Bubbles Laundromat

My clothes are currently trapped in a screaming washing machine as I type this.
The machine has been ringing for almost an hour now. The door won’t unlock. Nothing works — emergency stop, adding more quarters, pushing the start button, nothing.
I’ve called their «emergency» number, the only piece of contact information I can find, over a DOZEN times in the last hour, have left two voicemails, and have sent several text messages to it. No one answers or responds or calls back.
I’ve now had to just abandon a large load of my clothes because I haven’t heard from anyone and I have plans today that I am bailing on because of this. Beyond furious.

It’s been closed for about 3 weeks. It’s my understanding that the owner of the building refused to renew the lease and they’d been operating under a month-to=month for a couple of years — finally they apparently had to move out! I’ll miss it!

Went to Bubbles today for the first time. I’ve lived in 5 different neighborhoods in the city, and have never seen such an empty laundromat — only 1 guy came in during the time that I was there — which is great news for me, since there was no issue of fighting for any machines.
I love the location; it’s close to where I live and it’s at the cross section of 22^nd Street and the beautiful, quaint street of Fair Oaks.
You go in, do your business. This place doesn’t mess around — pretty spartan with washers, dryers and a machine to buy extra detergent from.
It would be nice to have a working sink, since the one that was there leaked onto the floor, but other than that, a great place to do laundry.

I don’t appreciate the customers who tie their yappy dogs to the city signs outside and let them screech for hours. Also, the bench nicely placed for dubious looking guys to sit and stare. :(.

Fantastic. OMG. The best. So good. Love it. Fantastic. The best. Seriously. So good. I come here every weekend. I really enjoy its proximity to Dolores park. The best laundromat in the mission.

This place is pretty tiny, but it’s very nice and clean. I like that you can use large load or small load washing machines, and their driers are huge. You pay 25 cents for 7 mins, so you can control how long your clothes stay in there instead of just doing 1 or 2 cycles in the drier. More seating space would be nice for people who want to wait there, but otherwise they have everything you need: change machine, detergent machine, etc.

I was stationed at Bubbles for a couple hours on Saturday, charged with solitarily managing a scavenger hunt task at the Laundromat.
I really appreciate that the attendant and customers thought nothing of having as many as fifteen outlandishly dressed people crowded into the tiny (50 – 75 square feet of open floor space) room, constructing houses of playing cards on every horizontal surface while drinking, cheering and complaining about the habanero peppers they were just forced to eat. The regulars just eased their way around us as though it were an everyday experience. Nobody batted an eyelash. Thanks Bubbles!

this place is quite small. it offers no ameneties except that of a quarter dispenser, a detergent vending machine, and two benches. there is no music, no tv, no soda vending machines, no wash-n-fold.effectively, this is a place to do laundry and get the hell out. because of this, the place is usually quite empty of people who have some form of entertainment to keep them loitering whist their laundry is on spin cycle. i like this. it gives me time to read my book without listening to kids scream while running through the aisles.
cost breakdown: the small-​load washing machines cost $ 2 per load. the large-​capacity ones will run you $ 4. detergent and bleach in powdered form costs $.75. the dryers are $.25 to get started and a quarter for each increment of time added. i usually put in $ 1.50 for around 30 minutes of drying time.
i really only have one complaint. which is the bench inside the place has a loose board. i set my phone on the bench once, sat down, and catapaulted my phone across the room.
