I spoke to the owner and to the employees several times. They were all very agressive, and the owner didn't offer anything to make up for his carelessness and I had to say bye to my tailor-made shirt. Will never be back and I advise you not to go either!

Forget the washing machine: upfront and installation costs and as well as the consistent water and electricity bills. Then you have to wait for the clothes to dry. Express washing and drying at its best. Arrive, be greeted by a pleasant person (the owner is lovely) pay him cash, and come back when you say you will come back to picked up your washed clothes. Even if its an hour later, that's fine. Get on with your life, no waiting for your clothes to be washed and dried at coin operated laundries that charge a similar price. This establishment is awesome.

I've been bringing all my business shirts and suits to this laundry for the past two years and I can highly recommend this place. They also offer alteration service and I got a few shirts tailored here before. Very happy with the result and all reasonably priced. It might looks a bit run down from the outside but the service you receive won't disappoint. Give it a try. Thumbs up from me

This laundromat has the advantage that the laundry lady running it (for the purposes of this…read morereview, lets call her Thelma) recognises her regular customers, and Thelma doesn't make judgmental comments on the state of your underwear or your holy jeans. But here's a Seinfeld dilemma about Abercrombie Street Laundrette: My boyfriend (who, for the purposes of this review, we shall call Cicero) was a regular customer of Abercrombie St Laundrette, in our pre-washing-machine days. Late last year, Cicero gave this laundromat a basket of clothing, asking for the usual, a wash and fold. When he came to retrieve it, the laundry man (lets call him Philbert) showed Cicero how there was a blue biro in the washing load, and blue ink got all over everything. Philbert made it abundantly clear that he was not impressed, and it was not his fault at all. Granted - it's Cicero's responsibility to frisk his own shirts of their contents before putting them into be washed. And thoroughness in laundry is not one of Cicero's strong points. BUT ... here's what we're wondering ... do Philbert & Thelma also have some responsibility here? I'm still not sure. Here's the other thing. Cicero always uses black felt-tip pens, not blue biros. So where did the blue pen come from? Philbert stood his ground, despite Cicero's protestations. Everything was stained and Philbert wasn't going to offer free dry cleaning for anything. Cicero still feels a bit hard done by, his meagre wardrobe permanently tainted by a mystery blue ballpoint. But he took his laundry back there the next week, and Thelma smiled at him and unjudgmentally washed his ripped jeans and blue-stained shirts. This all went on until we bought a washing machine (see my review of JL Services). Just a note: This place has strange opening hours ... closing on unpredictable weekdays (sorry I can't remember this precisely, but if you're in a laundry rut on a Tuesday, best to call them first). Best not to refer to them as Thelma and Philbert.

Ok, I know I may have feet the size of an underdeveloped toddler and therefore have quite small socks, but it's never been that hard for me to keep track of them. Why would it be difficult for someone in the laundry profession? Or maybe I am being harsh and there is some mysterious sock disappearing phenomenon over which we can't possibly have any control? Either way, I bet you can guess what happened when I brought my laundry to Hoang Lan. But you know what? I'm not actually as bent out of shape about it as I seem. The ladies who work in here are very nice. They hemmed a pair of my jeans one time and did a good job. They are also pretty quick with turn around. I would recommend them for mending in an instant; just hold those socks of yours near and dear.

And have I mentioned that the dry cleaning is some of the cheapest (although it is cash only) in Sydney? I recently had three items cleaned for $20 with a two business day turn around, and they've gotten out stains that I thought were for sure a new part of my wardrobe. The guy who runs the shop is really nice and always honest about his expectations for stain removal. Cross dry cleaning problems off your list, because we've got this sorted.

Luckily Glebe has a few different laundry services to choose from. In my experience, the best one is Hoang Sanh. There are a couple things I like about this place: I like the fact that they always match my socks up correctly (it's shocking how polka dot with polka dot, paisley with paisley can be such a difficult concept). I like that the male owner has the uncanny ability to fold my t-shirts into the most perfect rectangle one might ever see. I also like the fact that it's a family establishment. I rarely walk in their door without receiving a friendly little RAM into my shin by a 3 year-old driving a plastic car. Lastly, I like the "no judgment" approach to dry cleaning. One time after a particularly huge day / night out, I brought in my favorite white skirt with grass stains all over the back and technicolor cocktail spillage on the front. I gave it to the owner sheepishly with down-cast eyes and a "please, please it's my favorite!" Without even the hint of a scolding, she took it, sorted it out and with 4 two-dollar coins I was able to buy back my dignity a couple days later.
