About this launderette

Harborne Laundrette is a self-service launderette open 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm, offering a convenient solution for washing and drying clothes in the local area. The facility features multiple machine sizes including 7kg, 10kg, and 18kg washers, along with ample tumble dryers, and benefits from accessible on-site parking. While customers appreciate the extended opening hours, clean environment, and helpful staff assistance available during morning hours (9am-1pm), the launderette operates on a cash-only basis requiring customers to bring their own coins and detergent. Pricing is noted as relatively expensive by some customers, particularly for drying services, and the lack of clear operating instructions and contactless payment options have been common points of feedback. Despite these limitations, the launderette serves as a practical, hygienic self-service facility for those in the Harborne area needing regular laundry services.

To allow adequate time for drying before the 9pm closing time, the final recommended wash start time is around 8:30pm.

Bring cash in the correct denominations (20p, 50p, £1, or £2 coins) and ensure you have sufficient change obtained beforehand, as no change machine is available. Bring your own laundry detergent.
