My freshman year of college and on the first day of ECON 2116, I'm sitting in class and my…read moreprofessor said something to me, the enormity of which, I would not fully comprehend until a few decades later. He continued that in this class we would learn about supply/demand curves, calculating present value analysis, and Game Theory. But before all that, he said, if there was nothing else that we left his class with it was this basic truism: "The majority of financial decisions you make in life, can be simplified into trading your time for money." Sounds simple enough, and as a somewhat know-it-all 18 yr old, I thought my prof was full of crap, but now I see how accurate that statement was. Should I take a few extra minutes the night before to prep my food to brown bag lunch or spend $10-$15 eating out? Spend 1-2 hours mowing my lawn, bagging my yard clippings, and collecting leaves - or - spend $100-$200/month on a lawn service. Use my 10 yr old Mr. Coffee machine and a bag of Kirkland brand coffee or make a Starbucks run in the morning? Or as referenced in this review, spend 1-2 hours during the weekend to wash and iron my "work clothes," or use a dry cleaner? Pre-Pandemic, I would schlep into my office 4 days a week in downtown DC and 10 months out of the year, I had to either wear a shirt/tie or a suit. Not that I minded that, but I HATED having to wash and press my own shirts. Dress slacks are easy...men's shirts are a pain. You gotta remember to pre-treat the the collar, and no matter how much starch I sprayed or times I went over a section of the sleeve, the garment would still be a bit "wrinkly." I started using Sandy's Cleaners around 2017 and have a loyal customer ever since. Small local family owned business, and believe it or not, all of the garments are actually cleaned there ON-SITE!!! Most dry cleaners actually send their clothes out to an off-site facility where they are bulk cleaned. Not at Sandy's. There is a plant on the premises, and the friendly folks have always done a great job with my professional wardrobe. What I especially like, is if there is a particularly challenging stain, they will examine said stain and let you know if it can be removed or not. 9 times of out 10, they've been able to get out that errant coffee drip or ketchup splatter on my shirt...but if they can't, they let me know ahead of time. Now that I'm back in my office 2-3 days a week, I find myself dropping stuff off here again on a weekly basis; which is not a big deal since this is just a short detour from my weekly COSTCO run which is 5 min away. Could I go back to laundering and pressing my own shirts at home...sure, but why would I want to "waste" a perfectly good Sunday evening doing this chore when I can outsource it for a reasonable fee? Admittedly, my professor's "advice" was his take on the old "time is money" adage, but his words have held much value as I've progressed through life. Note: Sandy's only accepts cash and personal check. As of this review, men's shirts are $1.85 which is also cheaper than most other places.

We shop at TJs so knew it was pretty new and very well maintained from the outside. I've never been to a laundromat before and the employees were extremely helpful. The location is clean although a few of the washing machines did not smell fresh. I came in mid-afternoon and there were plenty machines available. I found the cost to be a little high but I honestly don't know what the normal cost is, sigh. The employees helped me with the washing machine and I put my money on the wrong dryer and had to move my clothes. When I have heavy items to launder, I would come back. It's worth noting, it is HOT outside but cool in here, even with all the dryers going. Pleasant surprise and very much appreciated.

The wash and fold service is priced at $1.50/lb, and the feeling of not having to wash and fold three weeks of laundry for two people was priceless. It was so convenient to drop off, and pick up my freshly cleaned laundry. The staff that helped me were nice, and asked a few questions about laundry/washing and drying preferences. The facilities are also super clean. They have many sizes of machines, so I can definitely see myself bringing my bedding and comforters to wash myself, as they are a bit bulky for my at home machine. I can't rave enough about the wash and fold service. The time I saved was critical for me to run errands I fell behind on. Definitely would recommend this laundromat.
