Teele Square Laundromat

Clean, not too busy. Nice area if you want to pop out for a bite to eat or run errands. Helpful staff.
Ridiculously sensitive cash-​coin machine. But the staff helps you

This laundromat is a gem! The owners are very helpful and they are very approachable as well. They will help you with the simplest things and they always have a smile on their face!
Most of their machines are new and seemed to be cleaned everyday!
I used their W/​D/​F services and they finished is quickly and on time, professionally, and conveniently.
If you guys have laundry or want extra services for laundry or drop and pick up services, I would 100% recommend this laundromat! It’s very convenient and very professional!
Also, their dry cleaning is great as well! Great pricing considering other places, and they get their job done! Go here if you want professionalism and great work. Very happy with this place!!!

pppppsssshhhh. Worst Laundromat ive used so far. Typically I use the one in Powderhouse, but everytime i do, i get sick from my clothes, as if the people who used the washers before me are cleaning pissed and pooed in pants. but thats besides the point. this is about Teele.
First off their washers are a mosh posh of random washers, some old, some new, some only do cold, some only do hot. its a real fiasco trying to figure out if you have to empty the washer you just filled because its stuck on «perm press only».
Once my loads are done theyre ICE cold. Utterly freezing. I dont think warm or hot water was used in their washing at all EVEN if the washer says it. Better buy cold water detergent!
then come the dryers. hahahahahahaha what a joke. I put my load in the dryer, put in 60 minutes worth of quarters!!! usually it takes 35 – 40 anywhere else… 60!!! here, and guess what??? they were STILL WET. I toss them back in for another 12 minutes taking out the dryest stuff to let the «hot» air get the the dampest. 12 minutes go by, STILL AS DAMP!!! I put my hand inside, the clothes were «slightly» warm and the metal interior wasnt hot at all. its as if the temperatures are stuck at «low» no matter what you select. Better be prepared to only dry 4 articles at once for 90 minutes.
This place is a scam. Youre not getting anything you pay for. Im sure if you had testers go in and do a surprise examination you may find the owners shut off hot water and rig the dryers to save on costs.
Go somewhere else where the washers use HOT water and the dryers use HOT air. this place stinks

This place gets it right every time and if they don’t, they’ll fix it.
I first came to them with a pair of chinos and a jacket. Both had set-​in (washed and dried) grease stains. Within three days my clothes were back to me, pressed, and looking pristine… for $ 16. Unbeatable.
The second time I brought a formal dress that had some light water spots. When I came to pick it up, the spots weren’t gone, but almost appeared worse. When I pointed them out, the worker warned me they cannot ever guarantee to get out a stain, but she offered to re-​launder the dress anyway. Upon picking it up a week later, it looked absolutely good as new.
Between their friendly staff, endless hours, and low prices, I would recommend this place over just about anywhere!

The pick up and delivery laundry service is so convenient and affordable. The owner is very flexible in finding a good time for you to have the laundry picked up and dropped back off. The laundry is returned beautifully folded and sorted. The problem was it didn’t smell that great and a few of my clothing items actually had strange stains on them. The stains came out once I washed the clothes myself.

Open until 10pm every day of the week! It personally takes me the majority of the day to convince myself that fishing worn underwear out of my hamper is a no go, so I’m thankful I live close to a ‘mat that stays open late.
Friendly staff, fair prices, TV, and free wifi.
They have a nice variety in machines too. One time one of the dryers I was using wouldn’t turn off after the time expired, so I had a hilarious time trying to snag my tumbling clothes out of the drum while it was still rotating. After getting most of the flying clothes out without too much trouble, there were a few socks left cycling around that I couldn’t grab without banging my arm against the drum. Despite my penchant for danger and adventure, I asked an employee to shut the thing down so I could retrieve my socks and be on my way.

They returned a 20 $ bill. Yup. Washed, dried and returned. We used their pick-​up/​drop-​off service and was shocked to see a clean 20 dollar bill on top of our folded laundry. In addition to being honest, they are also very nice and fairly priced.

I used to haul my laundry around in a backpack and do it at the home of kind friends who have responsible grown-​up housing with a washer dryer. Then I had a baby which quadrupled the rate of dirty laundry accumulation and reduced the free laundry-​doing time I had to less than zero. Teele Square Laundromat saved my life. They’ve been picking up and delivering my laundry for a year now.
The owners are kind, friendly, accomodating, and they know me by name. My clothes come back clean and beautifully folded within 24 hours, I get to pick the soap and specify no dryer sheets, and their rates are very reasonable — I would pay more if they asked for it. I actually look forward to stopping there on my way home to pay my bill. And they have never lost a single thing, not one tiny sock. After all the grossly dirty clothes they have cleaned for me in the last year (did I mention I have a baby?), I feel like they’re practically members of the family.
Try them. They will make your life better.

Good, reliable laundromat open 8 am to 10 pm every single day. It had a good variety of washers for smaller loads– larger loads. Also, I just recently tried their tailoring services and really enjoyed my perfectly altered skirts and pants. It made me so happy to get my clothes back fitting just right– was like buying new clothes but cheaper (it was about $ 12 to shorten each one).

I’ll admit that one of the deal breakers for me when looking for an apartment is whether or not it has a washer/​dryer in unit. Alas, when on the hunt for my most recent residence, we found a place that was absolutely perfect but lacked in laundry machinery. I cried. Then my would-​be landlord said something magical: «There is a laundromat across the street». At first, I was angry. I’m busy. I’m lazy. In combination, this makes doing laundry impossible for me. Throw in having to walk to a laundromat to do it? Forget it. I’ll just go around naked when I run out of clean clothes. Still, we signed the lease and crossed our fingers.
Fast forward a few weeks later when I was down to my last few pairs of boxer briefs (don’t judge, they offer the support of tighty-​whities with the leg coverage of boxers), and I needed to give in to the laundromat lifestyle. I walked out the door, dirty clothes and hamper in hand, and crossed the street. Literally 6 seconds later I had arrived at Teele Square Laundromat. Okay, fine. Not bad.
The person working there that day must have sensed my naivety, because they were quick to show me the ropes. Change machine here, detergent dispenser there, various washers/​dryers here and there, and lots of et cetera everywhere. The place was pretty clean considering people come here do deposit the filth from their sweaty and dirty clothes. Perfect. Let’s do this.
This is where the math part of my review kicks in. Something I had not realized is how much time it takes to do laundry at a laundromat. Let me be more specific: it takes soooo much less time. Usually I wait until the last minute to wash my clothes, and have three loads. That makes 3 washer loads, and 3 dryer loads, for a total of 6 loads. Here (and obviously at any other L’mat), I was able to wash everything together and then dry everything together because some machines are so large. I cut my laundry from an all day affair to just under 70 minutes. HOW HAD I NEVER CONSIDERED THIS?
This place also has a washing/​folding service at a little over a dollar per pound of clothes. I’m not sure I like the idea of someone else messing with my unmentionables, but better them than me. I’ll definitely be using this service next time around.
In conclusion, most of this review has more to do with my clothes washing habbits than Teele Square Laundromat. Frankly, I’m surprised you are still reading, you weirdo.

I love the pick up/​drop off service of Teele Sq. Laundromat!!! Very pro, very kind and responsible. Someone really has to go out of their way for me to want to write an awesome review as I’m putting my laundry away. They definitely do.

I wonder if its half price to just get my stuff folded. That’s the part i hate. I really really really really hate doing laundry. Once when the machine in my building was down I decided to take a 30 second trip over here.
With quarters in hand I was ready to sit down in a sweaty gross laundromat and daze myself while watching my clothes spin in circles. That was of course until I saw that they would do it for me for the low price of $ 1.10 /​pound. My 25 LBS of clothing would take at least 3 loads and an entire day in my 1 weak ass machine. Now I can save all that time and have people do all of this for me once every 3 weeks for under 30 bucks and my stuff gets perfectly folded unlike the half retarded way my clothes come out when I do it myself.
This is completely worth is to someone who values their time as much as I do. Now I can have that time to grocery shop, hit the gym, or down a bottle of Jameson and black out. Wooo!

I’m one of the four people in Arlington who doesn’t have a washer and dryer on the premises, and one of the 18 who doesn’t own a car, so Teele Square Laundromat’s pick up and delivery service is a godsend. They pick up and deliver when they say they will, and have done huge amounts of laundry for me overnight. My garments are beautifully laundered and folded and carefully encased in clear plastic which protects my laundry as it sits on my back porch which is open to the elements.
The best thing of all is that I don’t spend any more than I would spend to do my laundry myself and I’m saved the indignity of hauling two trash bags 7 blocks down the street and invariably losing socks and undies on the way.
If you use the delivery service, be sure to leave a tip. The delivery dude deserves it just for hauling my stuff up a steep flight of steps to my back door and all of the staff are very pleasant.

This is a *great* laundromat and dry cleaners.
— All the machines work
— The facilities and machines are clean
— The attendants and owners are very nice
— If there are machines they don’t want you to use (because they’re using them for their cleaning business), the machines are well marked so you don’t have any confusion about it
— It recently became a «green» dry cleaning business.
— Free Wi-​Fi !!!
— No annoying music. If the TV’s making you crazy, they’ll turn it off. Sometimes it’s not even on.
— I’ve also used the cleaning service twice for big loads of sheets and towels, and they didn’t mind when I wanted to use my own soap. They put my name on it and returned it to me when I came back to do my own wash a week later.
All in all, just a great place, unlike their competition down a few blocks, Kirkland Cleaners. Sadly, I’m closer to Kirkland Cleaners and go there sometimes if I’m in a rush. But after just one too many bad experiences there, I will always make the trip to Teele Sq. Laundromat. It’s worth the time.

They remembered my name and spelled it correctly when dropping off my dry cleaning — even though I hadn’t been in 4 – 5 weeks.

Update: New ownership, same service. Jay is gone, but the new owner is just as nice and there has been no noticeable change in service.
My mother doesn’t drive, so the free laundry pick-​up/​delivery is a huge selling point (for her, since it’s convenient, and for me, since I don’t have to drive her to get her laundry done). Even without the delivery, though, the service is amazing! Jay is always nice, and he goes out of his way to be accommodating. Everything that gets sent out comes back clean and meticulously folded. At $ 1 a pound ($ 10 minimum), it’s a great deal for the type of service.

I’ve been using Teele Square Laundromat’s pickup/​delivery service for a few years now, back when it was under a different owner. When Jay took over the business I saw a tangible improvement in the quality of my service!
Jay knows me as soon as I say «Rao from Arlington.» I provide my own detergent and white vinegar because I’m a no-​fragrance laundry hippie, and he’s been very accommodating. I really feel well-​treated by the company. The cost for convenience? I fill two large mesh bags full of dirty laundry and it appears on my porch the next day for around $ 30. I have priced other delivery services, and Teele Square is a great deal for high-​quality, friendly service.
My large piles of t-​shirts are happily folded and my socks are always two by two. YAY happy laundry!

walk in service:
I’ve been going here for about 3 years. when i started, the machines were cheap, nicely maintained and best of all a very reasonable price. no, it wasn’t the prettiest place, but you got what you came for without any hassle including a dose of two and a half men re-​runs (take it as you will). these days it’s a sad and different story. the last few times i was silly enough to try them again more than half the machines were reserved by the owners and a good deal of the remaining ones were broken. out of the non-​broken ones being used — and these were not busy nights — there were only 2 of the more expensive machines left. i should take the time now to mention that in the last 3 years (and since new ownership) the price has gone up $.50 for the cheapest machines, the dryers from 8 mins/$.25 to 6 mins.
needless to say I now do my laundry up the street. the price is exactly the same, but the machines are newer, available to walk in patrons, and get this… they work!

I’ve been to three Laundromats in Somerville so far, and Teele Square is tops in every metric — cheapest, most open space for sorting and folding, best hours, operating change machine, and closest to my house. (NOTE: MAY NOT BE CLOSEST TO YOUR HOUSE.)
Also, I am in it right now on my laptop, which I can do because it has wireless that works. The only thing worse than a place without wireless is a place with wireless that never works. Teele Square Coin Op is neither of those things.
I haven’t done any of the pay-​someone-​else-​to-​do-​your-​laundry-​you-​lazy-​bastard stuff; just sitting around, waiting for my stuff to get wet and then get dry again. I did do some dry-​cleaning, which seemed to work fine. Of course the clothes didn’t really look dirty in the first place either, so they might have just wrapped them in bags for all I know.
Five stars!

I live right over the border in Arlington and my place doesn’t have a washer/​dryer. I usually haul everything 4 blocks to the local coin-​op place and do it myself.
I’ve had a few friends recommend drop-​off services, but I don’t have a car, so I wasn’t able to go that route. I figured I’d call these guys and see if they would pick up at my place if I wasn’t out of their delivery area. Thankfully, I’m close enough and I’ve had them do my laundry twice, now. Both times, it’s all come back in great shape, carefully folded and sealed up in clear bags and my pants have been on hangers! I can throw them right back in the closet, that way.
Definitely suggest that you tell them (leave a note) how you want things washed, though. I suggested Permanent Press and low heat for everything, having heard horror stories about services shrinking everything. I’ve had no troubles, so far.
If you’re sick of hauling your laundry and want an inexpensive (0.95 a pound) alternative, give them a try!
