Cheap washers?!? What's not to like?…read more I came to this location at the recommendation of a thread I posted on an online forum looking for cheap laundry services. I'm particular about the way I wash my clothes & quite honestly prefer to handwash them; that way, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am washing them how I feel is correct. So when I posted in the forum asking for a place I could go & wash my laundry "for the items that are too big to hand wash", West Seattle Laundrette immediately jumped off the page due to its weekly promotion for cheap washers. The largest caveat here is the staff or locals aren't overly thrilled about having newcomers coming to what they feel is their section of Seattle. I've now gone to that location twice as of today & honestly don't forsee myself returning. The first time I visited this location on July 8th, I came with open expectations as to what to expect. I travelled via public transit with my laundry in a nearly 2-hour round trip & was immediately met by some elderly Anglo-Saxon woman complaining about people being overly aggressive & how the person was insinuating that she was stealing their laundry. Her reasoning for not being the prime suspect was due to her age & race, stating, "Your clothes aren't my style." All well & good despite the fact the story allegedly stemmed from several weeks earlier & she kept making awkward eye contact with me while gossiping with another patron. Easily remedied. I put a pair of headphones on & tried my hardest not to communicate with anyone at the location. I brought everything I needed to complete my task to quarters, so I didn't see a need to engage in small talk. Today being the 2nd time, despite how off the vibe was 2 weeks ago, I returned. This time to find the entire location having its washers occupied. Bizarre, but perfectly plausible. Again, the largest caveat here is that there were only 2 people inside of the facility. Judging by the 1st visit, the insinuation is pretty clear. "You're" not welcome. I'm guessing the thought process here is "they" can sit around & wait for drugs all day; "they" can sit & wait for "us" to finish using the washing machines. Never mind the fact I don't drink or use alcohol, but these days anyone with any sort of complexion is immediately profiled. Sad but true. If you've got money, I'd suggest going somewhere else. If you don't have money, I'd suggest looking for somewhere else.

I will never go back…read more I parked briefly in the back area to get change and returned within five minutes to a $122 ticket. My car was on, lights on, and I was in and out. You're expected to pay to park and pay to use the laundry, which was not clearly communicated. When I tried to resolve this, no one replied to my emails. They claim a five-day ticket payment policy, yet it's been weeks with zero response. Meanwhile, the fee continues to hang over you with no way to make it right. I've lived in West Seattle for years and recently moved back, and I had no idea these were the parking circumstances. The enforcement feels predatory, the communication is nonexistent, and the entire experience felt like a cash grab rather than legitimate parking management

I contacted Seattle Express Cleaners to clean my wedding dress, which had sat in my closet for…read moreabout 6 months with no prior attempts at cleaning off the dirt, sweat, makeup, and other stains from my wedding day. They were extremely quick to respond to my inquiry via texting, asked great questions to get a sense of how much cleaning the dress would need (they requested some pictures of the stains up front), and gave me a quote for the cost that I felt was very reasonable. The pickup and drop-off part of this service is AMAZING, especially for someone with a busy schedule! They scheduled pick up at my house within a week despite having a high demand for wedding dress cleaning at the time, and sent me an update about what they were planning to do once they had their wedding dress expert take a look at the dress. Their turnaround time was much faster than I expected and they even sent pictures right after the cleaning was finished so I could see how well it came out! I had not requested a steaming since I didn't have plans to use the dress again anytime soon, but they did one complimentary for me which made the dress look absolutely stunning and like it was brand new. There was not a single residual stain left and the dress did not smell like anything - it was just perfectly clean. The final cost of the cleaning was exactly what I expected from the quote and I felt it was incredibly reasonable for the amount of cleaning they had to do, the speed and very high quality of service, and the helpful communication throughout the process. I was 100% satisfied with the end result and would absolutely recommend their services to anyone!

My clothes were cleaned…read morewell but I felt so bad from the customer service I put it in the back of my mind so I didn't write a review. I recently moved to Los Angeles and found a new dry cleaners down the street from me that charged me half the cost for the same items which was refreshing. I thought of this place and wanted to leave a review to warn people how bad this was. These people were hostile, defensive, and greedy. They kept on hassling me about my clothes and texting me for approval for new costs. The texting person gave me an estimate and sent me like over 10 photos of my clothes to point out all the stains and hair that was on my clothes and repeatedly told me my clothes were wrinkled and very dirty. This was unnecessary and made me feel attacked and shamed. Like WTF?? I just wanted them to clean my clothes not pick faults with me! Instead, they acted like they were taking me to court! So much unnecessary stress and hassle for dry cleaners! They ended up charging me over $50 more than originally estimated because my clothes were oh so hard to clean and so dirty. Despite going over the original estimate, they still hassled and tried to guilt me for tip at the end saying they gave me a deal. What deal? Your services are super expensive! The tone they texted me was just so very rude it's like they didn't want me as a customer. I never fought them on the expensive costs but they were hostile from the start. I ended up going back to my previous dry cleaners, City Custom Tailor & Dry Cleaners in Belltown. They are not cheap either, but a little less expensive and they are chill. I do not think cheap dry cleaning exists in Seattle but this service sucks.

I have only been treated worse by one other company. The owner of this cleaner is arrogant,…read moredisrespectful and not worth your money! Stay away from House of Kleen. There are so many other cleaners in West Seattle. This is a terrible, terrible company. Here is my story: I moved to West Seattle about nine months ago and have never had a problem with any of my dress shirts. Some were old, some were brand new. But they all got ripped at House of Kleen. The elbows were definitely worn (they're dress shirts, after all) but again I have never, ever had an issue with my shirts until I started going here. As soon as I start going here, my dress shirts start ripping in the elbows. Something is going on at this cleaner and it is not good business. I am so mad this happened. I used to have 10 dress shirts, now I have three and I have to go buy more. All of them ripped at House of Kleen. When I confronted the owner, he flipped out. "I don't ruin shirts. You ruin shirts. Your fault. You don't come back here." Needless to say, I was stunned. He wouldn't even listen to me. He simply refuted my claims and yelled at me. I yelled back, naturally. It was embarrassing. Please don't go here. I am out hundreds of dollars of nice shirts and have nothing to show for it. House of Kleen is a disgraceful company with a bad owner who does not care for his customers. If I could rate this business lower than one star, I would.

Well, this place is close to where I live, clean, no smells, staffed and normally busy which is a good sign. The large 3-load machines cost $3 and I bring some quarters from my piggy bank and run a load every so often. It's pretty quick and I can run the load, dry and leave in about 1 hour. This is good place if you live within a few miles of the location as I wouldn't drive here from long away for a laundromat. Another plus is the Salmon Creek Cafe is just beside this place and you can get a coffee + apple turnover or eat breakfast or lunch at the same time if need be.
