Academy Laundromat

I’ve used Academy Laundromat five times for wash-​dry-​fold service and I’m thrilled with the service. When I get behind on my laundry after a rip or during a busy work week, it’s nice to have an easy and fast option to get caught up! I bring in a large cloth hamper that is probably the equivalent of 2.5 loads in my washing machine and it typically costs me $ 18 – 20. If I come in the morning, it’s ready in the afternoon. Everything is pristinely folded. (You will never want to unfold your fitted sheets once you get them back from there.) The detergent they use is very fragrant which may be off putting to some, but per another reviewer, you might be able to change it. They also offer wash-​dry-​hang which I have not yet used, so I just sort my laundry to bring them only items that I want tumble dried. The two women working there are very courteous.
If it’s your first time there and you’re not sure what to do, just walk straight to the back with your laundry in a bag and go to the little window in the back. Let them know you’re dropping off for wash-​dry-​fold. She will weigh your laundry and write up a receipt for you. You can pay then or at pick up, but you’ll know in advance what you owe.
Both the other two reviewers addressed safety — I am a female, often accompanied by two small children and I’ve felt completely safe there. I am always there during the daytime and usually morning. Be wise and aware of your surroundings but don’t let the location stop you from utilizing a great service!

I’m reviewing this place before I even get my laundry back. As long as my laundry comes back good I’ll update this to 5 stars. I almost didn’t go because of a previous review saying this was in the «heart of the ghetto.» Get out of here with that BS!
I’m going to assume that users wife wrote that comment and not him. This place is just off a major road. It may not be the nicest neighborhood but this is far from a «ghetto.» The girl working was super nice. I asked what kind of detergent they used and asked if I could upgrade to Tide. That request was no problem for her and she also threw in some Downey. I’m going to be here for a month for work and as long as my laundry comes back ok I’ll be using them again.
Nice staff, reasonable prices (10 lb minimum on wash and fold), AND NOT A SCARY NEIGHBORHOOD!

Took the king bedspread in to get it wash and folded. It was $ 18. They make a donation with a portion of the sale. Lots of machines. Pleased with the finished product. Not the greatest location. Staff was friendly and bedspread was delivered timely as promised

I have only used this place as a drop off and pick up for my laundry. I can’t review the machines here. The prices are pretty cheap. .75-.85 cents per lb. The staff as far as I can tell are two pretty Latino girls. They don’t talk much but are friendly. They do an excellent job of folding my clothes. The place is fairly clean. They sell drinks and snacks as well as laundry stuff. I will continue to use this place. It’s a little cramped in here though. Also the parking lot is cramped too. Oh and it’s cash only! They also can have your laundry done the same day if you drop it off before noon I think.
Now the bad… This place is in the ghetto. I’m uneasy every time I’m in this area. Did I lock my doors? Is that guy staring at me? Is he following me? It’s not too bad I guess. Just be cautious. Also here is a tip. Go there in the morning, that’s when criminals are sleeping. You won’t have any problems. I definitely would not go here at night.
UPDATE: I’m updating in response to Jason’s comment about my review. Yes this is the ghetto for me. One street over to the left is a strip club and to the right is a rent by the hour motel. There are definitely worse places but it’s just a warning. Now that being said I have never had a problem here and will continue to use them.
