Universal Laundromat — Local services in Town of Coeymans

Looked good and clean on the surface. Did my disinfection wiping down inside the $3.00 machine tub that have the dispensers on top of machine. They look relatively new with digital display. ($3.25 for hot water wash) Cleaning before washing and then onto cleaning the dispenser. Film and grit from powders and some brown..?? Then to cleaning the fabric softener compartment after my third cleaning wipe just for that compartment and another patron saying her nose began to run, thinking she smelled mold. Well..I was smelling funny scents but all kinds detergents, dampness, dryer heat etc. So I continued to clean decided to get up on a chair to see better..WHOW..MOLD IN THE SOFTNER DISPENSER. THEN I checked other machine top dispensers...MOLD IN THE SOFTNER DISPENSER..STINKING MOLD. (one machine wasn't as horrible I was able to clean it and yes I wore cleaning gloves) I had already started my laundry in it but it was my bleached whites. Switched to the $4.00 machine with the drawer dispensers cleaned those no mold in dispensers some grime on rims. No pictures I was wearing surgical gloves so can get the tight spaces for the dispensers and dispose of gloves. Liked the dryers. Well Lit. Good amount of carts. Like there are two folding tables at differing heights. One TV works....

Went to the laundromat this morning and found that the spiderwash card readers were having a network error........AGAIN. So couldn't use the cards, had no quarters and the bills that I did have couldn't be changed into quarters because the coin machines weren't working.....AGAIN. To top it all off, the change machine at the carwash next door was out of currency......surprise, surprise. Thankfully a nice lady had some extra quarters with her to help me out. So aggravating at 4am to have to deal with this type of service and to have no attendant to help out. There's never a number to call at the laundromat and when you call the number on the website....no one ever returns the call. The poor woman that use to come in to clean probably got so sick of cleaning up after all the nasty patrons that she no longer comes down to deal with anything. Unless you have a ton of quarters and a back up plan to deal with this ridiculous laundromat....find another alternative to do your laundry. You'll save yourself time, money and...

The Ravena location is 1 of 3 that Aaron Flach owns. Ravena is the dirtiest with the most broken or near broken machines. His other two locations are immaculate. When the machine I used (circled in red) appeared to stop in the middle of the wash cycle, I called the Coxsackie location as directed on the sign. The woman there said she can't help me and gave me Aaron's phone number. While he did reimburse us this time, he has neglected to return calls in the past and has not repaired the machines in need of repair. Most of the washing machine have sticky notes "Card Only...jammed" or "cold water only" or my favorite "out of service". But the notes are small and not always where one would see them before attempting to use...
