The Corner Wash

Decent laundromat. Gets the job done, but some of the machines look a little older/​run-​down.

I come here every time I have major loads to wash. It’s clean, they’ve got sweet magazines, wifi, snack and soda machines, and for the most part, reliable machines. There are also two seating areas, one of which is great for people watching on Adams Ave. In addition, you can drop of your clothes here and the employees will wash it for you for a reasonable fee.
Aside from mechanics working on machines (I’ve only seen them once), I’ve only ever seen three different people working here, all of which have been really nice. Two older white ladies and a young, super cute Latina.
Only downsides are the dog that sometimes roams around (don’t want hair on my freshly washed clothes), there are never paper towels or soap by the sink, parking can get tight, and some of the driers don’t dry, but that’s expected at any laundromat.
It may not be top of the line, but it gets the job done just fine. Plus the awesome location allows you to duck out while your clothes is washing to cut your hair, grab a bite to eat, get a coffee, or slam a beer… All possible within walking distance.

I want to like this place for the location and proximity to my place but this place is just absolutely unacceptable! IT IS A DUMP and just getting worse. So you really cant even replace a f***ing soap despenser by the sink??? Really? How much could that possibly cost? Most dryers either show an error and dont work or they sound so warn its like your drying auto parts in them. Bathroom is disgusting. Overall the place just looks like it is one step away from being abandoned. At this point i dont even wait for my clothes to be fully dry bc I just want to get out of there. I have decided I am done coming here even if it means I drive further. Clearly all $$ they make goes directly to owners pocket.

Bottom Line Up Front: Dog hair and an angry old bag lady.
I used to take my uniforms to this laundry for drycleaning services once a week. It was a little high on price $ 9.00 for khaki top and khaki slacks, but it’s right by my house, so I was really paying for convenience. I was unaware that the old lady had a dog with her until recently and my clothes had some kind of hair on them.
Right after paying my moolah for the cleaning, I got change for a $ 20 bill from the old white lady (OWL) and went to the change machine that indicates «customers only.» Having just paid for my poorly cleaned uniform that now resembled a Chewbacca suit, I felt that should qualify me as a customer for the purposes of using the change machine. OWL then went into a fit of rage asking if I knew how to read (I suppose we had a different understanding of the word «customer») and then repeating «No! No! No!» about 8 times before I decided to leave without responding.
I suppose that it’s rude to not respond, so I hope that this Unilocal review suffices, OWL

Not very tenured in the art of laundromats as this is my second experience using their laundry facilities and any laundromat but figured it deserved a rating.
$ 2.00 for a wash
$ 0.25 to dry
Just moved into the area and the location couldn’t be any better with the laundromat righty around the corner from my apartment. Plus the neighborhood is pretty awesome. A little disappointed with the driers as I had to add more change and jeans etc where still damp after 30 min in the
For some odd reason their was a dog in the laundromat?! The place could use some updating… Other than that, can’t wait to live in a place that has a washer and drier!
3 stars for service. The very nice ladies seemed upset I walked in at 7:40pm to wash. Probably because they want to go home– but if it’s your business or you work there. Your doors are still open because customers come see you.
Closes at 10pm. Last was 8pm.
Happy «laundry-​ing».

Even though it is a little pricier than other laundry Matts its totally worth it. It’s in a nice part of town, in the location there are working vending machines a tv with cable (always on a kid and adult friendly channels) also offers free WiFi !
the two ladies that work here are super friendly I havnt seen them stop cleaning since I’ve been here ! It’s a nice change compared to most, that are crowed with bored kids running around and crancky people .
It’s a little drive away from my neighboorhood but so worth it for a relaxing atmosphere to get the not so fun stuff done

Really nice location. I felt safer here than most laundromats. And the machines worked well. They also have a spot for dropping your laundry/​dry cleaning stuff off. It’s a good spot.

Last time we were here, we needed change for a $ 20. The lady at the counter says «hold on, I’m killing fleas». This is a Laundromat! Stop allowing people to bring their dogs in here! Especially you! This particular day there were 2 other dogs in here besides the usual kick– a-​poo that’s always in here (see photo). So she’s washing peoples clothes and folding them in the back where there are fleas. That was the last time I will ever be doing my laundry here. Completely unacceptable!

This place still sucks. Was asked to wait for change for my $ 20 because she had to take the fleas off her dog. All while sitting and folding an unknowing customers laundry. The flea was casually flicked on the floor hopefully dead.
I’m glad I didn’t take my clothes in to be washed by her and won’t be back anymore.

You don’t necessarily come here for the atmosphere, but the services provided here get your chores done! One of the perks here is the free wifi and snack machines that allow you to kill time as you wash and dry your clothes I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

It’s alright. As long as I can get my laundry done, I’m content. There’s an older lady, not the one with short hair, but the other one, super rude and likes to close out a little after nine, I work late so I run into her occasionally but I’m always out promptly. The rest of the staff is great.

Nice place, clean, dryers working, good parking lot,
Single load washers for $ 2.00. Dryers at 8 min for Quarter.

I was there doing laundry on a Sunday night– it was 15 before close and both employees kept walking by and sighing at me and standing over me. Rude employees and the washers aren’t that great– I go to the laundry mat on El Cajon– it’s further from my house but it’s bigger and cheaper with nicer machines and the employees don’t bother you.

As laundromats go, this one is by far my favorite. It’s clean and nice and open. There is always plenty of parking. It’s air conditioned in the summer and has free wifi. The staff is helpful and courteous. The only thing that bothers me is that I have to go to a laundromat in the first place! (-;

This laundry mat isn’t the biggest I’ve been to but it’s definitely clean. They have a parking lot which is always a plus. Plus it’s on adams so you can walk to the bars or a restaurant while you’re waiting for your laundry.

I live about 2 blocks from this laundromat and have been doing laundry here for over 2 years. I usually do laundry in the evening and for the most part don’t have any problems with this business. Generally speaking the employees are unhelpful, unfriendly and seem to be always «watching» every move I make. Its as if they are trying to catch me stealing something or otherwise committing a crime. Its a little annoying but the place is super convenient for me so I deal with it.
Last week I went there in the morning for the first time ever and I had almost every article of clothing I own, plus my sheets, towels and about 6 zip-​up hoodie jackets. Needless to say, it was the mother load of laundry and it required an almost militant like strategy to time it all out correctly.
The first order of business was to make change for something like $ 40(two $ 20’s), so I parked my truck and walked in without any laundry to make sure the coin machine was working and could handle two $ 20 dollar bills. As I approached the machines, I could see a man I had never seen before crouched down with tools in hand who appeared to be repairing something or perhaps replenishing the quarter supply.
I asked him, «Are the machines working?»
«Are you doing laundry?» He replied.
«What?» I responded, with a twinge of sarcasm.
«Are you doing laundry… here?» He assertively clarified.
«Ummmmm…ya» I answered. This time with unquestionable sarcasm because it seemed like the most obvious reason for being at a laundromat at 9am and I couldn’t tell through his accent if he was joking. Also, at that time it was unclear why a quarter machine repairman would be drilling me with questions.
Then, as if the conversation couldn’t get more bizarre, he stood up and said, «Where are your clothes?»
At this point I started to get annoyed. Being extremely confused and too tired to question his right to ask me the location of my dirty laundry, I answered, «In my truck.» This time, my sarcasm was replaced with defensiveness as my level of confusion exponentially grew.
«Go get them», he now demanded. «These are my quarters and they need to stay here.
I now understood why this man was so inquisitive towards my motives for making change. I told him I had been doing laundry there for over 2 years as an attempt to show quarter loyalty.
He responded by saying he had never seen me before and motioned with his hand for me to go retrieve my dirty clothes before he would let me use the machines.
I never knew quarter machines needed this type of security and now understood the watchful eyes of the other employees.
Regardless of my understanding, this guy was a jerk and my tolerance towards the general unfriendly and unhappy demeanor of these employees has run out.
I give this business 1 star because of the way I was treated during this encounter and the encounters before this. One night about a year ago, a blonde employee locked the doors on me while I was outside on the phone smoking a cigarette waiting for my clothes to dry. My back was turned toward the laundromat front doors and when I turned around, all the lights were off and the doors were locked. It was like 10:10pm and they closed at 10pm. I know its not there job to round everyone up at 9:50 to get there clothes but when she locked the doors she had to have looked right at me and ducked out the back door. Almost as if she did it on purpose.
I will never go back to this place.

After having Washer problems at home I decided to use Corner Wash for my big pile of dirty laundry I had accumulated.
I came here on a Sunday morning and place was surprisingly empty. I had no problem using one of the Big Load washers and then move on to a Big Load dryer.
Place is clean, and you can see how the machines receive regular maintenance. I didn’t see any signs on any washer or dryer saying that they were down for maintenance.
They have a Change Machine, and also a Machine to buy supplies work on your loads.
Free WiFi, and 2 Vending Machines to grab a quick little snack.
They do offer Fluff N Fold service.

I work in customer service so I notice customer service first. If a place has great customer service I can overlook other shortcomings. This place has NO customer service.
My husband and I just moved into a place with no washer and dryer-​for the first time. So we are looking for a place to do our laundry every week. We tried this place out since it is the closest.
I pulled out my first load of clothes from the dryer, which included a brand new work blouse I had not worn yet (in fact I had just taken the tags off it that morning to wash it) — and it had stains all over it! So I left it at the laundromat with a claim form and was told the owner would get back to me on Monday when he was in.
So he called while I was at work and I was unable to answer. When I called back 2 hours later he was already gone but had his attendant tell me that «there is nothing they could do because it is not their responsibility to keep their machines clean». I found that to be a rude brush off d a response, and not the way an owner of a business should be treating his customers.
I will be driving farther out of my way to find a laundromat that wants my business.

The home washer is out of commission for the weekend, being re-​piped, so I filled up the back with bags of laundry. Scheduled several errands in Kensington, so consulted Android maps to search for a nearby coin laundry and here we are.
The good news: Parking lot is sufficient. Did six loads simultaneously, YAY! Place is clean, has wifi, fairly normal, pleasant clientele, Vons is close so you can pickup detergent and bleach and not pay exorbitant fees. Most of the machines worked. There is a coffee place right next door, though they close at 2 on Saturdays. It’s a safe neighborhood: kids playing at the park across the street, De Milles Italian Restaurant is right there, too~
The bad news: One of the washing machines ATE 7 (SEVEN!!!) different pieces of clothing. SEVEN!!! WTF!!! Rips, tears, holes, shreds, OMG. It was as if a dozen rats had been in there chewing to their hearts content, making nests for the entire rat kingdom.
Then, one of the dryers took a coin and suddenly flashed «ERROR WILL ROBINSON» (lol, maybe not WR, but you understand), The attendant was nice enough to refund the coin without question, though I took those remaining clothes home partially damp, being scared a dryer might suddenly acquire those rats from the washer.
Mixed news: Bathroom was clean, had to put the paper on the roll.
They do not accept credit cards, though that may be an industry standard, I don’t know.
Sign on the wall says the attendant will put your stuff in the dryer and fold it for six dollars per dryer, but attendant refuses, stating the sign is out of date and does not apply at that price. Again, WTF???
I asked how long, on average, does a typical dryer take to dry two loads of wet laundry. Attendant was not capable of making the calculation. (sigh) «ALERT WILL ROBINSON: Possible high school drop out.»

Yeah, it’s a laundromat. But I dig that they offer a fluff n’ fold.
Let’s face it. Sometimes you get too busy to keep up with the weekly chores. So the dust starts building up. And the sink could use a good wipe down. And you don’t want to take baths because you haven’t had time to give it the bi-​weekly clean. And your laundry hamper is over flowing with clothes. And you want to prioritize your chores, so you choose cleaning the apartment over doing your laundry.
That’s when you drop off your laundry at Corner Wash and have them take care of your laundry.
$ 1.50/pound, $ 2.00/pound if you want your stuff done on the weekend.
They’ll launder, fold, press your pressables and wrap everything up in a nice package for you for a pretty penny. None of my items were shrunk, even my tees
The only downside, they use some kind of powerful smelling laundry detergent that will let everyone know that someone else laundered your clothes for you. Might want to supply your own stash if you want to avoid that situation.
