Also, ensure you take a supply of £1, 50p coins with you. Laundrettes usually have washing power for sale but it’s a good idea to buy your own some places don’t have staff there all the time and washing powder/liquid is cheaper from a supermarket. Allow around £3–£4 extra to dry a standard load. The cost of drying your clothes in a tumble dryer varies considerably. Standard-sized washes take around 35 minutes. Expect to pay around from £5–£7 for a standard-sized machine. Self-service laundrettesĭo your own washing and drying using a self-service coin-operated washing machine and tumble dryer. *In British English it’s either launderette or laundrette.
They’re ideal if your hotel or or airBNB doesn’t have laundry facilities, if you don’t want to pay their service wash fees or if you’d prefer to do your own laundry. You’ll receive a notification when it’s ready to be delivered (it can be delivered immediately or you can choose a time that’s more convenient), and the app allows you to estimate how much your order will cost (laundry per pound is $1.15 in Brooklyn and $1.25 in Manhattan).There aren’t many laundrettes* (or laundromats) right in the centre of London, but you won’t have to travel too far to find one. But you can request immediate pickup (like an Uber) or schedule a pick-up time between 6am and midnight, seven days a week. Here’s another convenient and cheap way to do your dry cleaning and laundry-but this app works in Brooklyn! Much like Cleanly, you can choose a regular wash-and-fold or choose specific items for dry cleaning. You can only request the service in Manhattan-but the company plans to expand in the near future. The team is at your service seven days a week from 7am–10pm and every new customer receives a personalized laundry bag. Within 24-hours (36-hours for dry cleaning) your clothes will be returned and smell just like your mamma did it. The nice thing about Cleanly is that you can set up your pick-up time. The prices aren’t bad-a regular load of laundry costs $1.50 per pound and dry-clean-only items (blouses are $7, sweaters cost $8, suit jackets are $10 and coats are $20 each) are marked within reason. The Cleanly app offers three options: Wash & Fold, Wash & Press or Dry Clean. But once you shrink it down to the size of your smartphone, it’s not so bad, right? The sheer size of your hamper, stuffed to the brim with dirty garb, can be pretty intimidating. Otherwise, your laundry would be waiting-curbside-in front of your apartment door at 2am. Anyone can request an invitation, but you’re more likely to join the party if you live in Manhattan and have a 24-hour doorman. The cost of a small ($10), medium ($20) or large load ($30) is cheaper than its competitors, but the only downside is the service is invite-only. They also provide hand-launder when needed, stain removal, your very own luxe garment bag and best of all? The prices won’t murder your bank account. The team behind the year-old app will pick up your unwashed duds at 10pm and have you clothes delivered, cleaned and folded by 6am the next day. This on-demand mobile app offers a premium laundry service in NYC while you sleep. It’s a dirty, time-consuming job, but luckily, these quick-and affordable-NYC laundry apps are up for the challenge.
Of all the New York annoyances, taking a weekly (okay, monthly) trip to the Laundromat is one of the most irksome experiences.
