Clean and convenient.Wish card didnt cost money, its @$1. Prefer cash. No cash back. $10 min on card. I needed a couple bucks more to add to the dryer, but I needed to put a minimum of $10 on their card. I also cannot get the card down to 0.
The place is very clean, and everything is in good working order.
I was in a house fire June 17, 2021. I was able to save most of my clothes, but they had an awful sooty or mildewy smell. I purchased a product called OdoBan and headed to Soap Opera Laundry on Woodward just south of 63rd street in Downers Grove. I did about 6 loads and dried them. Aaron was very helpful in getting me set up as I hadnt been to a laundromat in 25 years. . Then I had more clothes to do so I brought in 44 pounds of smelly clothes, which Soap Opera Laundry laundered for me and hung all the shirts on hangars. They even added the OdoBan product during the rinse cycle for me. They saved me a huge amount of time, and my clothes smell fresh and not like a campfire anymore. Aaron was very patient with me and was very helpful. He is a great employee. I also saw him help numerous customers while I was there. They are very easy to do business with and really aim to please the customer. 5 star rating for Soap Opera Laundry.
Horrible customer service and the prices so high a $0.44 for 7 minutes for dryers. This afternoon i was came here to pik up my clothes from dryers and i see that my clothes was not there than someone told me the guy work here he put my clothes in his office and he run away for his lunch so i have to wait another 30 min. Even i was late just 10 min after my dryers cut off..!!
This place is clean and in good working order every time I come. The prices are reasonable and the television works
I had an issue with my card working in a machine. A technician working nearby helped me get the machine started before even questioning what the issue was. The attendant that fixed the issue with my paycard (I think Marcus?) was so kind and patient. I met the manager on his way out and he gave me his card and introduced himself. This was the first time I had ever been here. they really care about their customers and it shows.
Very Clean .Attendants on site to assist if necessary. No coins to deal with just card to load money.Open 24 hours.I would HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone 😀
Yeah a clean laundry mat but prices are outrageous to wash and dry .39 cents to dry. Yeah my first and last time here.
Awesome and helpful staff, machines work and I LOVE that its 24hrs! So glad this laundromat is so close to home
Its always great to wash there.
Long time customer, but never received the service like I did today from Nikki her trainee Charm! They were very helpful, professional, friendly. Nikki was a EXCELLENT teacher for both setting her trainee up for success and helping me learn about the laundry experience. Very bright, clean, and better than any other options in the area. Worth passing other laundromats to come to Soap Opera!
I needed to do my laundry as a drop off service and I went to the Soap Opera laundromat. This was my first time doing this type of service. The customer service there is FANTASTIC!!! They hired a new girl Elizabeth and she was super friendly and professional. Her trainer Dale, was patient, kind and helpful to her. He took his time explaining the process, she listened, absorbed and executed. She even called me to tell me my laundry was done and I could pick it up at my convenience. I would definitely do this type of laundry service again!! As far as cleanliness and pricing, very clean and you get what you pay for. They wash, dry and fold b the clothes perfectly!Great job!!Very very satisfied! Ill definitely recommend this place.
This place is hit or miss. Sometimes its clean and a good experience other times not so much
The Downers Grove location was spotlessly clean and sanitized. Dale Bass was extremely helpful and really helped me out as this was my first visit there. Very modern and vending machines were well stocked as well. Will definitely be back and 100% recommend.
Lots of washers and dryers to use. Clean equipment. Staff is always really nice. Open 24hrs which is great. Need active laundry card to get in 10pm to 7am.
We had a fire 2 years ago and had gone to several different laundromats in the area while our house was being rebuilt. This laundromat has the most helpful and friendly staff. It is the cleanest laundromat. I am specifically writing this review because I had such a nice experience with Mike. He was teaching my son to fold fitted sheets today. He is always friendly and helpful.
Been coming here for sometime. Its clean and fairly priced. However, there are a lot of clean and fairly priced laundry places around!The reason I always come back is because of the staff! for example: I was there one morning early and realized I left some clothes that needed cleaned in my storage shed. I was speaking to Nikki B. about my situation.I ran back to the storage shed while I had stuff in the dryer, it was about 20min.When I got back she had hung my shirts on my hangers because the dryer had stopped prior.Its people like this that make the world an easier and more pleasant place!Thanks Nikki!!
Personally I love this location but theres one downfall, The inconvenience of when you load all your laundry into one of the dryers to only come to find out after you sort through it all and your laundry loaded up that dryer unit does not work. It is out of service, the laundry attendant and I chit chatted I do feel it is customer service skills related that if the machine is out of order being respectful to the general public. Because of the fact of when theyre busy not everybody can see those little tiny details and preventing the inconvenience of wasting time for the constomers. To please post a larger sign than to have it on the tiny baby digital sign on the card reader. Because of the fact that when its busy you cant see the tiny little detail. Also when it is busy you dont have many options for what dryers are open and three itll solve the extra work the constomer has to do in order to get their clothes back out of the dryer that does not work to wait and find another dryer that does work.Assigning a bigger sign than the card reader would be greatly appreciated because as we all get older, not everybodys vision is the greatest they do have signs on u-line that you can order that are professional looking and customers would appreciate. I guarantee you it, but again I like that laundry location. Its preferred that I and or my mother go there when we go to that location. But again it would be appreciated if they would please post larger signs so you can see from afar so you dont have to wait till you get right on top of it and load everything in there to discover the dryer does not work and its out of service.
I had a super awesome experience at Soap Opera. The staff is super inviting and makes the full task of doing laundry a great time. Elizabeth really really did a great job of helping me and showing me how the machines works and some tips I might not have otherwise known. 10/10 experience
It looked nice from the outside :/ I went there at 10 pm because the whole world says its open 24 hrs. Well... after 10 pm you have to be a member of their special club to enter and with no way of becoming a member at 10pm all I could see was from the outside looking in. It looked nice, but sadly they did not get my business and I just went down the street and used another that was open until later with no restrictions.
Im 100% satisfied with this place, you can use cash or card to purchase and/or load laundry card. The washers and dryers work and seem to be well clean, its spacious and open 24 hours which fits my work schedule perfectly.. I like how you must have a card to enter after hours. I am really happy to know there is hot water to wash clothes with (last 2 other places had cold water only) ..I just wish I would have found this place before the other two fails.. also thankfully the attendant was available and helpful otherwise I would not have been able to enter after hours for 1st time.. kudos to the staff, i would recommend this place to anyone in need of a laundromat 😁
Such great service here!! Michael is awesome he does his best to keep everything nice and clean,and he likes to make an effort to talk to the customers. Overall, when we come to wash our clothes, we dont mind because the conditions and the service makes it that much easier! Keep up the good work !
Very clean and organized. Clean bathroom. Tons of machines. 4 of the jumbo sized washers.
Great and friendly staff, the operations manager Michael was super helpful with all my questions. This facility is always clean and I actually enjoy coming here when I need to do laundry. Definitely recommend if you need a fast and easy place to wash your clothes. They also do drop off laundry service for those on the run.
This is how long it had been since I was at a laundry mat. I brought a roll of quarters with me.After a good laugh MICHEAL could not have been any more helpful. This is man who knows his machines and customer service. The store was very clean all the way down to cleaning the grout!!Mike is friendly, customer oriented and perfect for this business.I will be backRick Pitlock
Mike the operation manager made my experience one in a life time. Today was my first time visiting a Laundromat and he helped me out every step of the way recommending what washer and dryers to use! Hands down one of the nicest laundromats and super clean!
Mike is the heart of this business. He is super friendly with everyone who walks through the door and greets them with a smile. He is now training employees to be just as great as he is. I will always do my laundry here because of Mile.
This was by far thee most pleasant cleanest laundromat. Mike, the gentleman working there was so nice he walked me though everything, helping me register and explained the whole process. Everything is so updated very nice place to come into.
Convenient open 24 hours security TVs bathroom sodas snacks soaps tables big washers good quality at a fair price
I tend to do wash after normal business hours, even after midnight. I have had the pleasure to meet Mike the operations manager even at these times of day. He commonly interacts with customers offering assistance as needed. On my last visit this past weekend, the magnetic strip started coming off of my card, making it difficult to operate the machines, and even to enter the building. To my great relief Mike showed up, and when I told him my problem, he went to work on fixing my problem and got me set up with a new card. Very thankful for Mike and the 24 hour operation.
Really like going here acouple of stores down is Dunkin grab a Large Hazelnut Ice Coffee while doing laundry
Ehhhhhh.... Id rather go to CD One Price but cant beat the location when in a bind. Just keep an eye on your clothes. Had all my clothes taken from there recently.
Clean great place to do laundry
They have very poor customer service. The machine I was using did not wash my items. They offered to give me 30 minutes of dry time( the equivalent of $1.17) for clothes which were still dirty. I sorted the clothes out that might completely set and put the other clothes in the dryer so that they at least would not mildew before I get a chance to wash them tomorrow. When it came time to start the dryers the employee made a huge deal out of the fact that I had to call 800 numbers and register the card before they can start the dryer. I have been here for an hour as is I do not wish to go through even more time and energy ONLY FOR $1.17! So I told her do not worry about it Ill pay for my own dry time. I asked if she could give me a plastic bag to bag the clothes I decided not to dry and she said I would have to purchase 1. NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN!
I had a great experience here and Michael was super helpful, pleasant and hard at work keeping the place clean. I’ll be back next time I need a laundromat! BTW, he was super patient, professional and kind with a challenging situation.
This is my go too. In the a.m. because its usually a few people inside and I have access to any washer and dryer. Makes my washing go by fast. Its cleans and dries my clothes perfectly every visit. The location I use it 63rd and Woodward in Downers Grove, il
Clean and comfortable atmosphere.In and out in about an hour.Love the Childrens learning area.Staff are helpful, and I personally love the membership card.
One of the better laundromats I’ve been to. The staff is always kind and helpful!!! The biggest plus is that they are open 24/7.
When I picked up my comforter after drop off for cleaning it was still damp. Mike the manager apologized several times and promptly had my comforter dried with fabric softener sheets. This was my first encounter and I was very satisfied.
Michael was very attentive & helpful. I came in the laundromat to wash my loads the way i grew up. Michael taught me how much clothing each washer can hold & gave me expert advice on how to save and make a successful quick experience. During my drying period, i fell asleep & michael was sweet enough to add time to my dryer. We had meaningful conversations & i left with a smile. Theres nothing better then having compassionate energetic employees & a successful experience.
Very clean, easy to get a membership card for overnight washing. You get cash back for putting cash into your card vs using a debit card. The membership card also has rewards that give money to you for being a member!The prices are fair for the technology used in the store as well as the size of the washers.They have three 8 load washers, a few 6 load washers, and a smattering of 4, 3, 2 load washers.They have 2 dryer sizes 30# of clothes or 45# of clothes.To me the prices are fair to the capacity of the machine. The facility is extremely well kept, very clean, secured overnight when there is no attendant between 10p and 7 am. If you have a membership card you can get in over night and use the machines.The attendant on staff was very helpful answering my questions and helpful tips and tricks she had picked up! Will add pictures later.*
Very clean and very helpful staff . The operations manager Mike was extremely helpful as this was my first time and I came in with a roll of quarters.
I dont really like doing laundry, but when its wash the Blankets time, this place is Great for Huge clean machines.
Cant use coin change only cash or your debit/credit card. Credit/debt the minimum is 10 dollars. I go from 10pm-12am to avoid people/people who leave their things in washers or dryers without being there and get mad when someone takes their stuff out cause you shouldnt trust others anyways. Nice you need your card to get in after hours. Great that its 24/7. Remember 24/7 so I can careless about how clean or dirty the place is.
Need better notification on machines and dryers that are not working and if people were cleaner or respectful of the facility they would pick up their droppings pick it up if you dropped it and BATHROOM IS DIRTY, PLEASE KEEP IT CLEAN
Michael the operating manager was great . Ill b returning because oh him
We took our religious education group to wash blankets as a service project and it was great. The attendant, Cindy assisted us with the machines.The laundromat was clean and easy to use the card machine to run the machines. No quarters necessary.Will definitely recommend this place!
They actually make you buy a card so you can use your credit card here. They dont even take quarters. They actually made going to the laundromat worse. The lady who worked here when I was there was very pleasant. That was the only good part
Decided to try this place for the first time. It is very clean I will give them that. But no dryer sheets in the machine. Tried to break a 20$ in bill breaker and refused to take it. I even tried a different bill. Plus I find the machines kind of expensive. Don’t know if I would come back.
Great friendly people Mike was great. Nice clean places
Great customer service, clean and comfortable atmosphere. Micheal was very helpful. I will return.
For such a busy place it was amazingly clean. Having to buy their little credit card was a little different but actually came in very handy. Lots of larger load machines. Plenty of parking.
I really like doing my laundry there the card is very easy to use And I have gone there a few times and Mike was very helpful And I felt that he went above and beyond keeping the place clean
Helpful on site staff. Plenty of machines even on busy weekends. I like how you load money onto a plastic card. Its used instead of coins on laundry, soap product vending machines, snack & drink machines as well as entry to a clean restroom, & after hours to enter 24hr access. They also have Drop off Laundry services.
A 24 hour laundry accessible with a laundry card. They have discounts on two loaders laundry machines on Wednesdays. Washroom is accessible with laundry card only.Theres a person who can assist you from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Door didnt open says door cant start looked inside there was softener sheets all over the floors clothes sitting in washing machines it looked messy September 27th at 12:00 a.m. I tried to wash clothes but I left just giving you a feedback thank you
Clean and orderly. TONS of washer and dryers. The employees are kind and helpful.
I come in here once a week and this is the third time in a row the employee is not wearing a mask as well as some customers. I left a message with the owner a while ago and also again tonight
Place may look nice but is a scam. Regardless of what you select they automatically change to a low setting when you press start and barely clean the cloths. I highly recommend washing in your bathtub versus wasting your money and time here. Same result
My experience at this laundry is superb.... Michael was way too kind .... he literally helped me out with any difficulty and always asked if you okay with with your laundry
I got here at 11 and Im out by 2. I thought Id spend 70$, but I only had to spend$55. I was A LOT of clothes. Ive been coming here a while and the attendant, Cindy, just showed me I was doing it all wrong!! I was using single load machines when the double load is only $1.99 on Wednesday. I was using my debit card and missing out on free washes. She changed my laundromat life!!! LOL. Love this place a whole lot more!
I like the store very clean Michael so nice to me thanks
Clean your clothes real good
Convenient, this place has a lots of different sizes of laundry machines, the dryers are cheap compared to others, this place has a lots of promotions and dependent of how much money you put in your card, more extra money they giving to you, the promotion on wednesdays is also very good deal from almost or half of the regular price. Clean place and Highly recommended.
Very nice place to do laundry and great service from the manager MIKE!!!
Mike was awesome great service corparate needs to know
Its a pretty good laundromat with lots of machines, but people smoke outside and cigarette smoke blows inside and is nasty. This has happened multiple times, and if I remember correctly it has been multiple employees of the laundromat doing the smoking.
Awesome wash and fold service. Drop it off and pick up next day or earlier. Great pricing!
Good machines, cheap goods, the washing machines are expensive though... pay about 16 bucks to wash 3 loads....sheets included...dryers are more reasonable . Overall I spend about 22 bucks for 3 loads to wash and dry...good thing its 24 hours
I’ve been a long time customer at this laundromat since 2013 but as of late the cigarette smoking right outside the doorway has been a real issue. not only are customers smoking right outside the door but the employees do too! i’m looking for a new place to do my laundry as this has been a consistent issue for months now. can’t even bring it up to the attendant because they are doing it too. even tried coming on different days at different times to avoid it but it’s unavoidable at this point. i don’t need my clean clothes stinking like cigs the second they come out of the dryer and that’s what has been happening. it’s a joke. so disappointing.
Michael is an awesome attendant the best employee I ever met!
Clean machines, helpful staff and a great 24 hour laundromat.
Mike is the best!! Place very clean awesome!
Nice laundromat!
Convince and cost perfect open 24hrs with security card and cameras. I use mostly for blankets and microfiber towels for my car so I can get longer Iife from my washer dryer at home
This place is clean but it is HUGE RIP OFF. No cash accepted for anything. Everything has to done on a card they make you purchase with your debit or credit card, oh AND THE CARD COST YOU A DOLLAR! THEN, all washers are 2.49, 3.79, 4.79, 7.79, and 9.09 with an extra .25 for an extra wash our rinse. Dryers are .39 and .44 for 7 minutes. Talk PENNY PINCHING. I asked the clerk of they would purchase the remainder of my card back, NOPE! I KNOW WHERE IM NOT COMING BACK TO!Im going back to the Worlds Largest Laundromat in Berwyn. I can do twice the laundry for half the price, use cash, get free donuts and coffee and they clean their machines several times a day.
I can come here on a Saturday and have no problem finding a washer or dryer. I like the fact that its 24hrs.
The laundromat is clean and Great customer service from the Manager Micheal.
Clean! Helpful staff and the large capacity washers and dryers save money and time.
Clean friendly staff lots of washers and dryers
Owners are nice, place is clean. Staff shouldnt smoke outside the doors.
Very convenient and necessary, clean and easy to get things done
Always clean
Why make this so complicated? You use your card to buy a card, then you put money on that card.
Very clean. Nice machines.
It is very clean however, management needs to have a policy about children running around and screaming like they are on a playground. No one likes do do laundry but its even more miserable when people cant control their children.
Easy to use
Always clean and helpful staff
Only 24 laundromat in the area but you must have a membership to wash clothes 10pm-7am. Stupidest thing ever.
This place is absolutely disgusting!
Clean place. Friendly staff. Even when busy can still get a washer or dryer
Clean! Staff is super friendly!
Love the all night
Clean, the use of cards instead of coins, and open 24/7.
Phenomenal.
Too expensive and machines dont work well.
Nice.
Excellent
Not user friendly and expensive.
