Mr Bubble Coin Laundry

Washers don’t do a great job and you aren’t allowed to use dryers unless you are washing. Also kind of expensive.

It equals to be about the same price to wash and dry as the machines in my apartment building. so that’s a plus.
I came here one sunday because I had a lot to do and I was able to do about 8 loads in an hour and a half. plus!
My only complaint was that even my small loads had to be dried twice, so it ended up being a little more expensive than the machines in my place. negative.
It’s convenient, the parking was okay. I found a spot but about an hour later and there wouldn’t have been one.
I think I will continue to do loads at my place but when it builds up and I need to do sheets and towels, I will come back.
I had to run across the street to go to the atm at the gas station, would be nice to have one either. But next time I will know to bring more money for quarters.
I think it was $ 3.75 per wash and $.25 per dry. But again, I had to dry everything twice.

I love this place — it’s convenient, parking, clean, good Staff. My favorite place to wash my clothes.

So I came here to do my clothes because my laundry machine and my dryer was out. So I came here while I was waiting for my replacement to get delivered to my house and I really like this place. The lady that was cleaning I have to say was doing quite the thorough job of everything.
I wish I could own one of these 80 pound washing machines in my house but it made things a lot easier when I threw everything in it and probably cut my time down quite a bit. The same with the dryers. But you need to have change because there is no ATM in here. The 7-​Eleven across the street does have an ATM.
The parking lot is small and it is shared with a little mexican restaurant, but it wasn’t full when I went there. I now have a washer and dryer at home but if I ever need to go back there I would and it’s a bit of a drive from my house and I would go there if the other place that’s close to me is closed so it would be a good backup place.

Poor. Washes are pretty short and dryers take forever to dry making you have to use a lot of quarters. Not the most aesthetically pleasing place either. Parking is cramped and difficult to leave. Difficult to find employees as they are not wearing uniforms.

super clean, tons of washers & dryers. the washers are HUGE too! they even have the «Magnum» washers that fit like 8 loads in them. prices are moderate compared to the amount of clothes the machines can hold. definitely a great laundromat if you have a mass amount of dirty laundry from putting it off for a month, like me.

On a whim, my husband and I decided to try doing our massive piles of laundry at Mr Bubble. It was clean, people were pleasant, and I washed/​dried/​folded ~10 loads of laundry in an hour and a half. Great laundromat, safe place, and they have a parking lot.

Don’t get fooled by the cheap dryer. They are charging a lot on washer. They are way expensive than other laundromats. Parking is free but nowhere to park.
Totally annoyed by kids running around and yelling. Attendant really didn’t care about it. No help whatsoever incase you needed one. Don’t bother to ask. The place had filled with dirty soap on top of lid looks nasty. Dryer smelled like smelly feet and smelled like old egg. I washed twice and smelled exactly same way. It seems like nobody cleans it. They use cheap soap for drop off service, cloth didn’t smell good. I would not recommend this laundry place. Do not go on sat, Sunday. People wait too long for dryers to open up. It simply is not worth it.

Pros
Clean tables
4 sizes washing machines
3 load
4 load.
5 load.
7 loud …;)
All front door
Vending machines for
Soaps … Coins … Plastic bags. Candies. Beverages. Chocolate bars … Toys

The lady there is so helpful and friendly she clean mostly every thing after ever use
Plenty of seats and tables
Cons
Prices little high
The carts for dirty clothes the same for clean so bring your basket
No special tables for dirty clothes and others for the clean ones
Sorry that I’m editing my review b/​c that my clothes smell not good after washing though I used fabric softener. I think the washers filters need to be cleaned up.
I will down rank them from 4 to 3 stats…:(

Star #1 for a free parking lot.
Star #2 for reasonably priced washers (I believe it is $ 3 for the smallest washer and $ 7 for the largest)
Star #3 for cheap dryers (25¢ for 15 minutes and I’ve never needed more than 30 minutes)
Star #4 for the entire place being clean, well lit, and FREE WIFI
Star #5 for the well priced drop off 75¢/pound

I don’t do laundry often, but when I do I chose Mr. Bubble on Irving!
…wait, that didn’t come out right…
What I meant to say was that I don’t do my comforter often, but when I do, I bring it to Mr. Bubble. The reasons are abound, so see below.
1. Clean — this location is almost always spotless
2. Machines — there are various sizes of machines for any size load
3. Parking — it easy, there are always spots close to the door
4. Clothes come out clean — I always feel like my clothes come out cleaner here than anywhere else (laundromat or my building washers)

This place isn’t too bad, and it’s located rather close to me so I’ve been using it when I need to do laundry.
There aren’t a lot of places to sit down inside while your clothes are tumbling. The seats they do have, however, aren’t seats that make you want to sit for long.
I usually load the washing machines and then sit in my car, in their parking lot, biding time until my clothes are finished.
WASHERS: You’ll want to make sure the hot water works in the machine you’re going to use before you load it with your clothes, or feel the glass of the side loaders as it fills up with water. If you don’t check, don’t be surprised if all your your clothes get washed in cold water instead of warm or hot.
Initially I thought this might be intentional, saving on hot water by not providing any. I haven’t ruled that out yet.
DRYERS: When you load the front load dryers, don’t put too many clothes in them. When you do, and they fall out onto the ground, if your sitting in your car while waiting for the time to expire, despite the number of times the women working there will come outside and say hello while enjoying a smoke, when you go back inside, finding your clothes spilling onto the floor, she’ll look at you like you’re an idiot for not seeing it in her eyes when she was chatting you up, through the thin layer of smoke.
NO EXTRA MILE: It’s not their responsibility to tell someone if they’re an idiot for overloading a dryer (guilty), but don’t expect a courtesy, like ‘oh by the way,’ puff, puff, ‘that dryer i saw you overload with your clothes, it spilled all of them onto the floor. You should probably take care of that’). Because that won’t happen.
MORE DRYER: Don’t use a front load dryer if the timer light isn’t brightly lit. I used one last time, where the digital timer on it was only dimly lit, and might have even been flickering slightly. (I’m assuming it’s related, maybe not).
The owner said he had to relight the pilot light and said the dryer would heat up shortly. It never did. The woman working there refunded me, and gave me a free condescending look to go, slapping an ‘out of order’ sign on it promptly after refunding me.
GOODS: This place is relatively clean. Its clientele is fine, nothing too strange, no one too dangerous, and the neighborhood isn’t too sketchy, at least night while the sun’s still up. Just don’t look strange people directly in the eyes.
$$: If you use a dryer that works, its cheap. 25 cents for fifteen minutes of good heat. The washers aren’t horribly priced either, $ 4.25 or $ 5.25 (I can’t remember) for a medium sized side loader.
RESULT: This place is alright, but after writing this review I’ve realized something. The next time I do my laundry, I’ll be trying somewhere else. Branching out will give me a better understanding as to how this place rates, compared to the number of other laundromats in my vicinity. I’ll let you know what I find.

I gave mr bubble a try. First time i was so happy. i went at night the lady was so nice gave me a reason to comeback.
Second time not sure the lady n a guy (two attendant?) where giving an eye like if i was going to steel something n it felt so uncomfarble like if i wasnt want it, felt like that for 3 hours :(Wtf can i still something at a laundry i mean i was not looking sexy cuz it was at 6 in the morning but come on laundry? Anyways not sure if i want to come back.

Ah Mr. Bubble. You let me down.
I’ve used you late night before. I like colorful, all-​night laundromats. For me productive insomnia becomes a glass half full.
You’re well lit Mr. Bubble. You’ve got a fun name, lots of TV’s not blaring Spanish-​language telenovelas, a varied soda selection in the machines, relatively hot dryers. I like these things.
Clean blankets and never a problem… until 1:43am this morning.
Now that you aren’t open 24 hours any longer TAKE DOWN THE MASSIVE SIGN STATING YOU ARE OPEN 24 &%$@%^& HOURS.

Conveniently located and they have a small private parking lot, which helps when you’re trucking 38 loads of laundry in during one visit. Not that I’ve ever done that…
I’ve done my dirties here a few times now, and everything went just as it should. They have plenty of machines and I’ve only seen one washing machine out of order at one time. They have soap and coin dispensers, pretty straightforward. It’s very clean for a laundromat. That’s definitely a plus since I like my clothes/​towels/​sheets to remain clean when I put them on a folding table right after I wash and dry them.
A couple complaints — once I went to dry my clothes and opened up one of the dryers and it smelled like someone stuck their sweaty feet into a puddle of month-​old egg yolks. Sorry to be graphic, but it wasn’t a pleasant smell. Fortunately, it was only that one dryer and I was able to load my clothes into another less-​foul dryer. Also — the kids in here are outta control. They run around and freak out like it’s a McDonald’s play place. I just want to throw them in one of the commercial-​sized washing machines.
Just some notes to anyone curious about Mr. Bubble — every time I’ve been there now (I usually go in the late afternoons/​evenings) I’ve been chatted up and then asked for change by an older lady using a walker. I think she’s there every day. She’s not mean or pushy, but it is a little annoying when you’re just trying to read or work on your laptop while you’re waiting. I’ve also been solicited by a dude selling DVDs while I was folding my clothes. Again, it didn’t bother me too much. It kind of adds a little character to the joint, hah. But take it as a word of caution if you hate that sort of thing.

Mr Bubble–
Will you marry me?
Cause that’s how much I love you for perfectly washing and folding a week’s worth of laundry for about $ 20.
xoxo
The future… Mrs Bubble

I LOVE THIS PLACE!
Ok when I discovered drop off laundry service here, I thought that I had died and gone to heaven. My first 4 experiences with them has been nothing short of fantastic. I bring in my 3 heavy bags of laundry and 4 hours later, I come back and I pick up my wrinkle free, very nicely folded, wonderful smelling laundry. Oh heavenly joy! I hate hate hate laundry. It can be a tad pricey– my 3 heavy bags worth of laundry cost about $ 35, but that is $ 35 well worth the cost. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of this laundromat.

This may possibly be the cleanest laundromat I have ever ventured into. Alright, fine, it actually is the cleanest — to the extent that I feel a little guilty when the weather goes all typical Chicago (aka crappy) and my little cart tracks in dirt and water onto the shiny floor. The machines are kept in decent condition with very few ever out of order. The cost to wash seems a little high to me, but I have no real basis for comparison. Also, since I seem to wait until I absolutely HAVE to do laundry, that could be part of the reason that it seems to cost me a small fortune.
My only real complaint is the children. I’m not trying to be all baby-​hater here, but holy hell does there need to be some sort of parental authority happening that isn’t. Unfortunately, I know better than to think that my little review is magically going to fix this issue. However, it would be great if management addressed the problem — and it IS a problem — with the staff and suggested ways to handle certain situations.
If that day ever comes, I will bump up my rating in a heartbeat. Also, it’s 2011, maybe add in some wifi service to ease the hours spent here. That would make it a lot easier to deal with the kid playing hide and seek beneath my table while I am folding my delicates.

As a lazy guy who lives in a laundry-​less building, I have experienced many laundry mats in Chicago. The first couple of years I did it myself, but then I learned about drop-​off service. I have been using Mr Bubble for some time now, and now I am getting a place with in-​unit laundry, I felt I needed to say thank you, by writing a review.
What do you need in a drop off laundry service? (1) Good price, check = 75 cents per pound (2) clean, dry clothes, check = sounds dumb, but a couple places I used to go just couldn’t get it right, (3) Nice people, double check = especially once they get to know you.
So what more do you want? I suppose location would be the 5^th star. But other than that, its a great place with good people who get the job done.

So far this is the best damn drop off service in Chicago!!! They will do your laundry exactly the way you want it done! 75 cents a pound (bring your own detergent if you don’t like what they have) washed –folded –and awesome! They have some old school video games and enough vending machine junk food to put anyone in a diabetic or high cholesterol explosion. But if you want to do your own laundry. their machines are new and clean (unlike the disgusting washing well down the street) and their dryers are sweet! service with a smile (there is this one lady there that is kind of grumpy sometimes but once your nice to her she calms down)!
Now go get your clothes clean!!!
