Bubble Laundromat

I used their wash n fold service on Monday, 47 pounds for $ 47 dropped off around 10 and picked up at 6. I have a small washer and dryer where I live that never seems to get all the pet fur off my clothing and blankets, so I had thought to try this out. My clothes seem clean and smell pleasant and were neatly packaged into 2 large bundles in shopping bags. I paid cash. The website for this place has pictures that do not resemble the actual storefront, but other than that, excellent. There is still a little fur on my black t-​shirts, but not nearly as much.

My goto spot! Clothes always super clean, same day service, and professionally done. These people have their act together.

So, based on the positive reviews and the referral of a friend, I decided to try out the wash and fold service here. As such, my review is based entirely on the wash and fold service.
While I was hoping that this would work very well for me (as doing laundry is one of my least favorite things) I will never return to this place. The staff were rather dry and less than friendly. I’m a pretty pleasant person so I tried to make some slight small talk, rather than just dumping my clothes on the counter getting them weighed, and plopping down some cash before I walk out. I mean, I’m bringing my unmentionables in here. The least I can do is say «hello», «how are you», «how was your day»… No one here seemed to be too receptive to that. No biggie, I can do strictly business. But even the business part of it was lacking.
I brought in a laundry bag of clothing on Saturday to pick up on Sunday. when I picked the items up, it seemed like something was missing. So, I asked the lady that handed me my laundry if that was everything. She said yes, and returned to folding another order. Before leaving, I did realize that my laundry bag was not packed with my items so, I went back and retrieved it. Again, I was assured that I had everything so I went home. I got home and started to unpack my clothes when I realized that something was definitely missing. My towels and socks. I called the next morning and the person who answered the phone was already aware that I hadn’t gotten all of my items. I was told thatI had left them there (despite the fact that I had asked repeatedly was I given everything, and was told yes). I went back to pick up the missing items on Monday and decided to weigh them myself at home to make sure I had everything. Despite dropping off 28 pounds of clothes, I had right at 20 pounds of laundry returned to me. I know that moisture and dirt are involved but, I highly doubt that I had 8 pounds of perspiration and so forth in the laundry. I went back again to make sure that all of my items were returned to me and again I was assured that everything was there. Then I was told by the manager there that 20 pounds of laundry can weigh in at 50+ pounds due to moisture. While I guess that could be true, I’m not A swimmer and I don’t work outdoors; so, my clothing is not typically left sopping wet with any type of moisture. This manager also stated that he had been informed that I «left» my laundry there on Sunday. I didn’t feel like I was dealing with someone who cared about customer service. In general, the manager was very argumentative and didn’t seem to want to hear anything that I had to say. Overall, it was quite the draining experience, much like this long review.
Maybe this place has been great to some people but, of my two experiences here, there’s nothing that makes me want to come back. If you do decide to venture here, I would recommend keeping a close eye on what you dropped off & making sure that you get all of it back. Also, don’t try too much to be personable, they’re not interested. And also, don’t look for any type of management intervention with an issue. All you’ll get is attitude and disinterest.

Used this place quite a bit over the past few months.
First, I’ll say that their $ 1/​lb wash and fold service is a really good deal (and kind of makes me wonder how they can afford to pay their employees a living wage, but I digress). They will pickup and deliver for an extra $ 5 each way, which is great if you’re busy and don’t have time/​patience to fight your way through the madness of Seven Corners multiple times a day.
Downsides: My clothes never seemed to get very clean, on several occasions they came back with otherwise-​washable gunk still on them, but they did come back smelling super strongly of some flowery scent. I dealt with it, but my kid broke out in rashes a few times after Bubble washed her clothes. If you have sensitive skin, or you don’t like smelling very fragrant like cheap Febreeze, this may be an issue. I would not recommend them for delicates (mine came back wet in a little bag, although the rest of the clothes were dry).
Also: I attempted to use their drycleaning service, which was a disappointing experience. I brought in a few shirts on Tuesday, and asked when they would be ready. «Next Tuesday» was the response. Over a WEEK for a few shirts? Why so long? «They don’t work weekends.» OK, but that doesn’t really answer my question. I went to the next drycleaners down the street and my clothes were ready in 2 days, for a lower price than Bubble was quoting me.
Bottom line, I might use again for the convenience factor, but I would check elsewhere first…

Laundry by the Pound, great people and fast service

Clean. Easy wash day

This was nice and clean with plenty of washers and dryers available.
I went there because my washer is on the fritz. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to a laundromat, so I didn’t realize they had become fairly expensive ($ 3.75 for a wash, $ 2.50 for a 30 minute dry). The dryers are huge though, so you can put 2 wash loads in 1 dryer. I understand that’s the going rate, so I’m not complaining.
It’s great, too, if you have a lot to do as you can get it all done at once.
If I didn’t have a washer/​dryer at home, I’d consider using their wash and fold service as the person doing it looked very efficient.

Great prices and service. My clothes look like new :)

Really great and efficient service. They pick up and deliver!

Clean. Probably the MOST important feature.
Lots of machines.
Not very crowded — even on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
I was able to wash and dry my humongous down comforter for $ 5. That sure beats paying $ 50 to get it professional dry cleaned. Woo hoo!
It’s everything I imagine a laundromat to be!

They did an excellent job with my king sized bed linen. I dropped it off with detergent and dryer sheets, went shopping, and picked it up a few hours later when they called. Great service and will definitely use them again!

This place is awesome. We used the $ 1 per pound wash and fold service. We dropped off 26lbs worth of laundry Friday evening and requested delivery back to our home for an extra $ 5 and they brought everything back around 9am then next day Saturday morning!!! We sorted items into 1 bag normal wash and dry, 1 bag bleach whites and 1 bag wash and hang dry. Clothes were super clean and my whites were brighter white than I’ve ever been able to get them. Clothes that we requested to hang dry arrived on hangers and the rest perfectly folded. Everything smelled super fresh and wonderful. Will DEFINITELY use them again. Fantastic job!!!
Just FYI this place is CASH only, but they do have an ATM on site (charges $ 2.50).

Dropped off my clothes and they were neatly folded :D
They forgot to give me back my laundry basket, but at least they called me back. Nice place and people — helped me carry my laundry back to my car, and I got to pay my balance ($ 5) at pick up! :D

I love this place. You can count on very courteous, professional treatment whether you drop off and pick up your laundry or do it yourself at the plentiful facility. It is neat and clean. There are TVs and places to sit while you wait. Lots of washers and dryers to use if you do it yourself, plus detergents and bleaches and dryer sheets are sold on site. The prices are reasonable when you drop off and pick up. All my clothes are neatly folded and smell fantastic. A dollar a pound for that. It is the best I’ve seen of local laundromats in years. I get other errands done while I wait for my pick up time. A real time saver for me. I’m a very grateful customer!

Started bringing my dry cleaning with my wash and fold. Bubble not only does a great job with wash and fold but dry cleaning too. What’s the point in doing your laundry when you can have them do it for you? Life just got easier. :)

I tried this laundromat because of all the positive reviews here. They were all true! The staff were friendly; the place was clean. The laundry products they sold were reasonably priced, as were the washers and dryers. I chose to do my own laundry and was able to do three loads at once. I was finished in just under two hours from wash to fold. And here’s the weird thing: I had a great time and felt a little pampered when I left. IKR? But, I did. If only I could do it that quickly at home! I will use them again!

I’ve just recently discover their wash-​n-​fold service ($ 1/​lb as of Sept 2014), and I’ll admit it seemed like a silly splurge the first time I dropped off clothes, but I quickly realized it’s very economical! I can drop off my bags of clothes and get same-​day return of everything perfectly clean, folded & ready to put away once I’m home. I live in an apartment, and I could certainly use the machines there if I can scrounge up enough quarters, but taking advantage of Bubble’s awesome service frees me up to do other errands (no more waiting or watching the machines) or focus on something besides an afternoon sucked away in Laundry Ville! I’m a pleased customer, and would definitely recommend you check Bubble Laundry out!

Let me start by saying, i’m a proper southern gentleman who lives in North Arlington, and I perhaps have the only apartment in all of North ARL that doesn’t have a washer/​dryer.
With my puritan style work ethic, i used to take my dirty unmentionables here on the bi-​weekly to launder them myself. For a while, I thought it better value to do this task myself, but then i just got straight lazy and determined my time was far too valuable to waste by doing laundry.
So i eventually realized it was incredibly worthwhile to outsource this miserable task to others. At $ 1/​lb this is probably on par with other local establishments. What’s not on par is the cleanliness, customer services, and amazing job they do washing and folding my said dirty unmentionables. I’ve never had such crisp folds and wonderfully flowery smelling laundry.
Again, drawing upon my incredible laziness, i first would drop my clothes off at Bubble in 7 corners, an area I avoid like STD’s. I later realized for the incredibly lazy they will actually pick up your dirty unmentionables for $ 5 per pick up /​drop off. So an extra $ 10 to not have to leave my house, goddamn what was i EVER thinking.
Best thing ever!

Great service … Extremely Convenient… Most thorough wash. The same day wash and fold service was impressive. My laundry came back the cleanest they’ve been in awhile; apartment unit washers have been my go-​to prior but I think I’ll be making the switch to this service through out my busy seasons. I would highly recommend this service. Can’t wait for their new location to open near south Arlington/​Alexandria.
Don’t be alarmed at how busy the actual place looks… The service is done on time with great quality.

There are some things I absolutely dread: taking my car to get the oil changed, going to the tailor (undressing makes me cold and changing into different items is tiring), and figuring out what to do with hard-​to-​wash items like my fake-​me-​out down comforter.
Then I learned about this amazing gift to man, wash and fold services, and I was directed to Bubbles. Five enthusiastic stars for prompt and reliable service. In this fast-​paced world, same-​day service is always desirable, and Bubble knows that. I returned within four hours, and my big, fluffy comforter was ready to go. Spotless and in the same state as when I dropped it off.
I learned that they can also deliver your freshly washed items to you, too! How nice. This great time-​saving business can’t possibly be good for me. I’m lazy as is. However, I’m sure the owner has helped many, many busy moms and other people who have better excuses to maximize their time and pay to have their chores taken care of.
