    Did anyone ever see that movie "Elephant Walk" with Elizabeth Taylor? It's like that..
    Jennifer O.

    #13/2016 With 15 Maytag high efficiency washers and 7 Dexter big-load machines (one seemingly big enough to launder a sofa), The Hayes Laundromat is a solid neighborhood spot when you have to get a lot of laundry done fast- or in my case, launder heavy items like goose down duvets and coverlets that need high capacity washers and very hot industrial dryers to be cleaned and dried properly. The machines are spotless and judging from the empty clang once you deposit your quarters (note to would-be thieves) coins are emptied out regularly. A narrow space that gets steamy once a few dryers are going, The Hayes Laundry would feel cramped, fast, if you were doing laundry in prime time. I got lucky with (unmetered) street parking so I didn't have to haul stuff very far. Not experienced with high efficiency washers, I got frustrated watching a load with one minute to finish tumble dry, then stand still, then tumble dry again and again for 15 minutes, aargh! Clean washers & dryers, average price, they also have a change machine that dispenses tokens good for use only at The Hayes. I recommend.

    The have change machines for 1, 5, 10, & 20 dollar bills and 75c 1 load boxes of detergent.

    This place is PERFECT. It's immaculately clean, it hasn't been busy, and there are 75c one-load detergent boxes. Also - change machines for $1,5,10 & 20 bills. And there is an ATM. MY laundromat for sure.

    The dryer powered off with $5 and wet laundry. Lame.

    As far as laundromat a go, it's okay. Three main problems: 1) The dryer powered off in the middle of a run and ate $5. No one here to fix it; no phone number to call. There was another woman whose money was also taken. 2) The dryers are very particular about how you put quarters in. It took me almost ten minutes to put $15 of quarters in the machine. Too fast, too slow, not enough spin, dropped in with a plop, and the machine rejects the quarter. 3) Extremely expensive. The $2.75 washer is smaller than a bucket. Really a rip off.

    See all

    The current wash and fold prices are awesome (25% discount). And it comes wrapped in nice paper. Turn around time is great as well.

    i recently had some wine stains on my favorite silk dress and I emailed Vernon to see if he could get the stains out.

    CHECK YOUR CHARGES! & WATCH OUT IF YOU'RE A WOMEN BECAUSE THE STAFF WILL YELL IN YOUR FACE!…read more This place charges an automatic $15 for EVERY wash & only 40% of the time does it actually refund you the amount it says it cost. BEWARE OF THE MANAGER WHO HAS A RECEDING HAIRLINE AND GRAY HAIR TRYING TO REACH HIS SHOULDERS. HE IS DISRESPECTFUL AND WILL IMMEDIATELY YELL. Noting that this place SAYS it takes Apple Pay, but it actually doesn't work on ANY machine. They don't warn you at all. They wait until you lugged your laundry there, put it in the wash and put your detergent in for you to find out on your own that Apple Pay actually DOESNT WORK on ANY machine. I voiced my disappointment and suggested they put a sign up or something. I spoke to the balding manager in Spanish to keep my feedback between us. He then went ahead and switched to English on purpose (to belittle me because he assumed I didn't speak English) he raised his voice so loud so that the ENTIRE PLACE could hear him in English, he put his hand in the air and pointed at the door and said "IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!" As a grown woman I have NEVER been yelled that loudly in my life! ( I genuinely feel bad for the women in that mans life, it was waaay to easy for him to default to scream at a women like that). And the short man who was cleaning laughed at me when this happened. Rude men work here!!! All the people in there paused and stared. It was beyond belittling and not a business I will EVER support again. I am part of many Lower Haight communities and have taken the time to tell everyone about this devastating situation this man/business put me in. AND ON WOMENS MONTH! My neighbors and I have now bought a washer and dryer and share it between the building so now nobody goes here. But if you must, I recommend The Hayes Laundry or Fiesta Laundry, who has parking and charges you exactly the price to see displayed. After this I checked my charges and they have been charging me $15 per wash 40% of the time without any refund. They have been stealing money from their customers this entire time. Respect women and your customers!

All but the detergent dispenser with individual boxes of Tide and the like were quarters-only; the washers and dryers accept both coins and credit cards, convenient! It took a few times to swipe my card at the correct angle but I got it. Dryers were HOT so $0.25 for 5 minutes went far. All our clothes were dry in 25 minutes, maybe 30 for heavy towels and jeans. Free parking out back, easy to load up and drive off. Pressed for time? They offer wash & fold. I'll be back soon to do heavy items like my duvet and comforter where these machines do a better and faster job than the three sad machines in my building. My clothes seem a lot cleaner and the chore, completed much faster.

The staff was super kind, welcoming, & helpful, which made the whole experience even better. I love that they offer multiple ways to pay -- you can use quarters, tap to pay with your debit card, or download the FasCard app, which is super convenient. Not to mention, with every dollar you spend you gain points, that can be used for future discounts. The laundromat itself was very clean, well maintained, & located in a nice, safe part of the city. Lee answered every question I had, gave me very detailed information, & explained everything really clearly. They close at 10 PM, & I didn't finish drying & folding my clothes until around 10:45. After I finished, I went outside to wait for my Lyft, & Lee actually came outside to let me know I didn't have to wait out there & invited me back inside until my ride arrived. That level of kindness & customer service really stood out to me Overall, such a great experience & I'll definitely be coming back!
