Sparkle-Brite Laundromat

Staff is nice, and polite. Location is great and even if you have to park there is a city lot where you can park free on Sundays or after 6pm behind their regular lot. Place has been cleaned significantly after the roof caved in, and their Wash&Dry&Fold service is amazing. They are much faster than Cresent Street and the staff was willing to let me pay at drop off or after pick-​up.
One of the better laundromats in the area honestly, I don’t think I am going to be doing my own laundry for a while.

So expensive! It is very clean and has more than enough seating — but the price just kills it. Its unfortunate because many people in this area do not have cars or laundry machines and I feel the price is just taking advantage of those who have no other option. Even though I am out of college and living on my own I have been forced to do laundry at friends and family members houses because of the expense. Assuming you have a medium load to do it will run you about 9 bucks. You can find cheaper facilities even in the heart of Boston. I would have rated it two stars but the staff is great — the first time i was there the machine I was using ate my money and broke and they happily covered the expense when they moved me to another machine.
They also can do your laundry for you if you are willing to have someone else touching your clothes (which personally Im not fan of, but I can see the appeal).

I may never do my own laundry again. I came across SparkleBrite after moving to my new place and lacking a washer/​dryer in house. I gave them a trash bag at 10 at night. The next day I picked up a package of neatly folded clothes. They separated by category. They matched my socks. They even put my dress shirts and khakis on hangers! And for $ 1.05 a pound?!
Awesome experience.

I have been to this laundromat several times. The facility is clean and generally quiet (you do get the occasional family that comes in… but it’s a laundromat). The machines are a little bit older, but I haven’t had a problem with their performance. The prices are respectable, the location is great, and the owners are really friendly.
*Parking is available in the rear — but the spots are small and few.
*Machines: there are three load sizes to choose from — the middle size wash costs 4.75 $ (not bad!). Dryers are one-​size and
*Don’t have time to stick around?: at 1.05 $ per pound, leave your laundry to for wash-​dry-​and-​fold and it will be ready within 24hours!
*Pretty good hours (6a-​10p most days — last load of laundry at 9).
*The place is generally quiet — a couple of TVs are always showing the news or some soap opera. But the location is so great, why not go for a walk down Moody while you wait? I generally drop off my laundry and then head up the block to the Gaff for a pint and some good conversation (not a bad way to spend my Monday afternoon, eh?).

I’ve been to Sparkle Brite a number of times but despite the relatively clean facility. It’s always crowded and sometimes chaotic. And when I usually do laundry, it’s during some of the quieter hours. But because this facility is right on Moody Street, you pretty much have EVERYONE coming in and out of this place.
The prices on machines are fair. The machines are a bit older though.
They DO have a small parking lot that they share with the nail salon next door. But there is also a municipal lot immediately next to that as well as on street parking.
My biggest gripe recently though about this place was that I luckily had done laundry already, but was on my way to the bar nearby, and noticed that it was already closed at 9:00 when it’s got a sign on the door clearly saying that they’re open til 11pm. Now if I had to do laundry I’d be pissed off to see that I can’t get in before last load because it was closed before they’re suppose to be.

I’ve been looking for a good 4 or 5 star laundromat in Waltham for a while and, try as I might, I still haven’t found it. I kind of thought it might be Sparkle-​Brite but the number of good things about it were diminished by a few that took some of the positives away. On the good side… there are lots of machines, ranging from the small/​medium size loads at $ 1.75 per wash to the larger $ 2 and $ 2.75 machines up to the super large ones for blankets and jackets. It’s possible to do heavy-​duty loads here. There seem to be enough dryers, but the machines aren’t the most efficient in the world… so patrons need to dry their clothes a bit longer than they might normally expect. Some of the dryers also once welcomed foodstuffs and gum too, as a quick examination will attest. That, though, is the price one pays for sharing laundry facilities with others.
This is a pretty busy laundromat but unfortunately the only parking is in a cramped lot behind the building. The place can get very busy on Saturdays and Sundays… I’d recommend taking one’s clothes there on a weekday afternoon or evening. Hours (6 a.m.-11 p.m.) are reasonable, though, and prices are competitive with other laundromats in the area.
