I rediscovered this laundromat in the past year, after having used a larger newer place in…read moreLewiston. Honestly, this small, quiet, clean laundromat is one of the best in the L/A area. It is a comfort to be able to do your wash without contending with the crowds and competition for washers and dryers of much larger laundromats. The staff at Auburndale is helpful and friendly. The washers are nearly brand-new and very reliable. Although the dryers have been in place for some time, they have always worked well for me. I will exchange the quiet and service of this small laundromat for the bells and whistles of a larger, newer one, every-single-time.

DO NOT EVEN THINK OF SENDING YOUR DRY CLEANING TO THESE DISREPUTABLE, INCOMPETENT, WOULD-BE DRY…read moreCLEANERS. After a major move, I dropped off a new suit and an overcoat at sister laundry mat/dry cleaners, Bangor Street Laundromat, 56 Western Ave., Augusta, ME. From there, it was then sent to John's Green Cleaners, 355 Main St, Lewiston, ME 04240. A week later, John's returned my black suit and overcoat to Bangor Street Laundromat where I discovered that both items were severely heat-damaged: the suit in the lapel, waist area, and front and back shoulders; the overcoat was a mass of wrinkles caused by seams that had shrink considerably and totally deformed and diminished each garment. Overzealous or inexperienced pressing had permanently damaged both items. Owner Greg at first responded to a phone call and asked to be given opportunity to correct matters. I sent the damaged items back to John's for a second pressing attempt. A week later, the still-damaged items were miserably the same. Phone calls to Greg's cell and the business went unanswered for at least two weeks. Finally, I wrote an email including the below photo links demanding the filing of a damages claim. Eventually an unknown "John's Cleaner" employee responded to my email by text (unprofessional) and included a photo of theirs still showing the obviously-damaged suit jacket on their presser with warpage all around. Within the text, John's took no responsibility for having damaged both items, provided no means of filing a damage claim, and offered a self-serving resolution: that I subject further articles of clothing to their abuse and receive a one-time 30% discount. Apparently, Greg sees small claims court as the preferred means to resolve damages disputes with his clients. Do yourself a favor: stay away from Bangor Street and all of John's Green Cleaner's affiliates throughout Maine.

Just a little over two hours later they had it ready for me to pick up, with everything neat and perfectly folded. I dealt with Matthew, who was not only efficient but super nice and funny to boot. I sure do appreciate a local business that makes my life easier, and this one exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended if you're visiting (or just too lazy to do your own wash)!

My husband and I got married this July in Maine. We are from Brooklyn, so we knew little about the…read morearea, and I needed to have my dress pressed for the wedding. I found Valetone Cleaners online and their website looked professional and their reviews were good. I dropped off the dress on Tuesday and they told me it would be ready on Friday. Because of the rehearsal dinner and the distance of the shop from the place we were staying, I wasn't able to pick up the dress until Saturday, around 1:00 pm. The wedding was at 4:00. There was an older man at the desk. I gave him my slip, and then could hear him shuffling around the back for at least 5 minutes. He said he couldn't find it. My sister and I told him it was my wedding dress. He looked around some more, but he seemed to have no idea what he was doing and no sense of urgency. My sister and I ended up marching into the back to search ourselves. The place was a mess. There was junk and clothes thrown everywhere. We asked if the dress would have been sent out and he said no, but when I asked him where things would be that were pressed he seemed unsure. He then asked, "You need it today, huh?" My heart was racing...I didn't know what to do. Finally, after checking a rack for a third time, I found it, wedged between some much bigger clothes, still in the wrapping I brought it in with. It hadn't been pressed. My sister and I ended up taking the dress, going to Walmart, buying a steamer, and steaming it ourselves...but not until I cried from all the stress. Valetone Cleaners is completely disorganized and unprofessional and should not be trusted with your clothing. I don't even think I got an apology.
