SKC Laundromat

They’re OPEN! Clean with brand new dryers, too. It’s not hectic and there are benches to sit on while your wait.

Dropped laundry off here a few times. The first two times were fine, but most recently they got some kind of pink dye on three towels and a shirt. They didn’t tell us about it when we picked our laundry up and folded all of the pink parts to the inside so we didn’t notice it when we were putting everything away. Extremely sloppy and unprofessional, we won’t be coming back.

Staff is rude and strangely unprofessional (except for a guy named Sam). By this i mean, they are not happy to provide you with quarters for washing and will verify the amount you request is appropriate for the laundry you bring. The business is not the most sanitary and many of the machine detergent slots are not cleaned. Roaches are a common site and i often see them around drop off clothing sacks that has been laundered.
In the months i have frequented this place i have yet to speak with another patron that has positive things to say about this establishment. As me, most patronize the location for convenience and perhaps cost ($ 2.00 laundry/​dryer:$. 25 for 6 minutes).

I’ve since asked that they use low heat on my laundry and they were happy to accommodate.

Have done laundry or had my laundry done here for the last year and change. They’re great, super nice, no mishaps to speak of. They even once washed a duvet.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE !! They have the best service and the price is great. If your looking for a laundromat this may be the one. I have been coming here ever since I moved here. I would most definitely recommend coming here. Sam is so nice and Shirley as we’ll. The kids are also super sweet.

Skc laundromat never does dry clean for all these years, when you walk in here you will see this old laundromat, with nice people and great services, their business hour is Monday to Tuesday 7:30 am to 9:00 pm, Wednesday 7:30 am to 7:00 pm, Thursday to Sunday 7:30 am to 9:00 pm. They also have pickup services, but only on weekends.

I drop off my laundry most of the time, but I do it myself when I have the time and/​or need to wash anything delicate.
Did laundry here myself once, and I will never go back – the employees were rude, and the place is so much dirtier than others close by. I didn’t see any men who worked here, so maybe the previous reviewers raving about Sam are talking about an employee who has left since 2011?
Also have to give a bad rating for the drop off service. Against my advice, my boyfriend once dropped off his clothes here and they lost a couple of items. It was nothing big, and I know that that’s the risk you take when you drop off laundry, but that combined with the rude factor, means that I avoid this place at all costs – even if it means a much longer trek with a heavy laundry bag.

Doing your laundry here is great! BUT DO NOT HAVE YOUR DRY CLEANING DONE HERE.
I have left items accidentally behind and come back a week later to find them safely stored away. The people running the laundry mat are helpful and sweet. Machines seem clean but the place is small with little room for folding. When the place is busy, you are constantly having to move out of someone’s way.
I did my dry cleaning here once. It was a one of a kind, Anthropologie silk dress that had no stains and simply needed cleaning. THEY LOST MY DRESS. I waited weeks for them to look for it. I spoke to a woman at the corporate head quarters over the phone many times. She was very rude and not willing to take responsibility. She even tried to give me a guilt trip saying that it was my fault they lost the dress and that I shouldn’t ask for reimbursement because it is a hardship for the lady running the store front. Apparently the laundry mat is owned by a bigger company where they send out the dry cleaning. However, The woman running the store was very apologetic and reimbursed me for a portion of the cost of the dress and offered me free dry cleaning for the remainder. Needless to say, I never returned to do more dry cleaning.
Nearly 3 months later, they FOUND my dress. She said it was found at the bottom of the company carry bag. My dress was the same color. The lady running the store front wouldn’t take my reimbursement back and reiterated for me just to continue to give them my service. HOWEVER, after getting the dress home, I realized that it was RUINED! The pattern on the dress had bled everywhere. I didn’t look closely at the dress when she gave it to me because I was so excited they found it! I think the dress was left on the floor in water some how which is why the pattern bled. I continue to do my laundry here but I do NOT recommend getting your dry cleaning done here.

I don’t like doing laundry by myself, so I usually drop off clothes every other week, and they always do a very great job.
Girls are friendly there and it’s important to me, cuz I really don’t like to «bother» people even if that’s their job. Also they’ve got rather cheap prices compare to other places and they make clothes smell really nice, they do care about doing a great job, no exaggeration. Like this place and highly recommend to everyone.

Sam is the best! The service here is great and very affordable. I get my clothes back very quickly, nicely folded and very clean. The people that work here (especially Sam) are always friendly and ready to help me get my overstuffed laundry bag out of the cart. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

I lived at the corner of DeGraw and Hoyt streets, and loved this place. The owners are friendly and the machines seemed pretty dependable. Definitely recommended.

I recenly moved to Carroll Gardens from Bushwick and to my surprise, this laundromat is far dirtier and unkempt than my go-​to in Bushwick (Laundry Depot).
I tried this place before Super Laundromat because of the better Unilocal reviews, but in my opinion this place is not better.
I am still one of those people who prefer to do my own laundry, mostly because I prefer to line-​dry most of my clothes and I don’t want to take the risk of a stranger ruining my things. On that note, this place is NOT a good place for self-​service, as there is no place to sit and wait if you wanted to.
The place I’ve been going to instead is not featured on Unilocal yet but is on Smith St. between Union and President St. It is much cleaner and is definitely do-​able for self-​service or drop off.

Nice place to get your laundry washed and folded. Very fast! Reasonable prices, friendly folks.

Sam is great, and I love SKC. It’s conveniently located right by the Carroll street F/​G for same day drop-​off service. You can leave your own detergent with them if you prefer, and they air dry my delicates.
I have noticed that some of my clothes have shrunk slightly since I moved to Brooklyn, but I guess that’s to be expected with industrial dryers at any laundromat. Or when you’re eating a steady diet of pizza and gelato.

4.5 stars Because of its size and cleanliness I’ll take ½ star away but as I’ll let you know this is a great place to drop off your laundry not do it here (although you could if you wanted to), I’d give this place 2.5÷3 stars if I was rating it as a do-​it-​yourself laundromat.
SKC is on the boarder of Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill on the happening strip of Smith Street. It’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. I don’t know if I would do my wash myself here because it’s very very tight in here and it isn’t the cleanest environment to hang out in. But for dropping off your laundry this place is the best. My girlfriend as tried at least half a dozen laundromats in the area and because of high prices or rude people she’s had to keep looking until she found SKC. They are the cheapest and sweetest people to get your laundry done in the area and they always do it very quickly.

don’t let the shabby exterior fool you. the couple is sweet and their kids will show you their drawings. so far so good, never lost an item, and the whites stay white and the darks stay dark. i like the place, been going for over 2 years.

i don’t fluff and fold, but i do wash and dry here. the ladies that work here remind me of my great aunts and late grammy. sweet babblings in cantonese and lovingly folded laundry.
there are double washers for $ 1.75 a load each. it’s a quarter to dryer for 6 minutes, but these dryers are HUGE and don’t take too much time to get your clothes warm and dry. i toss two washer fulls and these are dry in 30 minutes. some of my thicker towels are a little damp, but jeans and sweats are done.

After Smith Laundry lost approximately half of my wardrobe, I started coming here. They are terrific! My laundry is always on time, nothing ever gets lost, and they couple who works there are very friendly! I also think they are a little bit cheaper than Smith Laundry. I think another reason this is so much nicer is that they do less laundry than Smith Laundry does, so things are less likely to get jumbled together.

We live in a brand new building in Clinton Hill – and they casually forgot to build the laundry room – Thank you, Paine Webber!
Things became worse when the laundromat around the corner stopped paying their rent and was evicted (they sucked anyway).
Enter SKC to save the day. We don’t live in Carroll Gardens, and only do laundry once a month (we have a lot of pairs of underwear and socks!) but whotf cares, they PICK UP and DELIVER IT FOLDED for $ 2 (plus laundry fees) SAME DAY. Prices are really reasonable. I separate my no-​dryer, darks and whites separately in the laundry bag before they pick it up, to make it easy for them.
But sometimes, they mess up and put an item that was not supposed to be dried in the dryer, or the clothes that are not dried get musty if you leave with them overnight (make sure you ask for the same day). Anyway, they always correct the mistakes, so all around, it’s just great to have them. Ask for Sam.
Update ⁷⁄₂₀₀₈: THEY DON’T TAKE CREDIT CARDS! Turned out to be real hassle. Who uses cash anymore?
