MK Laundromat

The machines in this laundromat are consistently out of order. You put your money in and it eats it. The people who work there do not care in the slightest, and always seem to be complaining or gossiping with each other. They have no concept of hurrying or being fair. They are useless and the machines are unreliable and overpriced. I hate having to pound the door hoping to make the money take.
And then today the woman who works there told me when someone else had come in, «He was waiting first.» Bullsheeeet. She was horribly rude. At first I thought she was joking. And then I wanted to disappear into the wall. Urgh. Hate this place. I’m here now, typing this to vent because this is a hell no other human should experience.
Urgh. Cannot wait until a new laundry place opens up so I never have to come here again.

If there is a hell on earth, it is this place

After Yang Guang around the corner closed, I began my search for a new laundromat. This place is smaller and so it’s not surprising that it’s usually crowded, especially in the cramped dryer area in the back of the building. There aren’t very many laundry carts, either, which is a problem. The washers smell more like mildew than I’m used to, but seem to work pretty well. Small washers are $ 2.50 (at the old place I paid $ 2, so that’s a bummer). Decent, but not outstanding.

Never coming back. The machine was broken and my clothes didn’t rinse so they were soaking wet. When I took them out my pants and shoes got soaked (I didn’t know how wet the clothes were). They gave my money back but I still had to wait to re-​wash all the clothes. The place is also really tiny and dirty. It is very crowded. Never returning!!!

Okay. So we often drop off our laundry to be washed here and then pick it up. We provide them with detergent to make sure that they use something good and not crappy powder laundry detergent. When we pick up our bags, they generally feel good and smell great.
But they once ruined a pair of my underwear that I really liked. They weren’t lacey or particularly delicate — they were like seamless leggings type material and hipster boy shorts — but a thread must have snagged and pulled somewhere and as a result, the right side goes way higher than the left. They’re pretty much ruined and only suitable for lounging around at home or perhaps going to the gym. I detailed this in my last review for this place, but it was just a pair of underwear — not the end of the world and I can afford to buy new ones (also, hooray for excuses to buy lingerie! Lol).
But now I’m really pissed off. Infuriated. Last Thursday my boyfriend was kind enough to pack up our laundry, bring it over and pick it up. Yesterday (Saturday) I finally got around to unpacking my bag (we have separate hampers and laundry bags to make things easier) and upon removing one of my bras I was surprised to find a huge knot in it with black thread that did not belong to either item. I later found a new pair of underwear that was destroyed and apparently found a way for thread to wrap itself around the 2 bras.
After using scissors (there was no other solution) to separate them I was even more upset to find a bunch of holes and tears on one of my favorite bras. The holes are around where the sides of your back are (under the armpit/​upper arm area). I’m 110% sure that THERE WERE NO HOLES IN ANYTHING before they were brought to this laundromat. I’m so upset. The other bras straps are a mess and I’ve uploaded photos to demonstrate the state of my items as I found them.
They’ve destroyed 2 pairs of underwear and 2 bras. They’ve also destroyed the bottom seam of one of my dresses — it was brand new, only worn once and it was dropped off in perfect condition (see photos!). This isn’t even a delicate dress! — At least a $ 100 value among my destroyed undergarments and my dress.
I’ll never trust this place with anything again and I’m grateful for the laundromat up the block adjacent to Bareburger (it’s called, «Yang Guang Laundromat»). Their reviews aren’t great, but they have yet to destroy anything of mine.
EDIT: THAT LAUNDROMAT ABOVE HAS CLOSED AND RELOCATED TO 30^th AVE. Now my «go to» is next to Michael’s Diner on 34^th and Broadway.
DO NOT COME HERE and do laundry drop-​off/​pick-​up unless you want your stuff destroyed.

There has been a homeless man hanging out inside this place at night for several weeks now. It smells so terribly bad inside I was finally forced to go somewhere else.
Hope the owner reads this.
I use to love this place.

What can I say, other than this no frills laundromat on 31^st avenue has provided me great and reliable service for almost two years.
Staff is always friendly and their same day wash and fold is incredible. I’ve never lost anything and I haven’t experienced any issues with the machines ruining my clothes. Prices are mad cheap too compared to Manhattan.
Overall environment is clean enough and machines are new enough. Plenty of dryers and washers too. I’ve never had to wait when I’ve chosen to do my laundry.
Unfortunately no WiFi, outlets, or many seats available, but who really wants to sit and wait when you probably live down the block.
CASH only.

Washers are pretty small, costs 2.25 for a load… takes 30 minutes
Dryers are awful, costs .25 but I had to run it like 4 times until it was actually dry
No outlets so no computer and no chairs anyway
