Reviews of Surf's Up! Coin Laundry & Dry Cleaning (Cleaning Company)

Nosheen Khokhar

Excellent service. Very pleasant owner. Helpful in every way

Cindy Dixon

I gave this a bad rating ONLY for the fact that the woman that was working did not wear a mask and not go around sanitizing what people are touching, considering there was no sanitizer to use when you walk in. It is mandatory to wear a mask, workers the public we all know this and she did not.

Ruth Burthom

Friendly service, clean.

Georgene MacDonald

Always very clean. Helpful staff. Good range of snacks. Very comfortable sitting area. Good selection of machine sizes for every type of laundry. Very convenient dry cleaning service.

Kathy Jensen

Friendly and very helpful.

Jessica Gauthier

Amazing staff. Extremely clean. Tons of washers and dryers both normal and industrial sizes

Nick Levey

Great facilities and very friendly staff. It doesn't feel like you're in a laundromat waiting for your clothes as they have coffee, tables, ice cream and free WiFi. The machines are new, clean and affordable as well!

Alisa Hunnersen

Excellent staff, and very clean. However, the lack of machines is very frustrating, especially since I don't have a way to hop in the car and come back when there are more available machines. This has been going on for years, so please don't blame it on the Covid.

I had a show in Kingston on a Friday night and on the way I spilled some sandwich goop on my pants. I wasn't planning on staying more than the night and hadn't brought any other clothes. I explained the situation to the attendant and they were able to get my pants to the dry cleaners in Kingston and return them SAME DAY in time for my show! Incredibly amazing life saving service in a time of need. Thank YOU!

Jean Denis Bellanger

Clean and nice lady. They got food too.

Jamie-lee Hunter

Everytime I go, the ladies there are nice and always helpful. The place is always clean and tidy and the ice cream is Reid's, therefore it's delicious. They're open early and close late so if you go at a reasonable time, no one will say anything or turn you away. If you show up at 8 or 9 expecting to have it washed and dry before 10, you need to take a time management course. Just sayin'.

Idan Rubin

Very nice place.

Liana Finucan

Surf's Up! provides terrific service, with competent staff who go out of their way to be helpful. We've used their big machines for washing heirloom quilts and big blankets, and they saved us when our washing machine went on the fritz. Furthermore, they are a community-minded, locally-owned business, who consented to having a collection box for the charitable organization Joe's MILL, a local instrument lending library, front and centre on their service desk. Thanks for all you do, Surf's Up!

Jennifer Fisher

Fast Clean and love the management!!! She is great to talk with and very helpful. Only place I will go!!

Solace Spa by Stacia & Christine

I just picked up my Canada Goose from Surfs Up and it looks absolutely beautiful! Not single mark left on it. It had little rub marks and darker spots in the usual spots from wear. Even inside the collar where makeup and stuff rubs... gone! Thank you ????

Jasdeep Singh Jass

Great place for sitting in waiting area

Skye Shaver

First few times I came here GREAT service. Older, shorter lady with brown hair was working. Always polite, answered any questions I had and at the ready (with a smile :) when I needed change or to buy a drink. Last two times I’ve been here it was a different lady with blond hair. She is so rude! Is never at the counter and acts as though it is a huge inconvenience when you go to the counter to get change or buy anything. Also this place is open until 10pm, sign says last load at 8:45pm. I loaded all my machines by 8:00pm but when I went to get change (of course she wasn’t at the counter but outside) she stood there and says “you know we close at 10 right”. I replied yes and then she stood there for a minute before giving me my change. I come in all the way from Amherstview because I like that this place has an attendant and the facility is clean and well maintained. But I will not be coming back again, people deserve to be treated better.

Tom Parks

Very friendly and helpful. The place was very clean and well maintained. So keep up the good work

steven waterman

Nice atmosphere

Barbara Carson

I use fluff and fold. Fast turn around. beautifully folded. Very clean wash room. The only thing missing is diet ginger ale Staff are very polite and helpful.

Mary Tolbert

In Kingston dry cleaners might seems the same but this place made it so fast and simple! I mostly do laundry at Surf's Up! but I tried their dry cleaning services and the turn around time was two days after they told me three days. I thought that was the best part but of course the real test is how good your clothes look. The were like new! Add great staff and a really comfy cozy spot I wouldn't recommend anywhere else. Two thumbs up!

Mindy Chibirka

Great place to do your laundry. There is snacks, drinks and ice cream on site.

Ben Han

Asked to shorten the pants, took almost a month. Yet length of two spans are different. Well done so called "15-years of experience" .Terrible terrible place, I wish they take their buisness more seriously. You are not kid selling lemonade. Nontheless, Wosrt service i have ever had in my life. If you would like to get mad I recommend using here, else don't use this place

Jennifer Mary Harquail

Surfs Up is located on Bath Road and has convenient parking and is very clean and professional. The reason why I only gave it 4 stars is I think it should have better hours.

M.J. Richmond

I was just turned away 40 mins before closing because it was too late for me to use their washers - and I didn't need to dry anything. The women even said so her self it only took 25 mins for the machines. She was RUDE and I will not return!!!!! I have used this laundromat regularly for the last 7 years and will not recommend them again to anyone! If your open till 10 PM then let me use the washers until 10 PM!!!

Barry Fry

This place is an awesome place to do laundry. Very cozy and comfortable.

Alireza Jalaeian

Friendly staff, goos price and on time service. Definitely recommend it!

Perry Mac Donald

February 6 2021 I was there today and found it to be very clean and tidy . The lady at the desk was very courteous and helpful . The only one thing I was miffed about was the lady did not wear a mask , otherwise I would have given a 5 star rating .

Milad Khademinori

Kind staff!!

DeeDee Coakley

Don't think I will come here again, only stopped in to do laundry because we were in kingston. Asked the lady for change to use the machines she asks what ones I'm planning on using so I tell her the really big ones, she sais "well how many" ofcoarse I didn't know because I had 3 totes of laundry.. then she sais well that's why you should load your machines before asking for change.. like wth really I need to go to through a questioning or application process to get change... she then stops the next customer and tells him he can't have change till he loads his machines... this woman is kinda rude and a bit of a bully

Jonathan E. Thompson

Convenient location with plenty of washer's and driers available including in commercial size. Staff always on hand to make change for customers or sell laundry soap and drier sheet's. Sitting area while you wait and a restroom. Snacks and Ice Cream also available for purchase as well.

Antony Steel

They repaired all their driers! A six-loader, four-loaders, three-loaders. Sort by colour at home. A big lug means fewer trips and better social distancing.

Marguerite ES (Sam)

Home is in BC...laundry needs to get done

Ann R

The washers that are working are good, but lots of them have a sign saying they're out of service. There's a mix of top and front loaders, which I appreciate. The dryers are too expensive!! A real plus is that it's clean.

Justin Smith

Closest laundromat to my place in Portsmouth, good location for bus, clean and lots of machines, nice waiting area, affordable supplies (dryer fabric softener sheet only 25 cents!), close to stores and food places for something to do while you wait

Robert Thompson

Great place

Larrry Galyean

What an accommodating establishment! I was in late to do a load and although they weren't supposed to let me start I was able to strike a deal with the attendant on duty and pick up my dry clothes the next day. Since I was in such a rush the lady working there helped me through picking the best size of washing machine and as I was loading up she took cash and bought my detergent and brought it back to me! Not even my mother has helped that much in over 15 years! I had a great experience doing my regular laundry and if I need dry cleaning in Kingston I will be sure to give them a try.

David McDonald

The place is always clean, the staff are friendly and the machines are always working, rare for me to see an "out of order" sign

Michael K. Myers

Friendly, helpful staff. Top quality machines, that do a great job. Magazines/newspapers, to help spend the time. Or snacks from a well equipped snack bar. Clean. Solar panels on the roof! Lots of parking. In amongst other interesting shops. Best laundromat I've been to.

tessa downey

This place used to be nice about 1.5 years ago but recently when I returned the lady working was HORRIBLE to the customers. She refused me change for the machines because I had too much laundry to do.. Its a damn laundromat...they are supposed to have change available aren't they!? .... so after lugging ALL of my stuff in I had to turn around and haul it BACK to my car! She didn't even help hold the door open while standing right beside me watching me struggle. Horrible! I ended up checking out Frontenac Coin Laundry (I think that's the name) based on amazing reviews and wow was I ever impressed with the service! The owner is the sweetest man ever and so attentive and helpful. Skip Surfs Up and their god awful staff and head over to Frontenac's!!

jeffery Smith

It's good the service is pretty good the prices are okay there higher than some places however they are close to average the hours are reasonable

Kate Hart

A large variety of washing machine sizes from regular to giant ones that can handle large comforters etc. Attendant on duty. They also offer drop off service. No one likes doing laundry. This store makes it easy and comfortable.

Garrett William Jones

They're current attendant has a very rude attitude. After a flood of our basement we took 4 bags to Surfs up and were treated like garbage for needing to do laundry. She became agitated because it was 830 and they closed at 10. Very unacceptable for a company trying to make it in today's economy to almost deny and turn away people. Guess from now on we use the Divison street laundry mat since they don't treate people poorly.

Cody O'Neil

Hit or miss. Almost half the machines are out of order, not exaggerating.

HelloDolly

Lots of machines, large seating area, super clean. A++

Lexus Travels

Clean, friendly and reasonable pricing.

ehti m duguay

Was our first time at Surf's up and it was fantastic. Lots of machines which were super clean and the store is very bright. Tables and chairs to sit while you wait. The Attendant was really helpful as well. She made us feel welcomed. Great laundromat for sure. Thanks

Kevin Corcoran

Very good triple loader machine that I like best. Gets your clothes super clean!

lydia li

Went to visit my daughter at Queens and dropped by here to take a look at the services offered at this laundromat. Although it was for a short time, I saw that the place had converted a pizzeria and laundromat together. It was nice to be able to grab a bite while doing laundry. The staff here are friendly too.

Noa Sliwa

nice and clean. 6$ or 7.50$ or even 9$ for a load of laundry!!! so expensive! im from toronto, and its like 2.25$ in the downtown core! dryers are 25 cents for 4 minutes. i think these prices are a little crazy. nice staff, clean and comfortable environment. nice tables and chairs to sit on while you wait and snacks are available to be bought.

Graeme Pollard

Pleasant helpful and good to to talk to. Has cafe.

john Mirski

Fast friendly service. Convenient hours. I have been a customer since they opened.

MARK TRICKEY

Great place. Great staff

Mel Bergeron

Poor customer service. Talking to me as if I'm a child that's never done laundry and doesn't know how to use a dryer. 38 years old. Done laundry since I was 5. Dryer not worker clothes cool instead of warm on high heat. Won't take ownership.they also like to look in your direction and whisper and laugh. Very rude service. Disgusting behaviour

Brendan Ryde

Lots of machines, can accomodate very large loads. Very friendly staff.

Don Bernard

Did renovations here

Liz Thompson

Clean..bigfer machines, can do more laundry quicker, although the dryers take forever

Robert Pike

Poor customer service.

Sunil Chaudhry

A great location with ample parking. Friendly efficient staff that were very helpful when needed. Lots of high quality washers and dryers.

Vinith Reddy

Arkanum TAROT

Awalys friendly helpful staff...ladies are always polite and smiling...just makes your day to go do your.laundry there!????????????

Andrew S

This review is for Dry Cleaning only. I brought in a cashmere half zip sweater for dry cleaning in fall 2019. Surf's Up was close to my home so I chose them, despite not so great reviews. Service was perfect, price was competitive, and time for dry cleaning was as expected. They got the stain out but ruined the sweater. The sweater was form fitting especially at the waist, but when I got it back it was about two sizes too big and kind of wrinkly, so somehow in their cleaning process they had stretched it out and it is not possible to regain the shape. Expensive sweater is unwearable now. I didn't go back to complain because i figured there was no point and I had no proof of what it looked like before. I would choose somewhere else for dry cleaning needs unless your're desperate. Facility overall looks clean and well equipped for laundry.

Kyle Newman

Terrible! Almost half the machines are out of order (I counted 18 that I could see) And EVERY machine has mold in the detergent thing. Never coming back. I'd rather wash in my kitchen sink!

jacob macinnis

Price was fair and good washers/dryers, but the lady was so crabby and rude. She seemed frustrated when I wanted change and miscounted.

M L P

I had a really wonderful experience at this laundry mat today. The lady there was so kind and helpful. My laundry was ready and folded 3 hours sooner than I had expected it to be. She also was kind enough to put the laundry in new bags for free because the garbage bags I had brought them in were wet. Very pleased with the experience.

Ally Cun

Laundry machines are good but DO NOT send your dry cleaning here. My stuff came back just as dirty as when I sent it in, it looked like they just put it in a bag and handed it back to me

Killshot Supreme

Was a very clean laundromat and the staff is always super nice and are always happy to lend a hand if needed. If you're looking for a good laundromat in Kingston I would definitely recommend this one!

Piere Lauzon

This is a beautiful place that I enjoyed doing laundry..first time there will go back.. it's very clean and nice place too sit down and read a book . thumbs up for Surf's Up..

Carl Nash

Good friendly service

Chris Paulins

Yay laundry lol!!!

S Shall

Big machines...

James Robbins

Clean environment, fast washers! Dryers are expensive and inefficient. The dryers do not seem to blow hot enough air to effectively dry clothes.

Tanis Thibodeau

I have been there 3 times, and have had two different woman, who were both rude and unpleasant! One was especially rude and very nosey!

Roy Ambury

Good machines, eco-friendly place

Suzanne Smith

Always friendly staff. Cleanliness is top notch and machines are great price, clean and do a great job. Only place I go.

bendre

Excellent service with a friendly staff. Turn-around times are spectacular. Very professional. Highly recommend.

Nadia Mosakoski

These folks are saints. I used Surfs Up for their wash and fold service for nearly three years and I love it. a) It is really affordable. I can get two weeks washed and folded for like $25. Wonderful price. b) They are really nice and kind people. What more could you want from a service?

Isaac Salaam

Dryers are not good at all spent much more than other places in town

Max Howe

Who doesn't love surfs up!? Best laundromat in the area. Snacks, multiple large machines, tables and chairs - super comfortable place to do your laundry.

Maria Constandinou

Got all my comforters and large blankets cleaned and dried using the XL machines. Didn't know how it all worked, staff there are very friendly and helpful. Clean facility. Going back for spring cleaning - I'm a little late!

Scott Rushton

Best place for doing laundry in Kingston. Clean, reliable machines. Food and beverage counter is handy. Staff aren't too bad either.

Chantal Damphousse

Great facilities! I was looking for dry cleaners in Kingston and this place popped up out of nowhere while driving down bath road. I was in and out in minutes and my leather came back looking like when I bought it! I have had bad experiences before when taking leather to be cleaned but I found my place for all my dry cleaning! I highly recommend this place!

Carly Hudson

First time being here to wash some king size blankets that don't fit in my own washing machine and I am very impressed! Machines are huge! And quick! Also a wonderful lady (the owner perhaps?) helped me out after noticing I was struggling to figure out what I was doing... such great service! I will be back for sure!

martin forcier

Clean but expensive to do laundry in small machines

Celiah Dale

The mat itself is lovely, many machines, it's clean, all machines are in working order and adorable inside. BUT. Everytime I come in to use the driers the lady working is just the RUDEST woman that I have encountered in a service location. I asked her a simple question, if there were any driers that may be higher power and she spat back at me "they're all the same" in just the rudest tone, I could not believe it. I then needed change, and she did not speak to me at all... dumped the change I had asked for in my hand and then stormed away. I manage a retail store and I have encountered rude customers before but I am just astonished as this is the THIRD time I have had the same experience with this woman. If this weren't the only mat open late then there is no way I would continue coming here.

Sandra Leishman

Great people! Great service!

Donna Lynn

This will be the last place I ever go to do my laundry

Joanne Reid

This place is NOT opened until 10pm as listed on Google. I went at 9:15pm and was told that I was not allowed to start a load of laundry after 8:45pm. What a waste of time!!

Paaws Holmes

Very clean. Very nice helpful staff. Excellent place.

Samantha M

It’s always the rude overwieighttt Karen’s with so much attitude for no reason... Came here asked the lady for a $ 10 in loonies her response “ WelL MaYbE if you came in with some clothes I can give u change.. “ don’t talk to ppl like they’re children totally disgusting .. i see there are a lot of bad reviews as I type this so I went to another one down the street .. hate doing business with bad energy

Catina Brewer

I have always felt welcome and they are always friendly and happy to help. The place is always clean and refreshing.
