Soapy's Dog Wash is a dog groomer in Apopka, FL. Established in 2008, the business operates as a locally owned, women-led facility offering self-wash stations, full-service grooming, bathing, daycare, and overnight stays. The shop features an open-air concept where owners can observe dogs being bathed or playing in a dedicated playroom.

The business is licensed, insured, and maintains a kennel license. It holds a rating of 4.40.

The facility was founded on the idea that dogs should enjoy being bathed and pampered, starting as a small laundromat for dogs before expanding to include drop-off services, daycare, and boarding. The open-air design aims to provide a stress-free environment, with tubs designed for ease and convenience, particularly for larger dogs. Self-wash stations allow owners to wash their pets in approximately 20 minutes, often with guidance from staff to help owners learn professional bathing techniques. For drop-off services, grooming typically takes two to three hours, though this can vary during busy periods or for complex cases such as severely matted fur or anxious pets. Daycare dogs receive five to six outdoor breaks daily in a secure area. The facility is not staffed overnight but uses continuous surveillance cameras, with staff residing nearby for quick attendance. The business sells collar leashes and treats, and is recognized as Apopka's number one pet groomer for 13 consecutive years.
