Thank you to all three of you for this sound advice. I took three trash bags full of laundry to Arlington Laundrymat at 89 North Glebe Road (703) 243-2645 - this is the one that beachgirl54 recommended, and not only was I happy, I was happy enough where I'll use them again and again. I walked in around 2:30 PM (it's open 24 hours, I believe), and a Latina lady working the laundromat stepped behind a counter, weighed my bags, and said, "44 pounds?" I said, "Sure." At one dollar a pound, I'd *happily* pay $44 to have this nightmare officially over. I had been overrun, deluged, and had just plain given up. "5 o'clock?" she asked? I looked at her with a skeptical eye. "Today?!" "Si." "Well, sure!" I had just assumed it would be a couple of days, but I guess this is what they do for a living - at my house, it might have been a couple of months. Everything was washed, neaty folded, and ready to go in two large clear plastic bags, with socks matched and everything. I had the option of bleach vs. no bleach for my whites, and scented drier sheets for all the clothing (I love scented drier sheets because they remind me of when my mom did laundry for us). I walked in, she pointed to the bags, I gratefully handed her $50 and told her to keep the change. No fuss, no muss, and absolutely a repeat customer - I could not be happier, and to anyone who *hates* doing laundry, especially folding bedclothes, and has a little disposable income (I realize this is something of a luxury item, but I was happy to give this nice lady my business), it is money well-spent. Highly recommended. -
This is a franchise; I am commenting only on this particular location. To me a car is transportation. Washing a car is a waste of time and water unless it is necessary to remove road salt. Because after all, the next day, it is covered with pollen and dust and dirt again. But the inside of the car was really in need of a cleaning and a household vacuum just doesn't do the job so we took it to Ecodetail. They don't use water. Who knows what kind of earth-killing chemicals they use. They claim of the franchisor Every time I read something like that, it is only a matter of time before I read that they are in fact using something that creates frankenfish and dayglow orange trees. I mean, the guy was a 22-yr-old pugilist who worked at a Shell station and he knows what does/not harm the environment? There's so much co-opting of the term green to sell stuff that it is hard to trust it anymore. So I hope it is true but wouldn't be surprised if it isn't. So lesson one - don't send husband to do this if your husband suffers from male-pattern blindness because he won't see the spots they missed and you will have to take it back. So the first try resulted in a gorgeous exterior and nearly spotless interior but they missed a couple of places that were just not touched. I took it back the next day. They apologized profusely, did not just the couple of spots they missed, but actually re-did almost everything. The interior is now spotless. The two owner, Dimitrios, is a truly delightful guy.

Everyone on here probably already knows about Hadeed Carpet, if not you probably don't listen to much radio around here. However, when you need a reliable company to professionally clean your rugs they do a really great job. We had a kitchen and bathroom remodel, owned a puppy and fostered a puppy after which our oriental and non-oriental rugs really needed professionally cleaned. They looked shabby, our cream one had a spot I didn't think would ever come out, the colors were faded or dingy. They needed sanitized, the works. Hadeed came and picked the rugs up, I didn't have to move anything, they picked up the couch, bed, dining room table, heavy coffee table that the rugs were under, they took them, they cleaned and sanitized and returned them a few days later. The rugs were vibrant, clean, they smelled good, the spot I never thought would come out was out. They put the rugs back down just where I asked. They also had a rug pad for a rug that we needed. The prices were reasonable considering the size of the rug (it is less if you don't need them sanitized, but we definitely needed that part) and the level of service. And I thought they did a very good job and were very professional. http://www.hadeedcarpet.com Katelin Moomau
