Hoang Sanh Laundry

When I moved into my new flat, I was disappointed to learn that there wasn’t a washing machine in there anywhere (trust I looked high and low). Luckily Glebe has a few different laundry services to choose from. In my experience, the best one is Hoang Sanh.
There are a couple things I like about this place: I like the fact that they always match my socks up correctly (it’s shocking how polka dot with polka dot, paisley with paisley can be such a difficult concept). I like that the male owner has the uncanny ability to fold my t-​shirts into the most perfect rectangle one might ever see. I also like the fact that it’s a family establishment. I rarely walk in their door without receiving a friendly little RAM into my shin by a 3 year-​old driving a plastic car.
Lastly, I like the «no judgment» approach to dry cleaning. One time after a particularly huge day /​night out, I brought in my favorite white skirt with grass stains all over the back and technicolor cocktail spillage on the front. I gave it to the owner sheepishly with down-​cast eyes and a «please, please it’s my favorite!» Without even the hint of a scolding, she took it, sorted it out and with 4 two-​dollar coins I was able to buy back my dignity a couple days later.
