Tons of Bubbles

01/14/2010 in snapshots

Though we have our own washer and dryer, the machines are much too small to handle the sheets and comforters. So for gigantic loads, like the one I had last Sunday, I prefer to make a run to the laundromat. I usually visit the one just around the corner, but this time, I drove to Tons of Bubbles in Pacifica, where it’s clean and true blue. Is this place cute or what?

what smart business owners ~ they’re onto something, making a task that is not that enjoyable (at least for me!) into something a little more bareable by a cute atmosphere. why don’t more doctors and dentists do this? :)

have a happy friday!

Woah. I wish I had a cute laundromat like that to go to. I would even go there instead of my own garage, where I currently was my laundry.

Wow, I wish our laundromats looked like that. It would make the experience of washing my endless pairs of mismatched socks much more enjoyable :)

It is SO cute!!!! I love what they did to it! So often you go to laundromats and it’s boring and white and reminds me of a hospital or a psych ward!

laundry is one of my least favorite things to do. going to the laundromat – even worse. this place just might make me reconsider!

I just had to comment on this one. Looks like an artist was given creative license and went to town. I love it, and the photos are very well taken.
