We keep it simple: clean stores, machines that work, and hours that fit real life.
Bright, well-kept spaces with tidy folding tables and checkerboard floors you'll actually want to spend time in.
Commercial washers and dryers in multiple sizes — do a week of laundry in a fraction of the time.
Early birds and night owls welcome. Open every day including holidays, until 11 PM or midnight.
Answer emails, stream a show or catch up on reading while your clothes spin.
Forgot detergent? No problem. Soap vending and change machines are inside both stores.
Rolling carts, plenty of folding space and comfortable benches make the whole visit easier.
Laundry is a chore — the place you do it shouldn't be. Here's what you can count on every visit.
High-efficiency commercial equipment, maintained so you're not stuck with a broken dryer mid-load.
Floors swept, tables wiped, and bright lighting whether you come at 5 AM or 10 PM.
Long folding counters and rolling carts mean you're never balancing a basket on your knee.
Bigger machines mean fewer loads. Here's a quick guide to what fits where.
Everyday clothes — about one full laundry basket.
Towels, bed sheets, jeans and heavier mixed loads.
Queen comforters, blankets and a week of family laundry.
King comforters, sleeping bags, pet beds and bulky items.
Approximate guide — machine sizes and pricing vary by location. Check the label on each machine.
First time at Bubbles? Here's how a typical visit goes.
Use the change machine for quarters and pick up detergent from the soap vending machine if you need it.
Choose a washer sized for your load, add detergent, insert coins and select your cycle.
Move clothes to one of our big commercial dryers — they dry faster than typical home machines.
Spread out on our folding tables, load up a cart, and head home with everything fresh.
A few small habits that keep your clothes looking great and your visit short.
Separate darks, lights and heavy items at home — you'll grab machines faster and avoid color bleeding.
Fill washers about three-quarters full so clothes can tumble freely and actually get clean.
High-efficiency machines need less detergent. Too much leaves residue and can extend rinse time.
Pens, tissues and lip balm can ruin a whole load — a quick pocket check saves the day.
Dry towels and heavy fabrics separately from lightweight clothes for faster, more even drying.
Fold straight from the dryer on our big tables to keep wrinkles away and skip the ironing.
Everything you need to know before your first visit.
Both stores open at 5 AM every day of the year — weekends and holidays included. Mrs. Bubbles in Burlingame stays open until midnight; Mr. Bubbles in San Mateo closes at 11 PM.
To make sure you have time to wash and dry, we recommend starting your final wash at least an hour before closing.
Our washers and dryers are coin-operated. Both locations have change machines on-site, and the Burlingame store has an ATM inside.
You're welcome to bring your own, but you don't have to — both stores have soap vending machines stocked with detergent, softener and laundry bags.
Absolutely. Our large-capacity commercial washers and big dryers handle comforters, duvets, sleeping bags, pet beds and more — often in a single load.
Yes — free wireless internet is available at both locations, so you can work, stream or scroll while you wait.
Please stay with your laundry. We can't be responsible for lost or damaged items, and unattended loads may hold up machines for other customers.
To keep things clean and comfortable for everyone: no alcohol, pets or loitering, and please follow posted machine instructions (for example, no extra soap in the dryers).
Open at 5 AM every day in Burlingame and San Mateo. No appointment needed — just bring your basket.
