Brite Whites Laundromat

I been here and I wanted to use wifi while waiting my clothes. I asked the service for the password WiFi but she said she doesn’t know either … How come she works here and doesn’t know anything… SUCK!

Ok this place is horrible. 3 $ machines are the cheapest and the dryers don’t tell you how much one quarter is worth, time wise. And I put two quarters into the dryer and started it and it said 12mins. I put in another one and it still said 12. And I couldn’t even take my quarter out. I waited for the 12 mins two end and then put on three quarters and it was still 12. So 4 mins for a quarter. What a rip off

This place is very small and not clean enough for the prices and cleanliness of the machines/​establishment. Also –there is no A/​C (and/​or not working?) and no windows so it gets unbearably hot inside while trying to navigate the tight space that is this laundromat. It was cooler outside when I was there and it was almost 90 degrees out that day! The washers work well enough, though I wouldn’t say they were clean enough to spend $ 3+ per load. To top it all off the industrial dryers do not dry properly. I give this place two stars for it being «clean enough» and having a lot of washers and dryers for such a small space but I plan to take my business elsewhere in the future!

To confirm for everyone, the WiFi does NOT work. My iPhone says «unable to connect.»
This place has 4 triple-​load machines. I had to wash a quilt and a large blanket, and the other 2 machines were being used. I felt bad when a bunch of other people came in looking to use the machines– looks like they are very popular.
There are two change machines, an ATM, and two vending machines — one is snacks, one is drinks. No AC.
Not a bad place, but next time I will try somewhere else. The parking is a big plus, and the reason I came here. I had 5 loads to do and needed to be able to park close!

I have a washer and dryer in my house so I never go to laundry mats, but recently I wanted to wash a large quilt that wouldn’t fit into my machine. I read a bunch of reviews on Unilocal and tried to find a laundry mat that seemed decent near my house (I have to admit — I am completely sketched out and disgusted by laundry mats…#sorryimnotsorry). However, I was pleasantly surprised by Brite Whites.
There were a large variety of types of washing machines (triple loader, top loader, front loader, high efficiency) and plenty of machines. I used the triple loader which cost $ 4.25 for a load and then the dryers which were 25 cents for 6 minutes. It took about 36 minutes to dry my large quilt.
The place was clean enough, could probably have had cleaner floors, but its winter so there is slush and snow etc. The machines were nice and clean. Also, I noticed there was a TV but it wasn’t on, and there were security cameras. There was also a phone number posted on the wall to call in the event of emergency. Oh and — a private parking lot in the back (huge plus) as well as street parking out front.
Overall I would recommend Brite Whites to others and would go back if I needed to.

This is a great laundromat the woman that owns this place is so friendly !! I called during the nemo storm and she answered her personal phone (which is their business phone!) she informed me they are always open! They have 4 different washers plus industrial sized washers. They fit down comforters big blankets or a ton of clothes !! Small washers are $ 2.50 (they fit a lot of clothes) large washer is $ 4.25. The dryers work fantastic and dry clothes really fast it is 25 cents for 6 min. They are open till 10pm which is nice if you have late laundry to do ! There is an attendant that works during the morning/​afternoon. Bonus they are next-​to clothing shop, Chinese resteraunt, dry cleaners, and pastry shop. So plenty to do while you wait !!! Lastly they have snack and soda machine inside and are always playing great music !

There’s a free parking lot behind the laundromat, plentiful machines (but next time I will avoid the high-​efficiency ones — it kept one of my loads for about 10 minutes longer because — according to the sign — it was either unbalanced or too much detergent (only supposed to use 2 Tbs with these) or too dirty). Had top loaders, side loaders, lots of dryers, .75 dispenser with several types of detergent, fabric softener, even oxyclean. Closes at 10pm this weekday, security and video cameras came on following an announcement at 9:30. Lots of machines in a small-​ish space. A local place.

I just went to this laundromat today (Dec 14, 2011) because my washer broke. I was a little nervous after reading the other reviews but it was most convenient for me. To my surprise, there were tons of machines. Each washing machine bank is slightly different (capacity, efficiency, price) so walk around before deciding where to do your laundry. I ended up moving mine after I noticed high efficiency front loaders at $ 2.75 a load toward the back. They also have a whole wall of dryers at 6 minutes per quarter. Most of my laundry took 24 minutes (4 quarters) but I put some in for longer.
There is a free parking lot in the back and free on-​street parking but the only entrance is around the front. I was doing a juggling act to get three baskets of laundry and a baby into the laundromat and the woman who works there came outside and helped me get my baskets inside. She was very helpful. The place was very clean and she even asked me to wait a minute while she cleaned out the washing machines I was going to use because I had baby clothes! They didn’t look dirty or anything so I was impressed by the extra help. The woman spent her time doing laundry for the drop off service offered but also managed to keep the place clean and swoop up lost socks and stray garments and hand them to the customers before they noticed anything was missing. Apparently there is not always an attendant onsite though. She left while I was there and no one replaced her.
There were two folding tables which worked fine for me because most people were coming and going without folding. The place is a bit small and tight. The customers were all friendly and courteous about sharing space. It felt like a safe place. The place also had soda and snack vending machines, an ATM, and a change machine although I didn’t need to use any of them. Overall, I would recommend the place.

S’OK. After finally getting around to Extreme Laundry Day, and not being able to get to the laundromat I originally planned on going to, I ventured further up Mass Ave to Brite Whites.
First thing I noticed: The actual laundromat. I was having a problem finding the placed I planned on going to because they didn’t have a sign. Brite Whites is on the corner and has a can’t-miss-me sign. Yay for signs.
Inside was clean. I guess I am used to super industrial laundromats that have tremendous machines because their triple loaders didn’t really wow me. I ended up using 3 of the 4 they had while the last was already occupied. Then I had to use 4 more washers, eating up all my extra quarters.
2 of my 3 big loads came out SOAKED. Now, there is a huge sign there that says not to use more than ¼ cup soap because your laundry will have to go through an extra rinse cycle and not have enough time to spin out. Well, I know how to do laundry and I did not overload the machines or use too much soap, but still SOAKING, DRIPPING laundry. :(
Their dryers seem a little older than most of their washers and really took FOREVER to dry my things. I ended up leaving with my comforters still wet because I ran out of quarters.
They have some HE washers and it seemed like everything was in order the day I was there. A few people came in and out leaving me to believe that people felt safe leaving their laundry there. I never do that!
After school got out there were a bunch of punk kids hanging out right out font, because, in case you didn’t know, laundromats are totally hip. They were throwing snowballs at passing cars and just being generally obnoxious. Can’t blame that on Brite Whites though.
All in all, an OK experience. I probably will try another laundromat before coming back here, but it’s not totally off my list.

This laundromat has been fixed up recently and looks nice! Always bright and clean with all machines working. New washing machines were added recently. Fair prices and very nice neighborhood laundromat. Never a problem to find a parking spot, as they have parking in the front and a parking lot in the back. I do my own laundry here and sometimes use the Wash, Dry, Fold service to drop off my towels and sheets (I’m a massage therapist), and they do my laundry for me. Definately the place to go.

Brite Whites now offers free wi-​fi, there’s cable TV and lots of flashing new security cameras. Still, no way to write notes when machines are out of order.
