Sweet Laundry

Clean, friendly and efficient. What else do you need? (besides working laundry machines in your apartment)
$ 3.50 per wash, $ 0.25 per 6min of drying

Neighborhood laundry, open 7 days a week. Has a vintage feel to it. Owners are laid back, helpful. Not a lot of chairs, 3 smallish folding tables. Can get crowded and hard to navigate the laundry carts.

The Tide has turned and a (Fe)breeze is blowin’! Jokes aside, this place has improved so much under the new management. The effort it took me to remember my password to an account I haven’t accessed in a year says it all: I feel morally obligated to update my previous review because the new owners are super friendly, the place is exceptionally clean, and now there are cute bear decorations everywhere. The prices are still the same as before ($ 3.50 per cold wash), otherwise I’d have given it five stars.
Sweet dreams, cheapskates, you’ve been hung out to dry!

Great place. Very clean, well maintained machines (brand new ones installed starting summer ’15), air conditioned for those hot summer days in case you want to do the laundry yourself, enjoy the free wifi while you are at it, owned and staffed by one of the friendliest couple you will meet.

What service! Quick, and very organized place. I dropped off at 10am and got my wash and fold by 5:30pm. 1.10 a pound in case you’re wondering. I am sold! :)

The new owners are fantastic. So friendly and professional, and such a breath of fresh air compared to the disinterested/​sullen service that was becoming the norm under the previous management. The new owners have really cleaned things up, and the whole place just feels brighter and friendlier.
They’re open til 9 every day with last load in at 7:45 (would love a bit later since I tend to be a nighttime laundry person, but it’s nice that they’re consistent). For self-​serve coin op: the change machine is reliable, and they always have a little stack of paper trays you can use if you need something to hold your quarters. Current magazine selection, clean folding tables, and they let me borrow one of their flip n fold things one time, which was fun. When the weather’s nice, there’s a shady park up the street where you can read the paper and watch people’s dogs and/​or children running around. But about their wash-​dry-​fold: SO GOOD. It’s always ready by the next afternoon, even if you drop off right before closing time, and it is just *flawless*. I’ve done wash-​dry-​fold at other places and felt like it was fine enough, but this is something else. I seriously have to rave. My laundry is always folded AND sorted completely perfectly, and it makes putting away my clothes 10 0000x faster. I do not know how it is possible to fold clothing so much better than I am able to, but they really do SUCH a better job than I am able to. I never thought a laundry service could make such a difference, but they’re so good!
I haven’t tried their pickup and delivery service yet, but I almost feel like it would be too much amazing and I might die of happiness.

Clean, well lit, all the machines work, and the owners are very friendly. Free wifi, you can buy soft drinks and detergent, there’s also a bathroom, folding tables, and magazines. What more can you ask for?! Highly recommend!

I’ve lived two minutes up the street from Sweet for six years. I recently decided to give their wash/​dry/​fold service a shot as I hate doing laundry. I could not be any more happy with the service I have received. I think I am up to 5 – 6 visits already and every time I’m greeted pleasantly and warmly. I pick up my perfectly cleaned and folded laundry as if I just bought them new. The pricing is fair and rivals the cost of my in unit laundry if you factor in my time, quarters, and detergent. No more hoarding quarters and taking multiple trips down four flights of stairs to my outdated sub-​par washer/​dryer. I signed up for Unilocal just to write this because it has changed my life for the better. My only wish was that I did this years ago. Give Sweet a chance, it’s worth it!

I was very nervous reading the reviews of the angry owner, but this place has been under new management for awhile! My girlfriend and I were dreading having to lug our laundry down to the laundromat (we sadly lost our in-​unit laundry with our last move), but doing laundry here as been as pleasant as it can be. The new owner is very nice, and all the machines work just fine and dandy. He’s also working on replacing some of the older washers, so that’s a plus too! We do drop-​off here every other week, and the clothes come back clean and beautifully folded.

I’m updating my review again because I’ve has such good experiences with the place ever since Jason, the new owner, took it over. As I noted before, he is so nice and considerate to all of his customers, and he also replaced all the bad machines. Everyone who works there is more than happy to assist if there is any issue. I recommend this neighborhood laundromat– it’s now the best one in the area!

The new owners have turned this business around. The other reviewer is right, they really appreciate feedback.
It’s much cleaner than before. They installed a portable air conditioner. Everyone is friendlier and faster. And somehow they fold the laundry different enough from the previous owners that I have more space in my bureau with the same clothes. They also take Discover card which the others never did.
The daughter is very sweet and professional. The owner’s name is Jason. Introduce yourself, he’s the friendliest guy you’ll know.

All I can say is DO NOT HAVE YOUR CLOTHES DRY CLEANED HERE.
I had just moved to the area and my clothing was shipped to me. It smelled musty so I took it in. Of the 17 pieces I took in, 7 came back shrunken.
I calmly and politely spoke with the owner over the phone, and he said he could have them stretched back. After four weeks of phone tag and several cancellations on his part, the owner finally met with me. You see he doesn’t keep regular hours at the store — and that’s on purpose he says.
When I went to pick up my «repaired» clothes (it was not ready until days later than the promised date) not all of it was back to size. In fact, some of it had changed shape in other ways (now instead of the shoulders being tight, the sleeves were short). I frankly and diplomatically told him this and he lost it. He raised his voice at me in the establishment.
He kept claiming that his service could not have done what I was saying. I don’t know if he is in denial, or if he thinks I am making all this up. Somehow he thinks that he would know how my clothes fit before I brought it in better than I would. He kept saying next time you bring your clothes in, please «tell us». Tell them what? That I expect it to be the same size when it’s done? A next time is very unlikely.
Now I’m out the $ 130 I paid in dry cleaning fees, plus the cost of replacing my clothes. Like I said, I would strongly recommend taking your dry cleaning else where. If I could put zero stars for this establishment I would.
On a side note, the restroom had an out of order sign every time I was there.

Clean, excellent location, and the owner is a great guy!

I used to go here a lot and recently started going back, but with their recent raise in rates, I think I’ll be finding somewhere else to take my business.
My last laundry trip there:
–I fit two loads into two of the larger washers there, which cost $ 5.50 each to wash.
–Those two loads fit in 3 driers, which cost $ 2 each to dry MOST of my laundry at 25 cents for four minutes of drying.
= $ 17 for two large-​ish loads of laundry to wash, dry, and fold it myself.

I loooove this place. I drop off my stuff, they weight it, give me a ticket and I am on my way. I usually drop off darks, lights, and sheets and for wash, dry and fold its almost always approx 15 bucks. I tried to do the same amount of laundry myself at a place off Prospect, and spent 18 dollars and had to stay there whole time and fold it all myself.
The younger woman who is usually with her daughter is very sweet and helpful. The older woman is definitely a little bit more money minded.
I brought in a doggie bed cover and a couple of my dogs blankets that were only 1 small load. I asked her to run them through the wash 2 times, and was told it would be 20 dollars since they have a 10 dollar minimum and I would be running it twice. I tried to haggle down to the 15 dollar average that I usually pay for 3+ loads of laundry but she was firm about it. When I did get his stuff back, i didnt open the bag right away, and since she left the stuff a little damp, it did not smell very clean. That experience definitely put me off a bit, because for 20 bucks for one load, I should hope you dry it long enough so it doesnt mildew or mold if its not picked up right away.
Bottom line, the place is great for your average laundry needs and cannot be beat for 95 cents a pound. Also, they literally do it right away, so same day service for that price is pretty sweet!

Love this place. I’m always greeted with a smile, drop off my nasty laundry, pick it up the next day, pay less than $ 1 a pound, and then I’m off with a basket of nicely folded, non-​staticy, gorgeous clothes.
I’ve never used the machines myself, so regarding them I have no comment.

I must admit, I am impressed. I went in hopeful, but trying not to get my expectations up… and I’m incredibly impressed.
The woman at the front has a very heavy accent so yes, if you call the phone number you will probably have a difficult time. However, she was so nice and helpful when I came in to drop off my trashbags of laundry. I was able to pay by credit card (!!) and was told to come back just a few short hours later (less than 4) to pick it up. And though I came back 20 minutes before the assigned time, there were my clothes, all nicely folded in a bag with my name on the slip.
I have seriously paid more money in a laundromat attempting to clean (mostly dry) the same amount of clothing. This is my new affordable luxury. Screw doing my own laundry, I’m dropping it off! Now if only I could find someone to put it away for me…

I found this place through Unilocal and was excited to see a well reviewed place near my apartment. I’ve tried 3 times to give this place my business, but they are too disorganized to do it. The lady who picks up the phone
1) barely speaks english
2) is useless
She offered to take my phone number twice so the «owner» can call me back. He never did. I tried again today, and apparently he works when he feels like it, and is the only person who can setup or talk to you about delivery dry-​cleaning. This place is a complete joke.

THEY DO MY LAUNDRY FOR ME! I GIVE THEM DOLLARS!
I give this place my stinky clothes. I come back a while later and they are clean and folded! All this for less than $ 1/​lb! THIS HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!

i went here for the 1^st time and didn’t know what to expect. i found it through Unilocal,thank u and came here because of my location. The reviews didn’t help much because there were too many mixed comments about this place on other Unilocal from different cleaners. I didn’t know who to trust. obviously, i couldn’t conclude from here cause they were only 2 reviews before me; now there is 3 but after u read this, you’ll need nothing more! + their folding is GREAT!!! Placed carefully in the plastic bag.
well, I’m here to set the record on them! THEY ARE GOOD, THEY ARE QUICK, THEY ARE NICE, & the PRICING IS NOW $ 0.92 per LB.
i brought in 22 lbs. and was asked if i wanted to pick it up on sat. and I came in on a Thurs. that’s quick if you ask me…
I will be coming here until i move them somerville…
p. s. you get receipts, they is nothing shady about this place…
