Kleen R Laundromat

BEWARE! I’m not one to complain but I am completely disgusted with how Kleen R Laundromat stained my entire load of laundry that I dropped off for wash and fold service. My fiancé returned to the laundromat to speak to the associate demanding a refund and to bring the stains to her attention she replied that he would have to wait 3 days until the manager was in. This will be our first and LAST time using this laundromat.

I left my clothes in the dryer for 15 minutes after they had stopped drying and they disappeared. I asked the people working there about them — they had no idea. I can only conclude they were stolen.

I’ll start by saying I’ve gone here for 3 years, place is clean, usually have enough washers and dryers to go around, the night guy (CJ) is one of the nicest you’ll find. But the day shift workers are another story. I got my laundry this evening and put a few items back to dry more while I folded the other items (2 cotton towels, a cotton blanket and jeans). When I pulled out the second dry items, turns out the towels and blanket both got really burnt, it’s came out smelling burnt, so I went over to the guy to say that they should put dryer 45 out of service (it’s towels, they can be replaced), but almost immediately he shouts «no no no» (like no our machine didn’t do it or no, I can’t believe this happened to you… It was hard to tell what the no no no was for), turns out it was first version, he just walked away. Pull out another burnt item and another, I go back to say, that is mostly definitely the dryer to get the «no no no» again. I ask to speak to the owner, at least to tell him/​her that there is an issue. He at least apologized and said it was probably a language barrier (that is pretty debatable). Either way, buyer beware, this burning has happened to my roommate and now me, watch your stuff very closely and don’t re-​dry items, they burn:/

I’m reviewing as a person who only does my own laundry here. I have never had others do mine for me at a laundromat, so I don’t know about that side of it. However, this place is GREAT for doing my own laundry, because it’s open 24 hours, there are TONS of machines, and there is always someone on staff to help with any issues. They also have a tv up front that plays Law and Order or maybe football. I don’t ever fold my clothes at the laundromat, but there’s also a lot of table space for that. Way better spot than my old laundromat in Park Slope.

Despite separating my whites and requesting that they be bleached, they always came back a little more yellow than before. Even more damning — they also lost two pairs of expensive jeans from the same laundry load, and I’ve found other people’s laundry in my bag — large items like shirts and pants, not just the stray sock. Definitely a risk I wouldn’t recommend.

As much as I hate doing my own laundry, I think I’m always gonna do my own laundry. I really don’t trust people to know what needs to go in a delicates bag and what doesn’t. Also, the stories about Kleen R losing people clothes on here are scary. I can lose and ruin laundry on my own, thank you very much.
On the plus side, the machines here are nice and plentiful. It’s open 24 hours, which is a heckuva lot better than the place I used to go to that closed at 7 pm (!) every day. There’s a TV that usually is showing the news or Law and Order. Dun dun!
On the other hand, I have seen multiple cockroaches here. And their change machines are ALWAYS broken. The staff will kindly exchange quarters for your $$ anyway, but it’s annoying. And, um, did I mention the cockroaches?

My dryer broke for a couple of days, so I was forced to use the drop off service here. Two pairs of my panties (nice, durable ones) look as though they were chewed by dogs. A t-​shirt had some sort of sticky gum baked into it, which was also torn. I’ve entrusted them with exactly one load of laundry, and they have destroyed at least 50 bucks worth of clothes. I even brought my own cleaning products! Needless to say, I will never go back there ever and urge you to do the same.

Decent enough yet very tightly spaced. At 1am (open 24 hours) this is fine, but it must be hard at peak times.
The machines are newish, and the prices typical. They have about 3 flat screen TVs and there are few delis and take out places on the block to kill some time.

It’s less than a block away from me and there were plenty of free washers/​dryers at 6:30pm on a Tuesday. I will go out of my way to not have to wait for machines, so this time works for me. I guess I haven’t lived in nyc long enough to be okay with someone else doing my laundry, so I probably won’t be reviewing the drop-​off service anytime soon.
The attendant helped me out when a quarter got stuck in the machine.
Get one of those mesh bags for underwear and you shouldn’t lose anything. (that’s just a general life tip, not specific to this place.)

Just came here to do my laundry but saw that there were no machines so I opted for drop off service instead! I can’t say I will do drop off again due to the price but I was pleased with the results! Nothing was missing, everything was clean and folded nicely. Ready within a day. It’s $ 2/​lb!
Anyways, the ladies are nice so I will definitely be coming back to do coin laundry in the future!

This place began a s a really enjoyable place to do your laundry, very clean and new machines and later turned into a train wreck! First up the attendant almost got slapped by me because of her rudeness. She would snatch and grab things and almost knock you out of the way if you were near her and then speak about customers in her language.
The dryers are a rip off and end way too quickly!

I hate to say it, but I just can’t use this place any longer.
I’ve been getting back clothes that are still dirty. My panties end up having holes in them. Anyone missing a pair of gray girls size small sweatpants with hearts on them? If so, I have them! And they’re def not mine! Looks like they’ve discontinued their dry-​cleaning service recently (with good reason, things were never there by the promised pick up date). Sad to say it, but another good business bites the dust. Convenience just no longer is good enough reason to use this place.

Their washer put rust stains on an entire load of my laundry, and they refused to even pay to rewash. They were incredibly rude.

FUCK THIS PLACE!
I like having a 24-​hour laundromat in the area, because I often prefer to do my laundry at odd hours. However I recently brought in my clothing for drop-​off service (which I never do) and when I got the order back ALL OF MY UNDERWEAR WAS MISSING.
I know it sounds funny, and it kind of is until you realize what it means to have no fucking underwear. I’ve been into the shop 3 times since I realized what happened and am going to keep going in everyday so I’m as big a pain in the ass as possible, but this situation is terrible and since I have no leverage I am doubtful this will be resolved to my liking.
At this point I just want them to recognize they made a mistake and stop trying to blame me or convince me that I must have everything. It’s infuriating to deal with them because they won’t take any responsibility.
NOT RECOMMENDED. I’m gonna start using Three Star (on the weekends I guess).

Is it cheesy to review your local laundromat? Well, I’m GONNA.
This place is clean, there are always open washers and dryers, and there are cheesy soaps on ²⁴⁄₇. Conveniently located right by my house, I couldn’t really ask for more. However, the horror stories of drop-​off service are rampant, so while I have never tried it, I can’t say that I recommend it.
This is kind of a lame review, but good laundromats are few and far between, so you should know that I absolutely approve of this one for wash-​your-​own-​biznass.

Warning — – Kleen R Laundromat has been losing clothes lately!!! You have been warned!!! Do not drop your clothes off there! H
Here is why:
I have been coming here since they opened. It was so great to finally have a nice new and clean place to get my laundry done. I started to drop off my laundry and dry cleaning here every week. It was great in the beginning but it has been consistently getting worse and worse. First I started to get other peoples sheets and sometimes a towel here and there. My stuff then started coming back with tons of lint on the dark stuff. My dry cleaning had someone’s sweater with it. My pants came back creased when I they didn’t have creases to begin with. I just noticed on my brand new dress shirt there are now bleach stains and this past week I went to get my favorite sweatshirt out of my laundry bag and it wasn’t there.
*The most expensive thing in the bag was missing!
Instead there was a pair of girls jeans that weren’t mine. I went back to bring back the jeans and there was no sign of my sweatshirt. The guy «called» his boss told me they would do whatever they could to find it and I have heard nothing. I went back again and spoke to someone else and made them call the boss Again! This time I spoke to the boss who had no idea about it! Makes me wonder if the first guy even called the boss or just made a pretend phone call. I’m leaning towards the latter of the two. The boss said they were sorry and they took my number. Still haven’t heard back… And now I’m fed up.
It sucks but I can’t go back to this place. Now I will have to find another place to do my laundry. I just can’t go to a place that I don’t trust.
I suggest they come up with a better system that ensures their customers that their clothes won’t disappear after they drop them off and train their employees on how to properly wash them before they let them wash customers clothes. It’s not right to allow them to train with customers clothes and ruin them.
Six Months ago I would have given this place 5 stars. Today I give them only ONE.

i just moved out of clinton hill and i am still trying to a neighborhood laundromat i like. so far nothing compares to kleen r .
i never dropped off laundry, but as far as doing the laundry yourself, i only have compliments:
+newer equipment
+TONS of washers & dryers with varying sizes
+everything looks clean
+multiple gigantic flat screen tvs so you can stay up to date on trashy shows
+ample folding areas
+benches inside AND outside
+helpful workers
+24 hours!!!
+great location
i used to grab some agua fresca at castro’s and people watch on one of the benches while my laundry spinned then later i would watch oprah on a flat screen tv and fold my clothes. those were the good ol’ days.

Coming from Harlem I’ve gotten used to laundry mats looking like demilitarized zones. Decrepit and often violent machines, dryers spewing noxious fumes, larcenous change machines are the norm where I used to live. Doing laundry wasn’t as much a simple chore as it was a fight to retain some semblance of your humanity. Enter the enigmatically christened «Kleen R Laundromat,» a welcome beacon out of the hellish horror of the typical Harlem mat.
First off, Kleen R Laundromat is well… «Kleen.» A phalanx of shiny new washers and dryers greet you upon entering this well lit establishment. The patrons are human and polite (as opposed to the Harlem Demon-​spawn that I have grown accustomed too). Even their TV– which is a nice 30 some odd inch flat screen– works. Crowded? Not at all, although I was there around 9pm-​ish on a weekday. Clean, dry clothes with that «April-​Fresh Smell?» Undoubtedly. Lets hear if for drama-​free laundry! Five stars!

If you are down with OPP, you should drop-​off your laundry at Kleen-​R-​Laundromat.
OPP in the last five batches from Kleen-​R-​Laundromat included the following:
— An entire stack of off-​white and stained towels from a restaurant
— A pair of unidentified boxer shorts (UBS)
— Extra socks
— Another pair of UBS
Naughty by Nature may be proud, but I’m definitely not down.

Well, if compared to other establishments that offers the same service this is the best I’ve come across in the neighborhood.
Yes it’s ‘only’ a laundromat but they do a great job, and I’m one of those who drops it off and picks it up when it’s folded and clean. I’m yet to be disappointed. Fast, relatively low cost and the girls running the place are nice and polite.
It’s actually their fault that I haven’t bought my own washer/​dryer yet.
