Soap Bubble Laundromat

OMGoodness! I am SO excited that Soap Bubbles is reopening on February 1^st, 2016 after being closed since December 11ish. They had a horribly broken pipe and flood issue. The location is large enough to handle crowds without a long wait for driers. It is clean. The owners and employees (and their pets) are top notch. Excellent customer service and I do not say that often. (BTW if their pets bother you, they will put them behind the baby gate-​all you have to do is ask.)

I’ve always had a good experience doing laundry here. For a boring task, there are plenty of seats to sit on, hangout, read a book, or catch up on homework, while the laundry is finishing. The staff are all very nice and keep a clean, welcoming environment. Many laundromat’s in Portland seem sketchy to me, but this one is not at all. A little pricy but worth it.

Please tell me why you think it’s ok to have a huge dog that looks like a Wolf walk around inside? Please? I do not understand.
I have a small baby and don’t feel comfortable with such a large animal which is basically a part of the staff.
I was talking with the staff and asked if they could put the dog up, only for it to come directly back to me and my baby licking her small leg in the baby carrier. Never again!

I’ve used this laundromat twice to give it a fair shot, and will not go back again. The place is clean etc., but the driers are calibrated so that the spin keeps your clothes plastered against the inner walls. This irons in massive creases. On my second visit, I showed the attendant my crumpled things, and told her that no one wants to have to go home and iron their T-​shirts. She didn’t seem to think that this was any particular problem, and told me the driers can’t be adjusted. So okay, I’m going elsewhere.

Clean, easy laundromat. Very helpful staff — I had no clue how to wash a duvet properly, they helped me figure out the best size machine, setting, etc. It’s always nice when the owners ask how you’re doing and really care to make sure that your experience is positive. Thanks guys!

This review is for the dry cleaning section. We brought a couple of suits here to be dry cleaned and, when we got them home afterwards, noticed that one still smelled dirty. Took it back in and the attendant shrugged and said they didn’t guarantee their work. Offered to clean it again, for another $ 16. Definitely not going back.

Nice, clean, laundromat with a friendly owner, good staff, and great hours.

Yes, the place was clean but two of dryers were broken today, and unfortunately one was mine. My dryer did not have an «out of order sign,» on it, like the dryer beside mine, so I used it. After a half an hour of adding quarters, I opened my dryer to check if anything was dry, and nothing felt hot, the inside of the dryer was only slightly warm. So I told the staff; the young girl said it was working, and the male staff person insisted it was working (although he never even came over to check it.) So, I said it’s not hot at all, then the male staff worker, (who has no customer service skills) got hostile and started to argue with me. He had the nerve, to ask me if I owned laundry mats all over the country. I said no, but I’ve been doing laundry for 51 years. Then I said I was going to have a talk with the manager because of his smart attitude, and he said to go ahead, he couldn’t care less. When I told my daughter the story, she said that must have been the same man that was mean to her last month in that laundry mat. Not a good Sunday for me. :(

This is a clean, comfortable, well run laundromat. The guy behind the counter helped us and answered all our silly questions (we don’t go to laundromats too often). He was super polite and runs it as a safe place to do your wash. All the machines we used were clean and working, and we had no issues at all. Plenty of workspace to fold clothes as well. Highly recommended!

Doing laundry here is a breeze. Every time I’ve gone in the staff has been really really helpful and very kind. They always have some good music playing, if you need anything they don’t mind helping out. They always have the newspaper so I get to do a sudoku while I wait and it’s near a coffee shop so you can get a latte too. The prices are pretty good too, if you know which machine to use.
The ONLY complaint I have is if you leave and you don’t come back before your load is done they won’t wait even a few minutes, so they will take it right out and you come back to your wet clothes in a basket and the discomfort of not knowing who went through your laundry. But the plus of this is at least they are trying to free up machines for everyone!

The Soap Bubble is clean and the attendants are very friendly and helpful. The prices seem to be on par with other laundromats in the area. We just moved to the neighborhood and stopped in here because of Unilocal reviews that they had wifi — if you have to go to the laundromat, might as well be able to get some work done. Unfortunately, the wifi is apparently hit or miss, and today was a miss. Couldn’t get it to pick up anywhere in the joint. I think I’ll continue trying other nearby laundromats to see if I can find one that will satisfy my need to multitask.

This is by far the best laundromat I’ve ever been to. It’s clean, the workers and owner are super friendly and helpful, it’s safe, and the owner is a veteran. They even sell dryer sheets and detergent if you forgot yours!

This is definitely my new go-​to laundromat in Portland! I usually don’t go out to do laundry, but I had a few large items that wouldn’t fit at home.
The owners were definitely friendly and went out of their way to say hello and ask how people doing. They have a few different sizes of machines available, and they all looked modern and clean. In fact, the whole place was pretty clean. There was none of that sticky leftover detergent that I’ve seen at some other places. The machines also allow you to choose an extra dry option at the end to get more water out.
In my excitement to try out a new laundromat, I completely forgot my detergent and dryer sheets! It’s $ 1 for 1 mini box or cup of detergent, and 25 cents per dryer sheet.
There’s plenty of street parking in front as well as around the block. Besides the few 30 minute spots, there are a lot of 1 hour spots. The thing I liked most about Soap Bubble is that an hour is just enough time to do 1 – 2 loads, especially since their dryers work wonderfully fast and have a high heat option!

A very comfy laundromat, clean, friendly owners and employees, and there are always plenty of machines to use! Street parking is plentiful too. And aurora provisions is right next door if you get hungry!

Actually get excited to go here. Super friendly and helpful staff. Wi-​fi, good hours, nice location with 30 minute parking out front for easy unloading.

The staff are very nice and first thing you do when you walk in is ask if they can help with anything. When the machine was not changing the bills to quarters the owner opened it and did it for by hand. The only thing that hurts is the price. 2 dollars for the regular wash, or 3 for the larger washing machine. A quarter gets you 5 minutes in the drying but for half an hour that is 1.25 which does a pretty bang up job. I do miss having a washer and dryer in my apartment.

Great laundromat! The new owner has really brought this place up to speed. All the machines work, and you get a friendly greeting and great service every time! Another plus is free wi-​fi, and I hear new flat screen tv’s are coming soon. The place is always immaculate and you can’t ask for better service. Oh, also, they offer same day wash-​dry-​fold, and they offer next day dry cleaning for the lowest rates in Portland. This place is a gem. And one other thing, this business is owned by a proud veteran… let’s keep this local business prospering.

Standard laundromat. Everything works & the place is clean what more do you need? One caveat though: if you’re bringing along kids make sure you bring them something to do. There are no arcade machines, no Highlights magazine, nothing. Otherwise an A-​OK place.
