It isn't clean but they offer free dryers and Music and the channel is on news in the evening for people to watch as the wash and dry I wish they could hire somebody to clean during the day a lot of the smaller washers are broke I remember back in the day this was a very clean place not many people in this place I am here at night after 530 pm till 9 pm I live walking distance this is the closest for me read more

Washed my bedsheets here... The wash seemed to go well, but when I pulled them out of the dryer they smelled like urine. I tried to explain to the store worker but she pretended not to understand and started shooing me off saying "no refund! no refund!" They do not sanitize or deep clean their machines internally. However, they will go around and wipe the outside with a little wet wipe to appease the covid freaks making you think they're keeping things clean. Yet when you look inside the machines you see green and black mold growing and smell mildew... I should have taken that as a sign. Extremely overpriced. Total cost to wash sheets, pillowcases and a comforter: $22. Money that has now gone down the drain with no apology and no refund... I had to wash them all over again further away at a relative's house but the urine smell would not come out so I ended up having to throw my expensive sheets away. I just couldn't bare the smell. more money lost. I don't know whether the urine smell came from the washers or dryers, so I would not recommend this place altogether. read more

Clean and to the point laundromat. I've never had an issue washing here, it does get a bit crowded on the weekends, but that's expected! Overall great laundromat to have in the neighborhood. read more

This is an inviting spot to get your laundry done. There are several comfy spots to sit and read. The time spent waiting for the cycles to run through flew by. What I like most about this particular laundromat usb that it is owner operated. The service is very accommodating and thoughtful. I love to support these kinds of family run businesses. They make a neighborhood feel like a neighborhood. read more

No small washers are working so you either spend $6 to wash a few things or you let it build up. Otherwise my 3 visits have yielded no complaints; never crowded and the machines don't destroy my clothes like the laundry room in my building. No extras for sale if you run out of detergent or need a laundry bag and no ATM but 53rd is right there. read more

Nothing special but it was clean, the woman behind the counter was able to make change for me, she sold me just the two dryer sheets I needed, and there were a variety of washer sizes. They offer a laundry drop-off service and dry cleaning. Street parking. read more

See all

The second time here and my mother had a bad experience where she had to pay twice cause the first time the machine took her money. Unfortunately the attendant didn't want to refund my mother stating that it's how the machine works. So a washer that would normally be $6 and some change my mom paid $12 for. They were not helpful whatsoever ... whats customer service . read more

I hardly write reviews on Yelp, but feel the need to do so after reading the review below me. My Hyde Park apartment had a sad excuse for a laundry facility - the laundry room was in the basement, and you needed to go outside rain or shine to reach it. My apartment's dryer also needed TWO drying cycles to completely dry my clothes. I became fed up and this little jewel of a laundromat down the block became my savior. On slow weeks I'd go through the coin wash and dry. But on most weeks, I just dropped my laundry off ($1/lb with 10 lb minimum), and it was cleaned and neatly folded by the next day (or whenever I had time to pick it up). None of my clothing went missing. They also do a fantastic job dry cleaning - I always brought my suits and dry-clean only skirts here. Mother and son run the laundraumat. Both are really friendly, courteous, and care a lot about their customers. If I remember correctly, this place is also cash-only. read more

I feel bad about all the negative reviews for this business. I've been here twice and I had no problems at all with their service. I've been spoiled by drop off service in NY so I've been on the hunt for a place that could do the same for me. Cons: more expensive than NY. It's 1.20/lb with a 10lb minimum. Parking around here can take a minute or two. Pros: no missing clothes, same day turn around available. Only lightly scented detergent, nothing overwhelming or overly harsh Oh and their sign says it's cash only + prepaid for the drop off service, but both times I have forgotten to bring cash and I paid when I picked up. I haven't tried the dry cleaning yet, I guess that's next. read more

The most amazing laundromat in chicago. Li is the lady that is normally there and she is literally one of the nicest people ever and the sweetest as well. I've been going for over two years and she is the only person I trust in chicago with my clothes. Go see Li at this Laundromat!! read more

Do not go to this place. I dropped my sons clothes off for laundry service and the owner either stole or gave all my sons clothes away. After asking for some sort of resolution I was told that I can have a credit for the service I had to beg for compensation for my clothes that are gone and they said I need to speak with their insurance company. throughout the whole process I never received an apology and was even treated like it was my fault that I don't have my clothes. They never tok a ticket or verified a phone number. Bottom line STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE NO REGARD FOR THE CUSTOMER read more

Everything is good BUT the dry cleaners part. Drop off is ok, but know your clothes will be sitting around the laundry room out in the open. The machines are typically all working. They have the convenient over priced items you can purchase if you've forgotten or run out of something like laundry detergent or fabric softener. It's not horrible as far as laundry matt's go. Pick another cleaners- they ruined my shirt and then forgot how to speak English. read more

Clean, well lit, and surrounded by good neighborhood restaurants. A great option while we were on our road trip.

Dropped off laundry for a fluff and fold, and she seemed annoyed at the business...I won't be back...

I really like this spot as opposed to other overpacked locations in the area (hint-hint). The space is calm and they have tvs so you can watch a game or movie while waiting on your laundry. There is also a Harolds close by and CVS in case you need snacks while you are waiting. Really low key spot and the people that work there are kind (most important). I will keep coming read more

This is my very first review about anything and the best way to express my thoughts about my experience at Harper & 53rd Launder. I took a white comforter to this Cleaner/Laundry for laundry service. After they washed the comforter I picked it up and returned home with it. I immediately put it on my bed and noticed it was still not clean. I returned to the cleaners with it and pointed out the area that was still not clean and the young man working immediately got defensive and said I should have pointed that out when I dropped it off; with this reaction I immediately realized I was in wrong establishment and calmly guided the conversation in a direction where I could offer some customer service advise and left the establishment explaining I would attempt to get the stain out myself. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I had to do 7 loads of bedding. The machines worked well, I was able to manage it all with 3 "Super" front-loading machines and one large machine. Super machines cost $5, large cost $3. Cycles were quick. Dryers all worked well, I used 4 (one quarter for 10 min). Both the change machine and the detergent vending machine were broken, but I was able to get $20 of quarters from the really nice, really busy woman there. She also sold me a small bottle of detergent. The place is clean, especially the floor and that is important to me because I drop clothes a lot. read more
