How much does the service wash cost, and when is it available?

Laundromat Speed Queen's service wash (wash, dry, and fold) is priced between £9 and £15 per white bag used, with pricing based on the number of bags rather than the weight of laundry. Service wash is available Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 2:30 pm only and is not available on weekends. Customers should note that pricing may vary depending on load volume, which some customers have found inconsistent.
