the BEST!!!

When it comes to locally-​owned laundrymats, the principals behind Sparkling Coin Laundry exemplify the concept of «Pride of Ownership» at its ultimate definition of the terms. In the most basic kind of terms, Sparkling Coin Laundry is one of the cleanest, best-​equipped and CONVENIENT places for washing, drying and folding your clothes.
When it comes to the «pillars» of Sparkling Coin Laundry, though, it is the brothers who run the business — Gary, Stewart and Mitchell — they are three of the most committed to service of their customers I’ve ever seen the coin laundry business. I say this because every week my wife and I come in, the accommodations at this laundry are always «sparkling» clean, comfortable and all of their washers and driers were recently (within the last two years they «changed out» every machine as part of a new reinvestment on the original property!) — in other words, EVERYTHING is about being one of the most modern, efficient and well-​kept laundrymats in the West Los Angeles area.
The other major «pillar» of Sparkling Coin Laundry is Anthony, who is the day-​to-​day, hour-​by-​hour tireless supervisor always seemingly at customers’ disposal who is constantly/​tirelessly working by the backroom area… always working on larger commercial accounts… he is the best «folder» we’ve ever seen in the laundry business.
One other great PERSONAL TOUCH that Sparkling Coin Laundry’s management/​ownership adds to the mix is them often leaving baskets of FREE potato chips/​corn chips and passing out RAFFLE tickets to win new bicycles — how cool is that!!! Truly, if you have a need to do your laundry in the West L.A./Pico/Bundy area, you should pay a visit to really just at first sample and behold the «personalized attention» and CARE they put into Sparkling Coin Laundry is TOP FLIGHT all the way!

Staffs are very nice and helpful. There are multiple types of washers and dryers for you to use for various load purpose (single/​double/​triple). Price are reasonable and affordable. Double loads are $ 3.75 and triple loads are $ 4.75. There’s also a fancier LG single load for $ 3. I used the extra large front load washer and it’s $ 5.75. Dryers are either $ 0.25 per 8 minutes or $ 0.25 per 6 minutes, depends on the size of the dryer. I guess I’m going to abandon my apartment’s top load washer now and will switch to front load washers here.
P.S I would also give a plus for this place for its free wifi.

I’m always iffy about doing laundry at a laundromat, because of how dirty they usually are, but Sparkling Coin Laundry is awesome!
Super clean — check!
Nice, friendly, helpful staff — check! (Esp the owner who hands out Fritos)
Plenty of machines — check!
Seriously, I love the fact that I can do a month’s load of laundry in one machine. It’s a huge machine that can fit up to five loads. But you know, if you aren’t lazy like me and do laundry every week, there are also smaller machines that take 1 load, 2 loads, etc. The washers are newer than the dryers, from what I remember, but I haven’t had an issue with anything.
Actually, scratch that. ⁴⁄₅ stars just because parking is a pain. The lot is tiny, and parking can be hard to find during the day when other stores in the plaza are open. Other than that though, I love this place. :)
You pay with coins here, not the pre-​loaded cards, but there’s a change machine so just make sure you bring cash! There are also pick up services, although I don’t have any personal experience with it.

I came to this laundromat during the morning on a weekday, there were plenty f machines available for use! I love that they have different size machines depending on how much you need to wash. Five loads of laundry in one machine, YES PLEASE! What an amazing time saver. I will definitely be coming back.
Also great customer service, they were helpful in explaining about the various machines and how to use them.

I just love this place. When I first moved to LA (a few months ago) I had to start going to the laundromat because my apartment does not have in-​house washers/​dryers like I’ve been used to having my whole life. So, finding this place was surely a plus. The owner and workers are ALWAYS very nice to my family. They don’t just ignore you and treat you like a stranger — they actually speak!
The place is super clean and has up-​to-​date machines. I never spend more than an hour washing at this facility. The large loaders (which I have never had any problem getting access to) washes at least 3 loads of my clothes at once. This not only saves money, but also time. It can get a little crowded in here if you come on a weekend or at times when people are getting off of work. But, luckily my schedule allows for me to make it during the early morning hours when there are no more than 4 – 5 people at a time.
I also like that they do bike raffles here because it allows the owner/​workers to further engage with patrons. You’re usually given entry tickets based on the number of loads you’ve used. Although, he almost always throws in a few more. Since coming here I have also received a complimentary laundry carrier — and boy this couldn’t have come at a more perfect time lol.
Needless to say, again, but this place is great!

I’ve only been to a couple different laundromats in the area and this one is definitely my favorite. They recently installed all new machines and most of them hold multiple loads of clothes. I’ve found that the best times to go are weekday evenings– I’ve never had to wait for a machine at those hours. Going on a weekend at any time is a nightmare unless you show up shortly after they open or really close to closing hour. If you go on a Saturday or Sunday, prepare yourself to be there twice as long as you intend to.
The washing machines are a bit expensive (ranging from anywhere between $ 2ish to $ 6ish); however, they hold multiple loads, which is a pretty good deal considering I can skip going for weeks, just use a couple machines and be done with it. The dryers are cheap and quick, costing a quarter for 8 minutes of dry time. They’re pretty awesome as long as you don’t overload them, in which case you might be there for over a half hour waiting for things to dry. I generally am in and out of here in about one hour having spent less than $ 10 and done two weeks’ worth of laundry.
There are a couple TVs inside and they do have free wifi, so it’s definitely easy to keep yourself entertained while your laundry is going. The restroom is sometimes dirty but hey, at least they have one. With that said, the rest of the laundromat is pretty spotless. The staff is extremely friendly and always there to help you. They also offer free snacks!!! WHATT?! Five Sparking Stars for being so awesome. They raffle off a bicycle every few months, and you can enter once for every load of laundry you do.

Stopped by this laundry mat for the first time around 630 pm on a Sunday night to quickly wash several loads before dinner. I have a coin washer and dryer at my apartment complex, but with so many loads I figured I would try this place out.
First off, the good: the free wifi was a deciding factor in choosing this place, as well as the Sunday night football game. The establishment was full of people, but there were plenty of washers and dryers available. Some of the washers could even take a triple load. All machines were clean, and in case you forgot to bring your quarters, there is an ATM at the convenience store next door.
Now the bad: The washers were more expensive than I am use to. Single loads were $ 2.75 each, and the Triple washing machine was about $ 4.75 per load. I’m use to $ 1.25-$ 1.50 for single loads, so this was a sticker shock to me.
Overall, if you have the money, it is a good place to get your laundry done. Due to the price, I think I will only stop by in case of emergency and use the single washer at my place instead.

I don’t really enjoy having to go to the laundromat but when I do, I choose this place. It is everything that other Unilocalers have said about. The staff are wonderful. It’s clean and there’s free wi-​FI. They have adequate sized washers and fast dryers. The best thing about it is having a staff member onsite. So if there’s any issues with a washer for instance, expect some attention immediately.
They do pick up and delivery service now and I’m considering it in the future. They look like they do an awesome job. I really enjoy coming here when I have to especially during the week days when it’s not too busy.
Overall– they get 5 stars.

This is going to sound weird, but after being in a place with an in-​unit washer & dryer, there are actually things I look forward to about using a laundromat again. Need a hefty dryer to dry a ton of crap? Have six loads of laundry but not the 8 hours needed to do them back-​to-​back? On the odd occasion you need to just drop off your laundry and have them do it for you? Sparkling Coin Laundry is the place for all of that.
Things I love about this place:
— Free wi-​fi
— Unilocal Check-​In deal (currently 30 minutes of drying time)
— Open really late and really early. 7am to 11:30pm most days!
— Free wi-​fi
— Helpful staff
— A good amount of machines, and big dryers
— Transactions are in quarters, not tokens, so you don’t get a bunch of useless coinage if you don’t use it all.
It’s not a massive place, but as long as it’s not crowded you’ll be fine. The parking lot for the strip mall is small, so try to come at odd hours.
The only thing that would make this place better is if they could convert a credit card swipe to coins.
