So, this particular laundry mat has a lot of work that needs to be done. It's not in a bad location. But the fact that so many of the washers were out of order, didn't work, same with the dryers. There wasn't a Laundry attendant on site either. So if worst case, I was using a machine and it took my money or something like that what would I do? Who would I go to if I am having an issue with any of the machines? Or what if worst case there's some kind of malfunction where it requires the attention of an employee working there? And it was pretty messy. Not well maintained at all. It looked like no one had cleaned it in a bit. read more

Services was terrible, I only wanted to make laundry and change my coins but the lady manager or owner didn't let me cause she taught I wasn't a costumer but she said that it's closed and lame excuses. Terrible read more

Perfect location with excellent service! The owner was in today when I visited for the 1st time ever and I was very pleased with the overall experience. Very affordable as well (about $5 total for wash/dry on a large load). I will definitely be coming back soon! :) Thanks Damon, keep up the great work read more

So.....Where is the Owner at???.... Do they even give 10% care to this facility at all???....Like the place doesn't open on time....Sat outside for one hour til 7am and it did NOT open.....Had to go to a different Laundromat..... Been coming here for 10 years the last 5yrs this place has gone to PooP... read more

Been coming to this place for 10 years and it has been going downhill year after year. There are a lot of broken machines, the bathroom is never open, the drink and snack machines are also broken with products that have beet marinating in there for years, the bench in the back had been broken for probably 5 years, and there were cockroaches crawling on the floor. Good location, horrible facility. read more

7/15/23 As stated by other reviewers, there really are a lot of washers and dryers that are out of order. It kind of creates a negative atmosphere. My issue is the lack of AC on a 90 degree Santee summer day, and ONE fan operating is not cutting it. The second one is probably "out of order" as well. 3 stars is generous! read more

I brought a comforter to be cleaned and dried. When I took the comforter out of the dryer there were black stains all over it. It's ruined!

Ok I have always been willing to pay more to wash and carry my clothes out instead of using the baskets since theirs are intentionally too tall to take out. But I like the fact that they are usually not terribly busy. I'd prefer to wash here over the laundromat on Navajo by taco bell strictly because they aren't as busy. I don't want to fight for a table or a dryer etc. . HOWEVER when the inside of your business smells like manure on fire.... you should temporarily close up shop and fix the problem. I got all my clothes into washers and walked toward the bathroom (that has an out of order sign on it) and it's all I could do not to vomit. I wish I'd known it would be this bad before loading all my clothes. I'd have left long ago. No way I can fold clothes here. It smells terrible. Gotta find a new laundromat. read more

I will never go back to this laundromat again! First of all, I had to step over a homeless guy sleeping on the floor to get to a washing machine. I feel sorry for the man, but it was very uncomfortable for me since I was the only other person in the room. Second, the washing machines do not get your clothes clean. And half of the machines are not working. I don't think anybody maintains these machines they just take the money out! Third, now they make you use an app to pay for the big washing machines and all the dryers. Which means you have to send your credit card information to some strange app that I've never heard of. I refuse to do that. They have coin operated machines in there, but you can't use the coin to operate them. I think it's because they're too lazy to go to the bank and get quarters but I don't know. All I know is I will never go back there again because it's a waste of time and money! read more

Filthy! Not only is this establishment dirty on the inside and outside, it will cost you $3.00 to wash in a smelly washer machine. I won't bother coming back here again. read more

I own a washer and dryer but they can't handle the big items so I've been taking them to Same Old Suds. I've always dreaded laundry mats but I love this one! It is SUPER clean, they play great rock music and I love that they decorate for holidays. My last visit happened to be the morning of July 4th and it was so nice to see the patriotic decor! Great place to do an unpleasant chore! read more

Zero stars if I could. First of all, I showed up at 8:00pm, the last load is at 8:30. I had plenty of time. The lady that was working said "ummm are you here to do laundry?!" And I'm thinking- yeah- it's a laundromat. And she said "Ugh, fine! I was hoping to leave early but I guess I'll stick around for YOU" and then said "I can't mop because you're standing here!" Rude, disrespectful, and not honorable of the time that they close. They want to close early and do not want your business. I took my stuff and left. They stare at you and are rude as hell. Take your business elsewhere! I will NOT be back! read more

Terrible terrible. All broken equipment. Spills on floors and machines that take your money. Dryers that leave clothes wet. I have tried and tried due to location to home but no way. Do yourself a favor go to one by food for less. Not far and 2000% better. Centry laundry is the place. DO NOT GO TO SAME OL SUDS!!!!! read more

Even though I own a washer and dryer, I needed a large washer to wash my King size comforter. The attendant was there cleaning and was very helpful. My comforter came out very nice and the extra large dryer fluffed and dried it. The premises are kept very clean. I am so happy I have a place to clean my comforter in the future. read more

There's hardly ever anyone working there , and the change machines are iffy on when they work so bring the right amount of quarters or you'll be SOL or running back and forth to dollar tree for change (who make you buy something first). (P.S. $20 bill= $20 in quarters, unlike other places) then half the machines are always out of service, and the ones that do work are more expensive than other places- $3 for the smallest 1 load washer, .50/10 Min dry time and after 25 min my 1 load is still half wet but after running all around I have to just leave with damp clothes. 10/10 don't recommend. read more

This place has so many bugs! There was one in the washer, one running around, and another one dead under the vending machine! I don't recommend using this location until they can get the bug problem under control. Also, the floors, countertops, and washers were dirty. read more

came to wash this morning put my load in at #41 ,took my $8 added both laundry detergent and softwner, machine briefly started and then in a minute start to ask for another $8 and suddenly stopped. Called the number they give for complaints and left a msg. then called back. talked to manager who seem rude and no Custer service. I had to call my sister to bring more soap as I attempted to start at another machine not knowing if the attendant he called was going to able to come in and help me. she showed up after my sister which took longer than expected as I needed to wash and go as soon as possible. she gave me $9 in quarters and when asked to be reimbursed for the detergent and softner I PERSONALLY YOU USE, as we use sentative soap, they both said no, and gave picky the cheap box soap they carry here and said that's all they can do. !! well last time i come here last time, I was here with my sister and kids and the entire place smelled horrible, we gathered our ribs and head to another location, and after this bad service I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL read more

I didn't care for this place the washers were very small and it left my clothes with a weird smell to them and they didn't seem that clean

This place is regularly cleaned. The guys here are pleasant and professional. Machine maintenance occurs in a timely manner. Today specifically, both change machines were out of service, so one of the customers called their contact number. Bruce showed up and fixed the issue. He handled the inconvenience in a professional manner. One of the other customers and I agree: their actions result in repeat customers. read more

Great place to laundry affordable and efficient manager is always great with helping with issues you may have and they have giant washers and dryers for your blankets read more

This is my go-to place when I need all my laundry done in one hour. The place is clean and has a relaxing ambiance.....as long as there aren't a lot of kids around. The facility is kept nice and there are a lot of helpful notes posted around. I've overheard the owner talk about the process of soap dispersement in one of the front load washers. It was a little over my head, but can tell he knows his laundry. If I would recommend something, it would be to have more seating. read more

Wow, I was impressed by the look of this place! Very clean, very nice, lots of machines and plenty of parking since it's at a little plaza. They've also got a bathroom! I believe the wash was about 28, and drying was about 30. The only downside is that each is $2, which is kinda high. read more

I love this laundromat. I met the owner Mark today and he's made some changes that a great like paying with an iPhone app. This saves me time from getting cash from nearby places. Aside from that, the place is clean and the machines are always working. Been coming here for the last two years and am very happy. read more

has lots of machines that actually work and is clean, convenient and helpful. The music is pleasant.

Same old suds laundromat is clean and the staff is friendly. The machines are reliable and occasionally management hosts free dryer days.

Great customer service and nice clean machines. Owner was friendly and there are electrical outlets to charge your phone while you wait

Need to get 600lbs of laundry done in 2 hours..... Here you go. They have lots of options for size of washer and dryer. Price isn't bad when you consider your time too. The place is much cleaner than most laundry places and there is plenty to go do while you wait. We will continue to come back! read more

This will be the last time I ever stop here for laundry. Half the machines are oit of order and once you put coins in to start a load the odds of it running are horrible. Change machine is a joke. Sorry this was my go to place, no more until you guys get it together read more

This place is horrible!!! No one works there! I went to do laundry and their machine took all my money and didn't even start. No one was there to help me so I called the number and no one answered. They have a form for you to fill out and they will mail you a refund, but it's been almost a month and I haven't received any refund!!! I want my money back!! read more

I had to get my comforters washed and our washer & dryer at my place is not large enough for them. So I brought ALL the laundry I had with me, figured I'd just do ALL my laundry while I'm there! But after walking through the place and looking at the machines and the prices, I changed my mind! The regular size machines (same ones our complex has) was $2.75 a load!!! (Ours is $1.25-$1.75 depending on load size). So instead of doing ALL my laundry there, I ONLY washed the comforters and took the rest back home to do. Their large machines are $8.00 a load!! ‍ WOW! I won't be doing that again! read more

This laundry mat is definitely worth the drive! Always clean whenever me and the family come and very friendly helping staff aka Bruce. Thanks brotha, this is my go to spot for laundry day and I highly recommend if you're around the area. read more

Place is very clean. Plenty of washers/dryers to use. Two coin machines and a detergent dispenser. Two flat screen TVs and plenty of space to fold or sit while you wait. Only gripe is the cost. The big washer machines cost $7.50. I'm not sure the going rate at other places but thought it was too high. read more

Really disappointed. I come here weekly, I understand we're in a pandemic, but they raised their prices a lot! $0.50 to dry for 5 minutes! Then $0.25 for each additional 5 mins. I spent almost $30 on maybe 4 loads of laundry. I understand small businesses are hurting, but that's steep. Almost $4 to dry a load. $3.25 for a single top load wash. Makes me sad. I always came here because it's a small business. I live nearby. I feel safe. Even when it's 100° out & no air conditioning inside, the bathroom smells like sewage and often doesn't work, the machines flood. I still came here. I was in shock at my visit Friday with the price increase. I understand they can't do the 30 mins for $0.50 forever. But at least go back to like 8 mins. Such a bummer... I may have to start using the bigger chain laundromat from now on. I wish SOS all the best and will check back from time to time in hopes they can change back to reasonable prices. read more

I moved from Santee to El Cajon last year, and I continue to use this laundromat for various reasons. It's always clean, it's affordable, and the attendant who cleans at night is always so sweet, friendly, and helpful. You are always greeted with a smile. Thank you for your excellent service and care! read more

I LUV them more today than yesterday. I left a load in small washer. Called next day and they not only kept it but dried it for free.WOW they are the Best. read more

This has been my go to laundromat for five years. Always clean and always a positive experience. So why only two stars? Well, the last three weeks I've been here the restroom has been locked. For me it isn't a big deal, but I've seen several older patrons become very frustrated. On average I spend about two hours at this facility. I'm sure others average the same. Keeping the restroom locked seems ridiculous. The first time I wrote it off as "oops, someone didn't make sure it was unlocked", but three weeks in a row is an obvious choice they are making. I'm not really sure why this decision was made; perhaps too many homeless using it; but in light of the recent Hep A breakout, it seems irresponsible at the very least. Like I said, not an issue for me per se, but overall poor business practice. What's going on management? You have always been better than this. read more
