When I dropped off my wedding gown to be cleaned (not preserved) in November, no one gave me a ticket. Apparently it's not their practice.  I called back immediately in a mild panic realizing I had just left a very expensive and irreplaceable garment at the clearner's with no documents to prove it was there. The person at the desk was extremely rude to me when. I finally got through, I eventually did get confirmation via email. It took 3 months for the dress to come back to me.  When it was returned today I could not believe what terrible shape it was in.  It is covered in dust and debris like someone dragged it on the floor before putting it in the garment bag. There are still several spots on it, and it is extremely wrinkled  (surprising because it is made from a highly wrinkle resistant fabric.  $215 and it looks worse than it did when I dropped it off.

My rehearsal dinner dress was also completely ruined by this cleaner in November (which I did not realize until I also left my wedding dress with them).  When I eventually retrieved the dress and put it on to attend a family member's wedding, I was horrified to find the fabric in the bodice had been so roughly scrubbed that it left permanent waves and ridges on the chest, rendering the dress totally unwearable.

These two garments were not just things I had hoped to keep and wear again -- they were precious to me and have been utterly destroyed.  I cannot begin to explain my heartache knowing my custom made wedding gown cannot be worn again or passed down .

After reading other stellar reviews of Angela Emery and the team at Pratt Abbott, I knew I would be in good hands.  I brought them my gorgeous (but pretty heavily soiled!) wedding dress and cathedral-length veil after our August wedding in Maine.  It was an outdoor ceremony and reception the day after a hurricane, so not only was there a 6-inch coating of mud and dirt up the hem of the dress, I also had some self-tanner staining in the underarms.  My veil, which I had dragged around the woods and meadows for photography, had everything from burrs to bugs tangled up in it.

The deep, careful cleaning process took a few months, but I was in no hurry to get my dress back.  When I was able to pick it up, I was stunned at the job Angela and the team had done.  My dress looked just like the day I had taken it home from my final fitting! I'm still deciding what I want to do with it, but if I decide to preserve it, I'll definitely bring it back to Angela!

One of the worst customer service experiences ever. I recently moved to an apartment building that has one of the local Pratt Abbott locations provide a pick up/drop off service. I was driving past so I figured I'd stop in and see if it was this location so I could open an account. The response I got was "We don't do that here." in a rude way. That's fine, no problem. I asked if she knew which location might do that for my building and her response was "It's like you're trying order a cake at the meat department" while rolling her eyes. Uh, what?? I just left and won't use the other location's pick up/drop off service now. How someone like that keeps her job is beyond me.

Brought in a sweatshirt that the stitching on the pocket has started to come undone. Was told it would be ready on November 13th!! I asked why it couldn't be done quickly right there and was told they didn't have time. All while I was watching two employees sitting at sewing machines on their cellphones! A good company would have said " let us zip that up quick for you, hold on a few minutes." I even offered to pay extra. I'll never go here again!

Highly recommend. The only place you should take your wedding dress for cleaning.
Angela and Becky are so kind.
Becky was able to meet me personally to evaluate my dress. She is an expert on fabrics and what the best cleaning approach will be. She was honest yet optimistic on the extent to which my dress could be cleaned. All dirt and stains were removed. A true miracle worker and wedding dress angel.
Angela manages the communication so you know what’s happening with your dress and when it’s ready. I appreciated the intake form provided so there is clear agreement on the work being done and everything is documented.
Prices are very reasonable.
They are very busy - but 100 percent worth the wait.

Clean facility with a good number of machines. Went early AM so not sure how busy it can get. No issues for us during our visit and would gladly use them again if needed.

I hadn’t used a laundromat in a while. I arrived a little after 7 am. I jammed up the coins by not waiting for them to drop. I didn’t have enough coins to start another machine. Luckily a nice patron loaned me some $$.  Sure enough the manager came in around 8am and got my coins back to me and told me to wait for that sound of a coin dropping before putting more in. He also reminded me to flip my comforter around so it wouldn’t stay wet in the middle. Very pleasant and responsive service.

Wouldn’t recommend this place.  Started a couple loads of wash on hot and noticed no water came out for 15 minutes of the cycle, and when it finally did, the water was cold and still not enough to even saturate the clothes.  I called the owner (no one is on site) and she said I must have overloaded it and don’t know how to use a washing a machine.
So I’m out $10 and have to rewash my clothes.

Very friendly, helpful owners. I’ve used this laundry matt for years. Reliable machines, no theft, and very well kept.

This my laundry spot. I live a two minute walk from here. Today, I went to do my laundry (with a face mask + gloves on) and saw that the launder center has increased the price of a load of wash. One load of wash is now $2.75. Before the pandemic hit, it was $2.50. I was extremely upset and angry to see this price increase. Lots of people are currently without jobs and to have to pay more for a basic necessity is horrible. People who don't have the luxury of washing their own clothes at home, have to risk their health by going out of their home to do their wash. And to take advantage of this situation is truly sad. I'm very disheartened to see this. I will continue to voice my opinion until the price is back to $2.50.

We're working hard to improve our services and appreciate your feedback in helping us achieve this goal. Our goal is to provide a clean, safe, and convenient space for you to do your laundry, and we're dedicated to making your experience with us a positive one.

The machine in the photo took my money and the one next to it took another guys money and wouldnt start. There's no one working there, no phone number to contact anyone. The dryers don't work -half are broken. I took my wet clothes from another washer to a different laundromat to dry. After I added my clothes to the first machine with the soap, I couldn't get it to start and had to move my clothes with laundry soap all over them to another machine, in hopes, that one will work. It did but it didn't spin the water out. The clothes were very wet and heavy and I was to tired to care. I took them to another laundromat. Please beware. No one works there at all. There's a few cameras that's it.

Wish I had checked the reviews first…

I started using this laundromat without really reading any reviews, and that was definitely a mistake.

There’s a guy who’s always hanging around late at night. I don’t think he officially works there, but he’s always running his own laundry and kind of acting like he’s in charge. He’s not helpful, not friendly — just really unpleasant. Honestly, something feels off about him. I haven’t had a direct conversation with him, but the way he watches people… it’s unsettling. Like he’s looking for a reason to start something. Not with everyone, but you can tell.

But the real issue? Stuff goes missing. I’m not even sure how — you toss your clothes in, go about your business, and then later realize a shirt’s gone… or a sheet… or worse, your underwear. And I’m not talking about once — it happened multiple times over the few months I used this place.

It’s frustrating and honestly kind of sad. I mean, who steals from a laundromat? It’s not like this is some luxury place — it’s for regular people just trying to get their laundry done.

One item that disappeared had sentimental value. It was a gift brought from overseas, and losing it hurt more than I expected. It wasn’t about money — it meant something to me.

If I could give this place a rating lower than one star, I would. I don’t understand how anyone comes back after one visit — or reads these reviews and still gives it a shot.

All I can say is: be careful. Especially with small or personal items. Regular visits to this place might slowly empty out your closet.

I don’t have less than 1 star to rate this place I lost 20$ in total and washer sucks. It didn’t wash or soak my clothes and it’s full of water. Washers with open lids are not working. There not contact number to reach out regarding the issue.

24 hours and affordable, but one of the machines took my coin but wouldn’t turn on. Had to move the wash load to another machine and add more cleaner. When I went to look for a contact number there was none.

This has got to be the WORST laundromat in the world. Over half of the washing machines AND dryers are out of service and never get fixed. The washing machines that kinda work don't ring out your clothes, so they come out drenched, and you never know which of the dryers that kinda work are actually going to dry your clothes properly. Also, BOTH of the coin machines STEAL your money! You barely get half the amount of quarters as the amount of cash you put in, if you get any quarters back at all! I will never be coming back here and if I could give this place 0 stars, I would. While the Scarborough Laundromat is more pricey, at least most of their machines work consistently.
