Detergent is available on-site for an additional £1.00, or customers may bring their own. Pricing is straightforward and competitive, with Launderet recognised as significantly cheaper than many competitor launderettes.
What payment methods does Launderet accept?

What sizes of washing machines does Launderet have?
Launderet features industrial-sized washing machines and dryers with multiple capacity options. Standard machines have 7-8kg load capacity, whilst larger capacity washers and extra-large washers are available for bulkier items such as duvets and large loads.

What are Launderet's opening hours and when can I do my last wash?
Launderet operates seven days a week with extended hours, opening early and closing late. The last wash cycle must begin by 20:00 (8pm), as water is automatically cut off after 21:00 (9pm) and the door locks at that time. Customers can leave the premises after 21:00 but cannot re-enter to retrieve laundry after closing.

A change machine is available to help customers obtain the correct coins for their wash cycles.
Is Launderet suitable for washing large items like duvets and bedding?
Yes, Launderet specialises in large item washing and duvet cleaning thanks to its industrial-sized machines and large-capacity dryers.
