Somebody gave me the brilliant idea to take the blankets from my king size bed to a laundromat to wash, as every time I washed them at home my washer shook uncontrollably. Since I am a night owl, I looked for the laundromat with the latest, hours and this one was it, with the last load allowed in at 10:30 PM.
When I walked in the smell of mold Was stronger than the smell of laundry, typically one of my favorite smells. To add to this there was standing water throughout the middle of the aisle. The water was brown. I thought twice but push through as I wanted to get the blankets washed. As I looked at the washers I saw obvious filth that had not been addressed in a long time. There was dirt and hair on the outside and crevice of the window and on top of the washer where soap and fabric softener are added. I had made it this far so I persevered, lysol in hand.
When I opened the flap to add soap and fabric softener
the sight is one that I will never be able to unsee. What must have been years of different soaps, liquid and powder, softeners and God knows what else was caked so thick that I could barely pour any soap in. The washers were fast but then I moved on to the dryer...
Through the holes in the drum (I think that is what it is called) I could see dirt, lint, etc. I used the dryers and they dried fast. So.... I'm still seriously debating if I need to go to another laundry mat as there is something very unsettling about "cleaning" your blankets in a FILTHY machine followed by drying them, after they are clean, in a dirty dryer. I was not able to take pics because I was not taking my phone in this facility.
There is a sign on the door that says their hours changed due to vandalism. Honestly, how can you tell this place was vandalized and how can you expect people to treat a facility with respect that looks like this. Smh. Shame on you Robinsons. read more
