As always, we appreciate our customers picking up after themselves as we do not have an attendant at this location. Thank you for your business!
We have finally replaced all of the old Speed Queen washers that we were unable to repair anymore. We now have 5 Maytag washers with one more coming soon. We are unable to repair the broken ADC dryers unfortunately, so we are currently looking at prices and hope to have new ones being installed soon. A floor update is in the works as well.

Raining outside? Come on in and dry your clothes at our laundromat in 30 minutes for $1.25. No time? call me and I will come and pick it up/drop it off at your home or business. The first 5 lbs are FREE when you try our wash/dry/fold services.
We just want to say thank you to all of our customers that keep coming back to us. We could not stay open without you! We are considering having an attendant once or twice a week on a trial basis. We would like to increase our customer service and be available for those that do not know how to work the machines/need assistance. Any thoughts/comments on this idea would be appreciated! Have a great April! Well, this is the beginning of our third year with the Camden Laundromat. We hope it has helped the community and we hope to bring new services to you this year!
Our goal, is to replace the Speed Queen washers with Maytag Neptunes and also to put in another larger (50lb) washer. Please be patient as this will take time for us to save and plan and locate machines. We must be cost-efficient in the face of the economy right now. We hope you have enjoyed the last two years at our store, and we hope you will continue to return week after week:) Well, the time has come to start looking for new washers to replace those old Speed Queens...sooner than we had hoped. They are just proving to be more work than they are worth. We are looking for some used Maytag Neptune front load washers to replace them....I will keep you updated! We have the neptunes in our other laundromats and customers really seem to like them and they are functioning great.
The coin mech for the speed queen is fixed, thank goodness and we have 2 new/used dryers on the end which puts all of our dryers in service now! We are very happy about that:) Many of you had issues with our water problem the last couple of weeks and I assure you it WAS NOT a drain problem...we just had the drain valves malfunction/break on 3-4 different machines..all at once. It was a job getting them repaired but Kyle was working on them all through the night and all of them are now repaired and working fine. Thank you for your patience while we were trying to figure out what the problems were. Hope you all have a My goodness the time has gone fast! As many of you know, we do have jobs outside of our laundromat business, so keeping up with the website can prove difficult at times!
So, what has happened the last few months? Our new coin mech for the speed queen washer that was purchased in May is now not working already:( So the hunt has begun to find another coin mech. We soon will have all the dryers working, we have a new/used set of stack dryers coming for the end by the pop machine. We have sponsored another baseball team this summer (Camden Boys Little League) and also Alexys Betzer's Camden Pageant entry (she was gorgeous!). We now have a banner up at the tractor pulls, so check it out! We also have donated some prizes to the car show held every Tuesday night in Camden in the summer. We are still looking for more wash/dry/fold accounts, so if you know anyone that could use our services, please let us know. Spring is officially here now, so you should be thinking about washing those dreaded 'hard to clean' items in your house. Comforters, blankets, sleeping bags, beach items, and bedding for all the visitors!
We are repairing another dryer board and should be back in service shortly. We are still attempting to locate a coin mech for the Speed Queen washer and not having any luck thus far. The game computer is not repairable so we have removed it from the store. All in all, we feel we are promptly repairing machines as they have issues and if anyone feels differently, you are welcome to contact us to let us know. We are trying to keep everyone updated on the status of our equipment. You will soon be seeing us doing some spring cleaning of our own at the store...cleaning the ceiling fan dust, windows and we will be landscaping by the alley. Kyle and I really enjoy visiting with our customers and have had the opportunity to see some 'regulars' more than once. We appreciate all the good feedback that we have received thus far on our management of the store. Remember: if you have an issue with a machine, please tag the machine with a red tag and then fill one out and place in the comment box for a refund. We will contact you promptly. HAVE A GREAT SPRING! Have you started your spring cleaning?? It is time to wash those rugs, blankets, comforters, etc. If you don't have time, just email or call and we can do it for you:)
In the last month, we have replaced another ignitor in dryer #17. We just had to pull one of the dryer boards from #18 because it is not working correctly and we are sending it in under warranty for repairs...it should be back in working order within 2 weeks. We apologize for this incovenience. We still have a Speed Queen washer out of service as we are unable to locate a coin mech for it (they no longer make the machine)..but we are still looking. We put a new belt in washer #9. Our game system we installed is having problems and we are not sure it can be repaired. We are still working on that. Just in case anyone is curious, we do WASH THE TOYS for the children once per week in the washer with a bleach solution to keep them germ free for all. We also wipe them down by hand daily. Our customers have done a great job putting the puzzles together! We hope you enjoy them to pass the time while waiting for your laundry to finish. We are still hoping to get some wash/dry/fold customers or businesses. If you know of anyone that could use a little extra help, just give us a call. Again, we really appreciate your business and will continue to make improvements to the laundromat as funds will allow. Thank you! Well, the wash/dry/fold is taking a long time to get started..but we are hopeful that we will be able to help someone that needs this service. For now, though, we will continue to be unattended as we wait/search/hope for some customers that will need an attendant on duty.
We have repaired all of the malfunctioning dryer boards (with the exception of #24 that is not fixable). We have replaced an ignitor in one of the dryers. We have replaced a coin mech in washer #5 but it is still not working so we are looking for another issue causing the washer to not recognize the coins. We hope everyone is pleased with our customer service and our laundromat. We welcome any and all comments/suggestions! Welcome to the new Camden Laundromat website! Our laundromat has been under new ownership for ONE YEAR now. Yeah! We are so happy to have the customers that we do, so that we can continue to remain open. We believe that a laundromat is a great, needed service to everyone in the community.
What happened in the past year: We purchased the laundromat in December 2008. It had been closed for approximately one year. This fact made it very difficult to get started because the customers had found other places to do their laundry. We have been working very hard to have great customer service, keep machines in working order, and improve what we can with the limited finances available. We have been replacing the computer boards in the dryers, one at a time. We installed a Wascomat 40 lb washer, and a digital top load washer. We added a playroom for the kids and toys/games. We painted the floors and tables. We hope that you enjoy coming to our laundromat and please feel free to contact us with any comments. We read/listen to all of them. In 2010 we plan to offer our wash/dry/fold laundry and hope to have an attendant on duty very soon. Look for coupons and ads on our website, newspaper and radio to receive even more help with your laundry needs as we move toward expanding our customer base thus increasing our services to all of you. |
