Frequently Asked Questions
What are the washing machine prices, and why does the signage show different amounts?
Ayrshire Self-Service Launderette offers three washing machine sizes: the small machine costs £4 for a 25-minute cycle, the medium machine (which fits smaller duvets) costs £5, and the large machine (which fits king-size duvets) costs £6. Customers have reported confusion between signage on machines and actual pricing; the launderette recommends checking the payment terminal for accurate, up-to-date pricing before starting a wash to avoid surprises.
What payment methods does the launderette accept, and do I need to bring coins?
Ayrshire Self-Service Launderette accepts cash (20p, 50p, and £1 coins), card payments via a Tangerpay mobile phone QR code scanner, and contactless mobile payments. There is no change machine available, so customers are advised to bring exact change if paying by coin or to use the card payment system, which eliminates the need for coins altogether.
Can I wash a king-size duvet at this launderette?
Yes, Ayrshire Self-Service Launderette has a large industrial-sized washing machine specifically designed to fit king-size duvets; this machine costs £6 for a 25-minute wash cycle.

Do I need to bring my own detergent?
Yes, customers must bring their own detergent to Ayrshire Self-Service Launderette, as the facility does not sell washing products on-site.
