Green Laundromat

I frequented this laundromat for 4 years and had nothing but great experiences with the quality of the machines, the dry cleaning, and the customer service from the owners. They always got my dry cleaning on-​time or early, were able to accommodate me when I needed a service done last-​minute, and even sewed buttons back on my peacoat several times for free. They’re conveniently located right in front of a bus stop for the #32 and are a 10-​minute walk from The Orange Line Forest Hills T stop. Check them out if you need a new laundromat!

I like this place a lot! Their prices are reasonable for dry cleaning and ‘wash and fold’ and their machines are a great value. Dont let the sketchy outside or interior fool you!

This place is the best I have two kids work full time & go to school have to come home to cook & clean. It just feel a great to have someone to trust in dropping off your dirty clothes– they wash it & fold it for a reasonable price usually 20 – 40 dollars. I pick it up two days later put it away & off I go. For about 7 years been very faithful– love them 5 stars!

I’d give them 5 stars, but its still early to rate reliably. That said, so far I’m very happy to have found this place! I have laundry in my building, so can’t comment on that aspect, but have brought dry cleaning and minor alterations to them with pleasant results.
It’s a family operated place, and so far all have been very friendly and accommodating. Best of all they have reasonable pricing for dry cleaning and do a good job.
I regularly have to bring suit jackets for cleaning and when you’re cleaning several items it can add up quickly!
Winter coat (wool, long) was $ 10. Suit jackets $ 6 each, and resewing a torn inner pocket– $ 9. Usual time expectation for cleanings is 3 – 4 days without rush, and the tailoring is about a week.
I posted some photos, one of which has the hours but its wicked hard to read. They closed at 8pm Monday, and I think that’s about the norm. When in doubt, just call.
Anyway, I rarely review, but am happy to have found a place nearby that can be relied upon that won’t break the bank!

Conveniently, the week we moved into our new place in the lovely Bourne neighborhood of JP, the washer in our place went on the fritz so we’ve been taking our laundry to the wash n fold. We feel the price is fair, they do it in less than a day, and the people are super nice.
Maggie (our doggie) even comes with me, but freaks out when she sees the kitty. Nevertheless, this is a great place and whenever I need my laundry done & can’t do it myself, I’ll take it here.

So I am home on a Friday night, reviewing my laundromat. I will now leave it up to you if you want to keep reading, or send me a personal message telling me how I’m a lame loser. Or, you could invite me out for some dinner. But if you are still reading this, you must truly be interested in my feelings about the place I wash my clothes, for whatever reason. I will try to make this useful. Tip #1, come hungry, Los Benedicios is next door. Order a cuban, it makes the washer and dryer work faster. Tip#2, learn spanish, or bring your own entertainment. I think the TV in there only plays spanish soap operas. But they have great taste in music. Classic disco and soul are always coming from the speakers. The perfect music to lip sync to with your roommate, while folding your undies! There’s a little pathetic looking cat that is really cute. I call him raggedy cat and talk to him when I am outside smoking. The people are nice, they will change bills for you, and offer wash-​dry-​fold service for an affordable fee. It’s also a dry cleaners. There’s a corner store next door if you run out of detergent or need munchies, scratch tickets, or porn mags (behind the counter.) As for the actual laundry-​doing, there are many machines to be had. They range in price from $ 2.50 to $ 6.00 and the dryers are the standard 0.25 for 7 minutes, but they are strong and fast on the high setting. Speaking of the high setting, if you do, it really adds to the experience. And makes the cuban taste even yummier, if thats even possible. I can just smell the bounce and taste the pickles now! If your draws smell like hollowed out monkey balls, this is the PLACE TO BE!

After a few weeks with a malfunctioning laundry room, I’m a fan of the Green Laundromat. The people who run it are really sweet, and will do full service wash, dry and fold (33 pounds even!) in under 24 hours. When we got our clothes we couldn’t stop marveling over how soft, fresh and good smelling and meticulously folded they were (even the undies!), so much nicer than when we do our own laundry. Because of this place, I’m a fabric softener convert. Another cool bonus is that there’s a kitty that hangs out there.
The only thing is I brought drycleaning on a Thursday and didn’t get it until the next Wednesday. I think they outsource their drycleaning and that’s why so long. Our clothes came back great, though.

So, it’s a laundromat. Nothing to get too jazzed up about, I know. But for residents of Forest Hills, the Green Laundromat can be a lifesaver. If you don’t have laundry in your building, or just have a shitty washer/​dryer that you hate with every fiber of your being, this is your spot. They’re inexpensive, keep great hours, have a vending machine in case you’re out of detergent, and most importantly, offer new washers in several different sizes. That way, you can choose whatever is appropriate for your needs, and help conserve water.
The women who run this place are ridiculously nice and accommodating. There’s this one super-​sweet lady whom I like a lot. I kind of just want to run up to her and say, «You’re really nice! Thank you so much!» Now, she doesn’t know this, and would probably find it nothing short of creepy, but there’s something touching about that sort of understated, genuine, sincerity and kindness. I truly appreciate that, especially when doing a task as boring and annoying as laundry.
In you’re in need of washing or dry cleaning those dirty clothes of yours, or need some expert tailoring done, go ahead and support the Green Laundromat. You’ll leave so fresh and so clean.
