What are your business hours?
Our laundry service is open for drop-offs and collections from 7:30am to 6:30pm, Monday to Friday. Over weekends the service is available from 9:00am to 3:00pm on Saturdays, and 10:00am to 12:00pm on Sundays.Our self-service laundry is open 24 hours a day, every day of the week.
Can I use my own laundry detergent?
Yes you can. Our machines normally add the right amount of detergent automatically, but you may also use your own detergent. Alternatively, you can ask one of our friendly staff members for help.
Can I choose my own setting?
Absolutely. Unlike other laundromats, our Melbourne laundry allows you to choose between Express, Normal, and Super Wash. Express is perfect for anyone in a hurry to get their laundry done, with a total wash time of less than 20 minutes. Our Normal Wash setting is perfect for dealing with stains, and takes around 30 minutes to complete, while the Super Wash setting is ideal for heavily soiled items, with two wash cycles, a triple rinse, and a total duration of about 45 minutes.
Do you offer a laundry service?
We offer a full laundry service for both personal laundry and business laundry. Our laundry services include washing, drying, ironing and/or folding, including bedding, linen, and towels. Our regular service of wash, dry, and fold is priced per kilogram, with our wash and iron service priced per item. You can request only some items to be ironed, and will then be charged per kilogram for the entire load, with a separate ‘iron only’ price added on for the items you want ironed.
We are also dry cleaners, offering dry cleaning services for selected items.
We are located conveniently close Melbourne’s CBD, making it easy for you to drop of your laundry on your way to work, and pick it up on your way home the next day. If you would like to pick it up on the same day, we do offer an express, same day service for laundry, and next day for dry cleaning. You can view prices for our laundry and dry cleaning services here.
What about pick-up and delivery?
We do have a pick-up and delivery service covering a 5-kilometre radius around the Richmond area. This includes areas up to Balwyn and Camberwell to the east, Parkville, North Melbourne and the Melbourne CBD to the west, Clifton Hill to the north, and St Kilda and Malvern to the south. Our regular service has scheduled pick-up and delivery days for each area – including Saturdays – while our premium service offers same day pick-up and delivery. And yes, we’ll even collect from your office if it’s in the CBD.
Pick-ups and deliveries can be scheduled as a once off service, for every week, or fortnightly.
Our pick-up and delivery service is available for both commercial and non-commercial (personal/home) clients. If you live or work in Melbourne and your area is not listed above, contact us to see if we are able to arrange a pick-up and delivery service for you.
Must I be at home when you pick-up or deliver?
We understand that if you are using our pick-up and delivery service, there is a good chance you’re working and won’t be at home for either the pick-up or deliver, or both. That’s why when scheduling a pick-up and delivery, either telephonically via our website, you can include special instructions about where the laundry can be collected and dropped off.
Do you separate colours and delicate items?
We do, and it is part of our regular service. Our staff will also check for stains and pre-treat where necessary.
Do you wash large items too?
We are able to wash doonas up to king size – feather and synthetics – and blankets and wool underlays up to queen size.
The washing of bed sheets, doona covers, and towels is priced per kilogram, while doonas, blankets and similarly large items are charged per item.
When do I get my laundry back?
Unless you requested our express service, all cleaned laundry is returned (delivered) to you on the next delivery day for your area. With our express service, we attempt to collect and return laundry on the same day.
If you drop off your laundry yourself, you can collect it the next day, unless you requested the express service.
Will you do my ironing for me?
Our services include an ‘Ironing Only’ option, so if you’re managing to do your own laundry but not ironing, bring it in and we’ll take care of it for you. Prices for ironing only are per item/garment.
Do you offer dry cleaning?
We’re a full-service laundry, which means we are also dry cleaners. As with your other laundry, you can arrange for us to pick-up and deliver your dry cleaning for you, within a 5-kilometre radius around the Richmond area. This includes areas up to Balwyn and Camberwell to the east, Parkville, North Melbourne and the Melbourne CBD to the west, Clifton Hill to the north, and St Kilda and Malvern to the south.
You can view prices for our dry cleaning and laundry services here.
When do I get my dry cleaning back?
Turnaround time for standard dry cleaning is 48-hours, except for items brought in on Fridays, which can be collected the following Monday. We also have an express dry cleaning service, which allows for next day collection or delivery.
Who uses your laundry service?
Our laundry service and self-service laundromat are used by both businesses and individuals who – for whatever reason – can’t or won’t do their own laundry. We don’t judge, or ask for reasons. Our clients could include:
- Busy professionals who simply don’t have time. We’re a full-service laundromat, conveniently close to the Melbourne CBD, so are able to take care of both regular laundry and dry cleaning, making life a lot easier for professionals.
- Large families where both parents work. Any parent working during the day would much rather spend quality time with their family, not washing, drying, and ironing laundry.
- Students, tourists, and young adults who don’t have access to, or can’t afford, their own washing machine. They will more frequently use our Richmond based 24 hour self-service laundrette.
- Small-to-medium businesses such as caterers, restaurants, Airbnb hosts, regular bed and breakfasts, day spas, hairdressers, beauticians, massage professionals, medical practices, physiotherapists, and general offices. Having someone else take care of the laundry leaves these businesses with more time to focus on other aspects of their business.
