Scrubbin Bubbles is Michigan's finest Laundry, Tanning & Computer Cafe. Well, at one point it was. In 2023 there's no computers and the counters where they once sat have been removed with the much more common laundromat staple of vending machines in their place. The tanning booth is still there but I doubt it works. It looks sketchy af & I wasn't going to ask the night attendant about it since they aren't too friendly. The automatic sliding door is pretty posh. Only laundry I've been to in recent years I can think of with that is Mr. Stadium but that's a huge laundromat by a huge college while Scrubbin Bubbles has cramped aisles in a strip mall locale and gives off serious flea market vibes. There's 3.25 top loaders & 3.50 & 3.75 front loaders, all comically close in size & price. From there the washers jump up to 6.50 which is inconvenient as sometimes I have loads that are a bit big for the 3.75 machines but I'm not trying to pay 6.50 to throw my clothes in a machine with space to spare. I ended up cramming a 3.75 unit pretty damn full, looking over my shoulder to make sure the night attendant wasn't looking since they aren't the friendliest around here. On my previous trip the employee on duty was laying into someone for overloading a machine. Some $5 washers would be killer here. Won't find those but SB has some $10 big bois. 1 of the washers I almost used had a strong mildew odor so you probably wanna sniff before entrusting your clothes to the machines here. Dryers are free, though, an amazing bargain! They're automatically set for 20 minutes. The folding tables are pretty bizarre. They look like oversized study cartels like you'd find in a library. Maybe tables for folding clothes that look like that are common in other places. Some of the dryers are aways away from them and if you're there late like me - they close at 2 just like the bar but the front door says last loads should be in at midnight- the narrow aisles are likely to be clogged with carts & it's tough to navigate. It seems like they have so many carts at 12 am but I'm sure there's not even enough at 12 pm. No music playing in here beyond the occasional old timey jingle from the arcade claw machine game. More arcade games are in the back by the medieval tanning chamber, a pinball machine, a driving game, a couple tabletop games & an old school Atari console with a bunch of games! The Atari only costs a quarter a game, too! I tried my hand at Tetris this time & once I finally got in a jam I didn't even try to work my way out of it as I knew my clothes were done. SB has three TVs, all tuned to different things. Tonight they had on a black & white western movie in the back, some true crime thing in the middle & a cop show in the front. Volume is just loud enough to hear well, at least with only a few machines running. At any rate they aren't blaring all over each other. Seating is scarce and scattered, apart from the row of seats in the back by the TV there, the arcade games and the free lending library. Free lending library? Why'd it take me so long to mention that? Probably cause it's a bunch of fundamentalist Christian stuff, with multiple books denying evolution. Other conspiracy stuff is in there, too. But hey, nobody pushed it on me, and there's signs saying it's free to just take so you could probably haul it all off & throw it in a dumpster somewhere. Actually not, since the attendants aren't too friendly and they'd whistle you for an etiquette violation, arguing there are implied limits despite the signs. There's SB laundry bags in a variety of colors hung up above the dryers and other supplies behind the counter by the front door but that means dealing with the attendants. The one I think I've read about in other reviews here reminds me of John Witherspoon, your classic grouchy old black dude. Takes his job very seriously and is very particular. The other is more light skinned and almost looks Inuit or something. A little tough to tell cause he's still all masked up in 2023 with a winter hat on and a hoodie beneath to boot! He's more quiet but he stares like crazy or at least he was staring at me. So weird to be stared at by someone all masked up like that. I was the last one out of here tonight around maybe 12:45, and fortunately it was only a few seconds after the next to last customers cause you should have seen The Night Guardian of the Laundromat standing there, mop in bucket, ready to swab up his Dominion. I think he's harmless but he's just a little off. This whole establishment is a little off, or even a lot off. It could easily be a 1or 2 star affair for many but the novelty of it amuses me. Quarter Atari & free dryers go a long way with me, even if I'll pass on the free salvation. There's also the fact that I'm not often out this way. If I was a frequent customer here SB could easily dip to a three or maybe something would happen where I'd be like I'm never going there again. read more

Free dryers! Clean. Staff is always present. Prices are reasonable. Plenty of parking

I was going to go to the laundry spot or spotless laundry across the street but it was packed so I came here instead as they have free dry here too. Very clean. Lot's of washers. Decent prices from $3.00 for the smallest up to $9.25 for the really big washer. I used the $8.25 washer for my down comforter, one sheet, a bath robe and 7 items of clothes. The $5.25 washer for 3 sets of queen sheets, a towel and 3 rugs (not rubber backed). The $3.50 wash for for about 3 loads of clothes and the $3.00 for one load. The washers did an amazing rinse. My laundry came out the wash and only needed the 20 minutes in the dryer. I will be coming back. read more

SUCKED. Bottom Line. Washers were stinky, coins kept getting stuck, HORRIBLE. Save your $ and get a washboard rather than coming here!! My laundry was dirtier when I left THERE then when I got there!! read more

Staff here is fairly condescending, despite the fact that most appear homeless. They will study you as you load your washer, critiquing how much detergent you're using, and how big your load is. Machines, while being HE, are fairly worn. You should check the interior before putting your clothing inside. Who knows what the user before you had in there. Drying is free, but they take forever. Even if you don't usually tumble on high, you'll want to here. Go across the street. Much better experience! read more

Scrubbin Bubbles - Low capacity washers. - Laundry Services Near Me - Westland, Michigan

I love this place. Newer washers and dryer at great price. Staff are friendly and helpful. Free WiFi and very clean. Drying is FREE!!!

Much better than the place across the street. Employees are professional and courteous. Place is always clean, every half an hour or so you always see someone moping. Machines do a good job of cleaning and they're priced well. And of course who doesn't love to save money with free use of dryers. read more

The prices are reasonable, especially when you consider its free to dry when you was. I'm only in town for 3 weeks for work, but this place resolved my my dirty clothes problem just fine. Clean and chill environment. I did stop into other places, but their prices were crazy or not very clean. I my opinion, 5 stars all the way. read more

Do yourself a favor and go to the Laundry Stop across the street. Half the machines are broken here and the layout is very cramped. They advertise free dryers, but you have to ask the scary attendant to turn the dryer on for you. The equipment is also nicer and cheaper at the place across street. read more

Great size washers for a great price but the dryers aren't that great. I must say the establishment was very clean. The bathroom was spotless and didn't smell. The atmosphere was nice and calm no problems and I didn't feel unsafe. Got very busy towards the end and tight. A cart was hard to find at the end. So if you want to get done with less of a crowd go early in the day. read more

Like this place is a little small but it's clean & attendant is nice price is good & there's free drying

Can't say anything bad despite what some of these others have said. Attendant seemed helpful. Wash machines worked well enough. Might be a little less spacious than other laundromat side used but after all it is a laundromat. It does close early, 2:00PM. I wasn't able to pick up a load the same day I left it off for them to do but I have enough clothes to last more than a day. read more

I used to go to scrubbing bubbles all the time and one day it was very crowded and I noticed a girl at the very end where I only had one dryer down at the end I had for dryers up front I thought it was odd that she put her bag in the dryer to get the clothes out and one pair of pants got stuck and she pulled on it and and I recognize my waistband and I went to take off after her but I was on a walker because I'm disabled and there were so many people around I couldn't get to her she went down the aisle next to mine and she took off out the door so I asked them if they had a camera and the guy said yes he would notify the owner well that took 3 weeks and by then it was rolling over to start the tape all over again and the guy said what he didn't think he would know her I said you could have told them where she was I showed you that the dryer and I could have recognized her so he doesn't care the owner doesn't care what happens in his place I know I'll never go back there good buy scrubbing bubbles on Wayne road read more

Great laundry experience, machines are showing a little wear, but they work good. Love the wi-fi and computers.

There is a black man who works nights. He is very rude and not friendly at all. I had a washing machine break on me that I paid 8.25 for and he put my clothes in a smaller washer, he paid for it but didn't give me my extra money back. It was almost a three dollar difference. I will just go across the Street to laundry stop from now on. read more

Great place. Big washers, free drying, big dryers and did I say big washers. I have 4 kids and love the big size washers they save me a lot of money. Nice and clean, the workers are friendly and helpful. I read one review on here and it was not nice, personally I think they were talking of someplace else. Two thumbs up. read more
