Spwash Coin Laundry

Are you fucking kidding me? Simple wash, nothing extra but their wash and fold and I get FOUR shirts back with oily stained spots all over them. I saw oil spots on the paper wrapped around the shirts, but not till I got home. Never going back there.

Mario is the coolest dude. I live next to another laundry spot but I travel a few blocks because the washers are nicer and cleaner. There are spots to fold which is clutch. Friendly environment and close to food while I’m waiting. Thanks Mario for keeping up the laundry spot. Much appreciated. Stay fresh.

Nice & clean. Wash & Fold excellent service. Mario is friendly and provides great service!

It’s pretty disappointing how few laundromats there are in this neighborhood. I think Mario gets away with not-​so-​great service because there are so few other options. It wasn’t horrible, but I think he takes too many clothes every day and you might have to wait two or three days to get your clothes back.
The coin-​op part of the business isn’t all that great either. The few places there are to sit are uncomfortable, and the machines are kinda expensive. That being said, I think he does take good care of the machines and they are in good working order.

**Do NOT use their wash & fold service if you want to be sure your things don’t go missing**
I have been going here for about a year and never had any major problems — until yesterday. It was such bad customer service that I felt I needed to write a review. All in all, the laundromat is fine. There’s no wi-​fi and the washers are a bit on the expensive side, but no major complaints with any of that.
I have done my own laundry there over the past year and also dropped it off for wash & fold about half the time as well. The last time I picked up my laundry after dropping it off, though, I realized that my favorite pair of quality yoga pants (not cheap, mind you) was missing. I know they were in the laundry bag because I wear them multiple times a week for rock climbing and I always wash them.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt, however, since I had never had an issue and took a few weeks to look everywhere that I could have misplaced them. No yoga pants. When I went back last night to do my own laundry I mentioned it to Mario and asked if anyone had accidentally gotten them/​returned them. He immediately got defensive and told me that couldn’t be true because he had never lost anything. I was a pretty shocked at the lack of customer service and let it lie for a bit.
After finishing doing my laundry, I brought it up to him again on my way out of the place and asked if that was his final answer on the matter. He got really nasty at that point — started yelling at me and called me a jerk for even suggesting that he could have lost something. Unbelievable.
So I no longer believe that it’s «never happened before», just that he has never admitted or owned up to it. I obviously will not be going back to a place where they called me names when I calmly asked about something, and would caution you against using the drop-​off service (even though it’s on the cheap side) if you care about getting your clothes back. I guess you get what you pay for.

if you have been hesitant to drop off laundry, do yourself a favor and try mario. the price is low, he works extremely fast and you won’t believe how clean and perfect your clothes are. A+++++++++

Well the day finally happen, when my dryer broke down in my complex and the land lord has yet to be informed about, nor do I think he’ll get around to fixing it soon.
So my clothes were wet, and i wasted another dollar fifty in my broken dryer (apparently can still take money). What’s a single guy to do living in the Sunset? Till I come across this place.
I mainly give this venue a high rating for it’s supreme location for my spot. Taraval is the heartbeat of the Sunset and it is the only way out of that area as well. I go in there, and dry my clothes for a dollar, no bullshit, no fuss.
It would have received a hiring rating if it had A, more parking, and B, more sitting room.

These guys must had just used whatever letters available in picking a name «Spwash»? They also took it over from another company. The owner is always there but isn’t there to help. He runs his washing business out of the coin operated place.
Place is kind of expensive, and there isn’t very many place to fold ones clothes after they are done.

A year later, and I’m still using this place! I’ve already used their Wash N’ Fold service for a handful of times now. Never had any problems or lost clothes!
I meant to update with the hours and phone #, but I can’t remember their phone #/​never had a chance to write it down etc. The hours I forgot as well but like John B. said, they are closed on Wednesday’s. I believe they’re opened at 8:15 AM and close at 9 PM. I really recommended double checking their hours sign though, haha.
I still can’t stop commenting on how nice Mario is! My boyfriend always comes in to pick up the clothes, but he’s always more than willing to help load the laundry in for us too. :)

I have used both Spwash’s washer and dryers, as well as Mario. While it is easy and relatively cheap to use the facilities myself, I much prefer dropping my laundry off for the wash/​fold (at 0.75 a pound!) and spend my time elsewhere. Drop off services are available every day except Wednesday and Mario takes a break from 3:00 — 4:30 about. The laundry has always been ready when he has told me it would be, which is usually the next day. Cash only.

The man who owns the laundromat is so NICE. He always smiles and greets you when you walk in, and he once chased me down a block because I dropped a sock on the way out. Love this place.

This review is for their laundromat services, not their drop-​off services.
I went to this place based on the reviews, which it sounds like most use their drop-​off services. I’ve always had a washer and dryer where I live so July was the first month I’ve had to use a laundromat. I’ve been to several around the City and in San Diego where I moved from, and unfortunately, this was the least nicest of them all.
It’s definitely not bad, it’s just small. There’s only a few carts, few places to sit, no TV, no Wi-​Fi (that I’m aware of). Parking can be tricky and it’s metered right out front. The machines are fairly nice and clean, but I’ve used better. My clothes came out of the washer wetter than usual. It’s almost as if they they only spun for a few minutes. I hang dry a lot of my clothes to prevent shrinkage and so the colors last longer. So when my clothes come out this wet, it takes a LONG time to hang dry. I bring hangers in to hang on the carts while my other clothes dry, but there’s not enough carts to take one up the entire time you’re there. On the other hand, the dryer worked well for the clothes I did machine dry. Even though my clothes were wetter than usual, the dryer fully dried them in less time than usual. Prices for washing and drying are cheaper than most.
Overall, this isn’t a bad place if you need to do a quick load and you live in the neighborhood. I wouldn’t come out of my way to use their machines. I might eventually try the drop-​off services. The thing is, I saw the owners using the same machines that everyone else uses, so other than a time advantage, I don’t see any other reason to drop-​off my clothes here. It’s not like they are being washed in a better commercial machine or anything. The owners seem nice though and hard-​working. I’ll probably be back, but I’m still on the hunt for the «ideal» laundromat, if there is such a thing.

This is the first laundromat I’ve ever used. Weird, right? Well coming from Mommy’s house with an in-​house washer and dryer to an apartment without one, I was a little worried that I would be sitting for EVER in a laundromat.
First things first: I had to remember to calm down– it’s not like I was doing 50 loads of laundry. AND, I could do multiple loads at once. Huzzah!
Second: it was dead. Just my BF and I doing laundry. Granted, it was a Wednesday morning… but that was pretty nice. Eased of my weird anxiety of washing my chonies in pooblic.
Third: Wash is $ 2.00 and Dry is $.25 every 8 minutes (you’ll need .75−1.00 for dry stuff). All in all, it took us less than $ 15. (We had just moved and had a TON of crap to wash.)
Super close to my house, super clean, SUPER cool/​nice guy that owns and runs the place.

Spwash has made my life infinitely easier. I have a laundry room, but after using Spwash, I don’t consider doing my own laundry. I rationalize also that it doesn’t cost much more to drop off laundry than do it yourself; I don’t have to buy softener, detergent, or dryer sheets, and time is money. So in the long run, all costs are marginal.
I use the drop-​off wash and fold service at Spwash. Spwash charges $ 0.75/lb, and is the cheapest rate I’ve seen in the city. Cash only. The minimum for drop-​off is 10 lbs.
Drop-​off hours are everyday, except Wednesdays. 8:30 am — 7 pm on weekdays, and 8 am — 7 pm on weekends. There are no drop-​offs at 3 — 4:20 pm daily, for break.
The service is excellent! Mario is the owner and/​or manager, I’m assuming. He is super friendly and helpful. I bring my laundry in, he weighs it, gives me a slip, and that’s it. I’m in and out in 2 minutes! Sometimes I don’t even wait for the weighing and slip, like when I’m illegally parked, and Mario just takes care of it without any problems. When I pick-​up, he always asks if I need help, and is happy to walk around the block to my car to help carry the load. Mario is great, and I’m so happy with the overall experience.
I have never had a mix-​up, or damaged or lost anything. The laundry is folded nicely, and socks and unmentionables get wrapped in light blue paper.
I have never used the coin service laundry machines, but there are plenty. The laundry is clean and very spacious, and is never crowded.
Thank you, Spwash and Mario, for making this one errand a pleasure and not a hassle.

My girlfriend and I use Spwash’s drop off laundry service. Mario is so fast and friendly and we’ve never had any issues with lost or damaged garments.
We have access to free laundry machines at my residence and we still prefer to use his service. I think that says it all.

This place is the closest laundromat for me, but I’d make a trek to come here. It’s run by a VERY friendly man who is around almost all the time that they are open. The place is simple and clean inside with lots of room to fold clothes (if you’re into that). They have a lot of top-​load washers and a smallish selection of front-​load, but I’ve never had a problem finding what I need.
I’ve tried other places in the neighborhood and they’re fine, but this place is a gem. Plus as many others have mentioned the wash and fold service is relatively inexpensive and super convenient.
Go here, and support somebody that deserves your busines!

Lots of available washers and dryers, with varying washer size depending on how many clothes you have. They seemed clean. Very reasonably priced.
I needed to change my dollar bills for coins, and when the machine wouldn’t accept my old, wrinkled dollar bills, the owner was very kind and changed my money out of his register in his office.
They have carts, but you have to be careful around the washer/​dryer area because there’s a large dip/​decline in the floor (for a small drain) that your cart will roll towards if you don’t keep a foot by the wheel to stop it.
If you want to wait there for your laundry to finish, the seating options aren’t too stellar. There are some patio-​type plastic chairs, and a narrow bench or two. It suffices, but it’s not the most comfortable. Bring a cushion to sit on if you are bothered by things like that.
There is folding service offered. I didn’t use it, but someone came in to pick their folded clothes up while I was waiting for my clothes to finish their cycle, and they looked very nice.

There’s a laundromat on my block, but I tote my clothes an extra half mile each way because Spwash is far far far better than the Lost Sock. Yay!
This laundromat is blessed with a caring and industrious manager. The wash-​and-​fold service is, in my opinion, a steal at $ 0.75/lb. And while I’m happy to sit back in the plastic chairs, reading a magazine, and folding my laundry in a clean, friendly place like this every other weekend, Manuel does a much better job of my laundry than I do.
If you do tend your own clothes, there’s a park, a library, a Walgreens, vegetable grocer, liquor store and a bar all on the block, and cafes and restaurants one more block away.

I’m not very good at doing my own laundry. For some reason, Laundry 101 wasn’t offered at my high school (although Meth 101 & Weed 420 were). When I was younger, my mom did my laundry and then when I got older, my housekeeper always did it for me.
Going away to school was a traumatic experience, filled with mis-​matched socks and shrunken sweaters.
For some reason, I have never been able to get comfortable with people looking at my unmentionables in public.
If any stranger is going to see my lacy underroos, I hope it’s here at Spwash. The husband and wife who run this place are amazing.
Case in point: I came here to wash some new bright pink sheets my mother had sent me for my birthday (she must have freaked out when I told her I was turning my bedroom into a Japanese Zen Garden). I left my sheets in the washer and came back to my flat and fell asleep.
Yesterday, I returned 4 MONTHS later and the husband approached me saying, «didn’t you leave some pink sheets here awhile back? I have them folded and ready for you.»
SERIOUSLY?!
What an amazing memory he has. For the past few months I have been too embarrassed to ask permission to search in the lost & found. Then I assumed that some cool mature person had picked up my pink sheets to adorn their own queen-​sized bed with.
If this isn’t excellent customer service, I don’t know what is. $ 1.75 to wash and .$ 75 to dry is very reasonable, and the last wash is at 9:30 on weeknights.
I can’t think of another laundry place where I would rather drop my lacy undergarments on the floor in front of a bunch of snickering high-​school boys.
Hey, has anyone seen my red bra?

What would I do without this Laundromat?
First off, the older dude who works there is so nice. He seems to make friends easy. He remembers me and misses me if I haven’t been there in a while :)
I stopped going for a while because they raised their prices :(
from 1.50 to 1.75 But alas, I had to go back. I had so much laundry, I was on the verge of buying new underwear!
The washers are in good shape and the driers do the job.
If anything gets messed up or if the machines eat your money, you can always rely on the dude to help you out.
I love how nice it is to have someone on-​site to help you out if anything goes wrong. It doesn’t hurt he is very nice with people.
Also, now you can drop off your clothes and have them washed and pick them up later for pretty much as much as it would cost to do it yourself, only you are not! You are hanging out and worry-​free!!! They’ll take care of you!
They also sell detergent, clorox and bounce or you can go next door to Walgreens and get some there.
Across the street you have the library where you can check your e-​mail while your clothes are drying.
I could go to the cheaper laundromat on Taraval and 17^th, but it is not as spacious and friendly as Spwash!
Go get your clothes clean already!
