Would not send my clothes here if you value your clothing. Plus side is, you may come home with clothing that doesn't belong to you... I've had clothes shrunk, multiple times, more than 7+ items go missing, 5 of which were in the same load. Absolutely no apology by the staff managers , quite the contrary in fact.. was told if I am unhappy to "rather take my clothes to a dry-cleaner", or "oh you should have written down a list", or "oh then buy your own washing machine". Approximately R4000 worth of damages done... And their response? "Oh sorry these things happen, we will do your laundry for free next time". You must think I've fallen out a tree and hit every branch on the way down, if you think I'll be doing business with you. Was also told "oh we don't know what shrinks or not", surely that's why you're in the industry.. This has happened with my family's clothes too. It's not just the branch, I've tried multiple franchises, each as Kak as one another. DO NOT SEND YOUR CLOTHES HERE, unless of course you're planning on clearing out some space in your closet and spend your morning fighting with them. At this rate it literally is cheaper for me to buy a new washing machine each time I go. Use at your own peril. I'd trust some of the homeless people in Cape town more, with washing my clothes, than I trust these guys. I've attached an image of all the things that have gone missing or shrunk.

I love, I love my laundry! There service is exceptional. I booked a time for them to pick up a large amount of laundry and they were not only precisely on time but came in and carried everything out. But what is even more amazing, is that I am a bit OCD, so I had already sorted everything and had instructions written and taped on each bag, (which they will gladly do for you if you don't want to) and Frankie, who came to pick up and is fabulous, he then asks me even more specific questions that I hadn't even thought if to write, just to make sure they did everything as I would want. They delivered EVERYTHING back (the first place that hasn't stolen from me)THE SAME DAY, beautifully and right back inside.

  • Mark Atkinson

My experience here was... Opaque. Upon entering we were greeted by an incredibly confused individual who seemed to have got the job 3 minutes before we walked in and had no experience in this industry. He seemed nice though. When we tried to order dimsum he panicked and scampered behind a curtain to do some laundry which left us scratching our heads. A large angry woman then arrived and stared at us till we asked if she served Dimsum to which she replied "yes" and continued to stare. We managed to pry the information out of her and placed an order of 3 portions. After some time one portion arrived and all the staff disappeared. It was an odd experience.

  • Scott Pringle (Scottypippin)

I am absolutely amazed that It can cost R980 to dry clean a set of curtains. This is so far from the expected cost. If you want to charge an amount that is so high then suggest you highlight this to your customers over and above the scribbled cost on the receipt so they can make a call if they would like to use this service. You will most certainly not receive repeat business if this is what you charge for your outsourced business. When I made a call to ask how this can be so expensive I was amazingly informed that none of their other customers mind that cost.

  • Ds Spmt

I haven't given a try to any other laundry service in Cape Town for comparison, but I'm certainly not planning to ! I Love My Laundry has the loveliest customer service, very fair pricing and is 100% efficient in every way. The courrier who picked up and delivered my laundry was exactly on time, and of course the clothes were washed, dried and folded perfectly. Same day pick up and delivery is mega convenient, and the contact via Whatsapp makes it so easy with an international phone number. Flawless experience, would 100% recommend !

  • Natasha Viljoen

They have no idea what customer service is. I’m a paying customer and they had no interest in helping me iron 2 duvet covers. They did not ask me when I handed it in if I wanted it ironed and being a new customer I was under the impression they will iron it but according to them I should have known. Never explained it to me to begin with...I was in a terrible bind and they could not care less.I have a property management business and will never use them again. Just go an extra mile...it would have literally taken them 5- 10 min Max.

  • James Costello (jamescapetown)

LOVE..LOVE..LOVE this space!!! Been a HUGE fan since it opened up first in Buitengracht Street...and, Oh-to-the-em-to-the-mofo-gee...the #DimSum!! SO fresh..and filling!! And there's super cute and kitschy and cool artwork for sale..with tsatskas galore! Have STILL yet to make their famous Thursday #Fondue nights there...it is ALWAYS full!! And Clayton and co are simply the nicest and most accommodating folks..DEF @jamescapetown FAVE! ☺

  • Ulrike Orpe

Awesome service! Easy to use and very inexpensive. Anyone who stays in Cape Town and needs laundry washed ( but doesn’t want to pay $$$$$), use I LOVE LAUNDRY . Easy communication, they came and picked up and dropped off. Same day or next day services available. I highly recommend them. Thanks ‘ ILOVE LAUNDRY’ for working around my ‘tourist schedule’ and doing a fantastic job with cleaning, folding and delivering my laundry to the hotel I was staying at!

  • Yen Yan commercial group

Laundry was done professionally and on time! Chris the owner/manager really cares about his customers and their clothes. He is courteous and kind to his clients. This place makes me, who is first time visiting Cape Town, feel good about the city. The store interior is very nice and clean, they serve dim sum too!!! You can have dim sum when you bring your laundry in or out. Highly recommend this place for laundry service!!!

  • Selinah Seepe

I got wonderful service. They communicate effectively and ensure that they answer all your questions. They keep track of everything and notify you about everything. They go an extra mile for their clients. Their work is as promised, with beautiful packaging of your clothes. They give as much respect as you’d give your own clothes. I’m a very satisfied customer and would recommend I Love My Laundry to anyone who asks!!!!

  • Valterino Padula

I'm visting Cape Town for a week and before continuing my trip, I decided to take my laundry to this quaint little shop not only are the staff super friendly but they also washed my clothes (some with stains) very well. 1.6 kgs for 80 rand. I was able to collect my laundry the day after. My clothes were folded and handed in a clean plastic bag. Thank you very much for your nice job. Congratulations.

  • stafford smith

I LOVE MY MONEY, is a better name for this place. Worst service ever. Apparently if your clothes get shrunk by tumble drying at this place it is your problem. Taking the initiative to hang a persons clothes up rather than leaving it wet in a basket overnight is suppose to be acceptable. Charged me R125 and handed me back wet stinky clothes full of soap from poor rinsing. No thank you!!!

  • Meghana Sridhar

Excellent and carefully done job! We dropped off our laundry at 930am and it was ready for pick up at 2pm on the same day, as promised. The ladies at the store are very friendly and honest, they ensured that our whites & dark clothes were washed separately. Communication was on point despite having an international number - the SMS came through on time for pick up!

  • nosipho molaudzi

In April went for a holiday and looked for a laundromat around to my convenience. Very friendly staff and clean place. I then left my clothes to their capable hands of service. Picked up the clothes and drove back to Johannesburg. To my disbelief I his is how my shirt is like. I am very disappointed.

  • Annchen Bronkowski

I love my laundry is the best! Very quick to respond on WhatsApp, and always very friendly and pleasant to deal with. Their pickup and drop off service is super convenient, and they usually finish my laundry same day when it’s picked up in the morning - even if it’s a huge load. Highly recommend.

  • Anshuman Rane

This place is horrendous. I paid for clothes to be ironed and they weren't. Shirts for work came back all crumpled. And they lost some clothes. When I went back the next day to see them they said it wasn't their problem and there's nothing they can do to help. Use their service at your own risk.

  • mia sykes

I Love My Laundry is a great service especially for me, a busy tourist in the Cape Town area. I highly recommend their services if you want your laundry washed by professionals. I am very impressed with them! They even came to my hotel and picked up and delivered. my clothes in a timely manner.

  • Myron Govender

Exceptional service with affordable pricing. Came on holiday & they fetched my laundry from the hotel & delivered it on the same day as well as brilliant stain removal from wine tasting and food sharing messes. Would recommend them a million times over. Great work guys. God bless you.

  • Pieter Grove

Terrible service. Clothes were not ironed when collected. All crammed into one plastic bag. Not even folded properly I asked them to not put our shirts in the tumble dryer - majority of our shirts have now shrunk and I am unable to wear them again. Absolutely dissapointed

  • Lee-Roy J. Adams

Super friendly and helpful team. Collection and delivery is on time as scheduled. Cost effective and great customer service. Communication is open and easy. And the durable laundry bags just makes transporting the laundry so convenient - especially managing an Airbnb.

  • Anthony Wright

This laundromat was located within a few blocks of my hotel. The staff were kind and had my laundry ready when they said it would be. They were also able to get a few stains out of my brand new shirt! I went back again before I left to have more clothes cleaned.

  • Eric Raff

I went here to avoid the overpriced per item charges at the Hilton Cape Town. Clothes came back very clean and much much cheaper than hotel prices. For a small additional charge they will deliver your clothes back to the hotel for you. Great. Service was fast.

  • Steve Pincini

Went there 7 am this morning I was told they were to busy but as I was flying out the following day they said they would help me out. Went back that afternoon and they were all ready Dropped 30 items off and got 30 back Staff were very friendly Thanks guys

  • JJ van der Merwe

The most friendliest staff I have ever met. The new management team is doing a great job and providing an excellent service. Did I mention speedy service? They work fast and and there has never been a problem with my experience. Keep up the good job guys!

  • Wesley Burgess

Service is shocking here. The staff is in need of some serious training on customer service and quality of experience. Nothing that was told to me ended up happening. And no one seems to know how to deal with taking calls correctly. #IDontLoveMyLaundry

  • Darren Hanekom

Never take your clothes to this place. Worst customer service you will ever receive. Takes 5 days for them to do a load of less than 6kgs. Ive had instances when the clothes were damp. They keep giving the same tardy service over and over again.

  • Christian Burger

If you looking for a fast job with not much care to your clothes I'd recommend this. We got all our clothes back after a wash and dry all shrunk, smelling like chemicals not a freshly washed smell one would expect for the amount you pay.

  • Jasper

Laundry 1-5 kgs is R100. If you separate colours and have 2 piles, you pay double. R35 per kilo for ironing. Got laundry back the same day. Nicely done, nicely wrapped. Friendly people. You can pay by card as well. Recommended!

  • idris yalçın

This was my first experience to go to this laundry. They greeted me warmly and helpful. They’re so polite. They informed me by a message when my clothes are ready to take. It's not expensive. Thank you so much.

  • NICOLAS oliva

Just the best! Every time I visit Cape Town and I need my laundry washed I go here. I don’t even bother looking around. Friendly, quick, always willing to help. I’m always grateful for the service.

  • Erwin Wertwijn

Apart from my one less good experience regarding opening hours during lockdown, I use this service for my weekly laundry requirements, they're very friendly and you get an sms when it's done.

  • Cara Versfeld

Amazing service!! Super efficient & convenient pick up & drop off service available. Blessed & Chris are both lovely, this will definitely become my laundromat of choice going forward.

  • Ruan Botha

So dissapointing! Was greeted with an attitude. When I went to collect my clothing, 7 items was missing. Luckily got it back, was mixed up with someone else. I'll never go back

  • Shayler Levine

Contacted them after hours and they answered me before they even opened. Super quick and for 16kg for pick up and drop off was only R476. Would recommend this laundry service.

  • Audrey M (Audzzzzz)

Found them on Google while looking for a laundry delivery service ! Very impressed by the quality of the communication and the excellent service ! Definitely recommend ! 100%

  • Jeremy Forsyth

Excellent service all round. The owner was pleasant to deal with, and even went out his way to make sure our laundry bag was cleaned. The best laundry service we've ever had.

  • Douw-Steyn Lessing

I walked 1.5km with two backpacks in the rain to this laundromat, because according to their website they are the only one near opening at 7am. It's 07:20 and no one is here.

  • Franklin Presence

They delivered my laundry after hours last night at no extra charge. So I was in church for a change in a while, I didn't know such good services still existed in Cape Town.

  • Sebastian Prenzel

Worst laundry shop ever, better do it yourself! All of my clothes lost their color, shrank 2 sizes and they didnt return to me at least 6 of my items (underwear and socks).

  • oscar phelan

Got the food on uber eats. It was a kin to eating dog food with the beef dumplings And a kin to eating cat food with the fish and chicken. Just don't go here save the money

  • Eloff Janson (NandaPanda)

Under new management I presume. Reviews do not accurately describe the service or kindness of the people. The woman immediately helped us and gave us our laundry problems.

  • Nina Hastie

Works all very well! Thank you so much for your service. Maybe online payment would be nice, so I can leave my clothes at the reception.

  • Kathleen Streit

Clothes all clean but staff was unfriendly the two times I went here. Said they would text me when clothes are ready but didn't do it.

  • Marc Gregory Knowles

Clever concept- poor execution. On-demand service that doesn't leave you satisfied. Clothes still damp, clothes were folded horribly.

  • Shahrol Ezwan

Excellent service. Staff is friendly and welcoming. He even sent me a text message just to inform my laundry is ready for pick up.

Friendly and fast, laundry washed well, yet the ironing was sloppy. Had to re~iron all my clothes at the hotel:-(

  • Sandee Teeroovengadum

Zar100 for 5kg. However do not rely on the same day collection. Plus they don't even fold the clothes properly.
