Frequently asked questions

What coins do I need for a coin-operated launderette?

Bring a mix of 50p and £1 coins — these are accepted at almost all coin-op launderettes in the UK. Some dryers operate on 20p increments (typically 2–4 minutes per 20p). A few machines also accept £2 coins. Check whether your launderette has a change machine before you go — our listings flag this where known.

Do coin-operated launderettes also accept card payments?

Many do. Calling a launderette 'coin-operated' describes the machine type, not the only payment method — a growing number of UK launderettes accept contactless card payments alongside coins. Filter by 'card payment' in our directory to find launderettes that accept both.

How much does a coin-operated launderette cost?

Typically £3–8 for a standard wash, depending on machine size and location. London prices tend to be higher. Dryers are usually charged separately — around 20p per 2–4 minutes of drying time. Check our listings for specific pricing where owners have provided it.

Do I need to bring my own detergent?

Not necessarily — most launderettes sell washing powder on-site, either from a vending machine or from staff. It costs slightly more than buying your own, so if you have a preferred product or want to save money, bring a small amount. Fabric conditioner is less commonly sold, so bring your own if you use it.

Do coin-operated launderettes have change machines?

Many do, but not all — especially unmanned ones that operate outside staffed hours. Our listings note where change machines are available. If your launderette doesn't have one, check whether a nearby shop can help before you go.

Do I have to stay while my clothes are washing?

No — most launderettes are fine with you leaving while a cycle runs. A standard wash takes around 30–40 minutes, so many people run errands and come back. Just return before the cycle finishes — leaving your washing sitting in a completed machine when others are waiting is bad etiquette, and in unmanned launderettes there's no guarantee it'll stay put.
