Wash Mart Coin Laundry

After driving my unmentionables to a laundromat on Clement for the past few months, I realized that I was becoming progressively anxious on the days I did my laundry. Will I find parking? Will all the machines be full? If they are full, what do I do to pretend like I'm an easy-going dude while simultaneously hovering over the washing machines with 5 minutes or less on the clock? How do I prepare myself to pounce on machines the second that neon socks and hyphy shirts are removed while retaining my class and dignity?

Well, three months and a few prescriptions of Xanax later, I spent fifteen minutes walking around my block and discovered this place. I've only been once but my experience was top notch. The place was spotless in terms of cleanliness. There were only two or three people using the machines, and all the different types of machines are well labeled based on size. There are two change machines (one was broken at the time) and they will provide quarters for anything up to $20 dollar bills (take that, Sunshine Laundry!).

Parking could be rough since there are no meters around, but if you're in walking distance, the location is great.

Oh, and you know those carts that you put your laundry in between the washer and dryer? If anyone wants to try relay racing in them, please let me know.

There are multiple coin laundry places around my neighborhood, but this place seems always crowded compared to others (just a few blocks away). Not sure why... maybe because it's on Cabrillo where the streets are wide and fairly quiet (for ease of loading/unloading laundry) and free parking is not too difficult to find (double park as needed).

I like this place when I need to wash BIG items (blankets, sleeping bags) since I can unload them fairly easily just by myself walking from my parked car. Prices are comparable for the area, and the place is kept clean

Feel pretty safe here without having to sit inside the laundromat for fear of people stealing/damaging clothes (don't miss those dorm days at all when you had to watch out for random pranksters with bleach/ink/etc.). Will go back again for sure.

My local laundry place (when I do it myself, rather than dropping it off...check out Spring Cleaners on 22nd and Balboa if that's what you're looking for).  

Wash Mart is always spotless, probably because they thoroughly clean it every night (I see the guy do it a lot, I'm a night time laundry-doer).  One con and the only reason they didn't get 5 stars is the hours are less than amazing.  They close at 10.  Midnight would be cool.  Ah well.  I think clean is what really counts for a laundry mat and that they do well.

Well, as far as laundromats (why is it laundromat and not laundrymat... wikipedia it!) go this is pretty standard. I think the best laundromat I've ever been to was on Forbes ave in Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, not CA. It was frickin' huge, shiney, and had a lot of arcade games. Including the one where you shoot frickin' aliens. I love to shoot frickin' aliens. Anyway, like I said, this place is pretty standard, a couple magazines to read, a corkboard for community posts etc. No frickin' aliens.

I like doing my laundry here.  It's always clean and well-lighted with plenty of washers and dryers that always work.  Parking is relatively easy even though it's in the middle of a residential area.
