I go out of my way to use this laundromat. Not only do I prob have a bit of a shopping problem, but I also buy & resell vintage & designer clothing online, so needless to say I tend to show up with A LOT of laundry to do. Here is my list of PROs after visiting many other laundromats prior to finding 'SUDS RVA'
#1) The machines can fit up to 6 loads, so even when I came in with 5 trash bags stuffed to the top of clothes, I only needed about 1 & a half of these giant machines. (They have smaller ones down to 2 loads as well for a lower price)
#2) The place is spotless! (Ive often been doing laundry when someone stops by to wipe everything down & sweep the floors. She is also extremely friendly & will have a conversation with you on just about anything, always w/ a positive attitude.)
#3) they have 2 change machines so I don't have to run down the road every-time i need more quarters, AND an ATM in case I forget cash altogether.
#4) they have washing advice all over the walls which has actually been very helpful in not ruining my clothes or putting in too much detergent.
#5) its quiet and I can usually get a lot done while I wait, and when my clothes are ready they have carts & very long folding tables so Im able to fold my clothes into 10 different piles & then bag them up accordingly!
Also theres 24/7 video surveillance to make you feel safe
The only negative thing I can say is they have no hours posted, I feel I have been there as late as 11pm so maybe it is 24 hours? And also if you go on the wrong day at the wrong time the parking lot fills up very fast however I've only had the parking issue twice & Ive been coming here weekly since June.
Another side note i heard from someone that the famous Bagel Beagle's mom might be the owner or manager of this laundromat so I also feel good spending my quarters here knowing they're hopefully going towards helping find lost doggies! read more
