About The Laundry Room

The Laundry Room was founded by its owner, Peter, who saw an opportunity to create a better laundry experience for the Berkeley community. After visiting several laundromats that didn't meet his standards, he committed to building a business focused on customer satisfaction and a welcoming atmosphere. The Laundry Room isn't just an essential service; it's a community hub where building relationships with customers is a top priority. This commitment to quality and community is what makes The Laundry Room a trusted local choice, with locations in both Berkeley and Oakland that have been completely retooled and cleaned for an exceptional customer experience.

The Laundry Room provides a comprehensive range of services to meet every laundry need in Berkeley. For self-service customers, the facility is equipped with new, high-efficiency Dexter machines in sizes ranging from 2 to 8 loads, with washer prices from $3.25 to $8.25 and dryers at just $0.25 for 6 minutes. For ultimate convenience, the drop-off Wash & Fold service is available for $1.50 per pound (next-day), using a high-grade hypoallergenic detergent. Same-day service is also an option. Payment is simple with coin, card, and a contactless mobile app. The business also offers specialized Commercial Laundry services for local businesses like salons, restaurants, and clinics, complete with local pickup and delivery. Additionally, dry cleaning services are available through a trusted local partner. Customers can enjoy amenities like free Wi-Fi and TV while they wait in a clean, well-lit, and fully attended facility.
