Crystal Clean House 109 East 116th Street, Manhattan, New York 10029

"Very nice laundromat. Very clean, decent, and a respectable places. The machines wash great, they're electronic and they take quarters. Yes, quarters!! I hate them other places that you need to put money on a card and then you need to keep refilling it because some machines take your money or the card doesn't work on some of the machines because the machine can't read it. Expect to pay like $3.50 for a small machine to $6.75 for a large machine, and yes, they have super-sized machines too. They have like 50 dryers. I mean, the place looks small but can accommodate quick a few people. The Downside is that a lot of the machines are small. I guess this was maybe in high demand, or they might have wanted to use up a lot of the space with more machines that fit to meet demand or not to have dead space in the business. Either way, the staff was great, the place was not too busy and again very clean. Even the bathroom was very clean. The other amenities are that they have a ramp on the entry, they have an ATM inside, they have vending machines for detergents, and a machine to exchange / give you quarters. Everything you need. Enjoy."

"One of the best laundromat in the area. They have a lot of new machine's for single double and triple loads also a lot of dryers too. They maintain and clean the machines regularly. I used a double load for 3.5$ and it took 27 mins. For the dryer it's 25 cents for 5 mins, it took me 25 mins to dry my clothes. Regular can be done in 20 mins also. They offer wash and fold, drycleaning, alterations also. Friendly staff!!"

"My wife and I have been patronizing this place for years. (I didn't even know it had a name!) They've got more washers and dryers than any other local place. On those exceedingly rare occasions I have experienced a problem -- these are machines, after all, subject to breakdowns -- most has always refunded my money promptly. If I believe a dryer is not hot enough, I don't just remove my clothes. I carry Post-it notes and a marker to alert other customers and then report the problem by dryer number to mgmt. There is plenty of room to move about and many counters with which to fold your clothes. Wed and Thurs seem to be the best days to go. The ventilation is fine and there is a well-kept bathroom for customer use. There are two or three change machines available -- and they work. My only pet peeve is the necessary use of between one and two rolls of quarters to operate the washers and drivers at a time when many other establishments have switched to laundry cards allowing customers to simply avoid coins altogether and add five- ten- or twenty-dollar bills to cards. Presently, I give the the one female woman on duty, washing-drying-and folding clothes any spare quarters I may have to let her know her work has not gone unnoticed by others. The fact that my wife and I walk a total of ten blocks to do our laundry may be viewed as an indication of how much we love this place."

"Been using this laundromat for a few months now and I find them very clean and the machines get the clothes clean. $2.75 for the small machine. Dryers are. 25¢ for 6 minutes but they get crazy hot. The trick is to come early as possible. It does get crowded after 12 noon. Bathroom has no way to wash your hands after use so bring hand sanitizer. Over all friendly staff with super new and clean machines. Very important to get your clothes nice and clean."
