About The Suds Factory
Set on 3546 S Halsted St in Bridgeport, The Suds Factory handles the kind of weekly laundry run that a small apartment washer cannot keep up with.
Because machines are self-service, a big mixed wash can be split across several washers at once and finished in a single trip.
Bulky bedding, pet blankets and work uniforms all wash better in the oversized machines than in a home unit.
Hours, pricing, and payment options change from time to time. Call ahead before a first visit to confirm current hours, whether card or mobile payment is accepted, and whether an attendant is on duty when you plan to arrive.
