- Keep two metres physical distance from other people at all times for the safety of everyone using the laundromat.
- Please spend the least amount of time as possible in the laundromat to allow people to safely use the machines.
- Do not enter any laundromat if you are feeling unwell or if you have a runny nose, cough, fever or sore throat.
- Nominate one person from your household to do the household laundry. Please do not bring other family members to reduce the risk of the virus spreading.
- Load your laundry into the machines and wait in your car until the cycle finishes. Please do not wait in the laundromat.
- We have boosted our cleaning schedule for your protection, but we recommend you bring gloves and sanitiser, disinfectant or cleaning products to wipe handles before use.
- We are currently trying to source suitable sanitisers and dispensers for installation in all sites.
Your closest laundromat is open
Through Covid-19 restrictions, your closest laundromat will remain open. Now more than ever we're reminded of just how important it is to maintain hygiene and cleanliness. It's also a good time to try our laundromat services, even if you have laundry facilities at home. Unlike most domestic dryers, our commercial dryers achieve drying temperatures that kill the virus on a normal dry cycle.
While in our laundromats, please remember:
Adhering to the above will help reduce the risk of Covid-19 spreading in Australia.
Further information on laundry procedures during Covid-19 are detailed below.
We are all in this together and appreciate your co-operation. Stay safe and keep well.
Further Washing & Drying information to protect against the spread of Covid-19 Virus.
- Wash items in accordance with the directions. If possible, launder items using the warmest appropriate water setting, and dry items, so they are completely dry, on the highest appropriate dryer temperature.
- Use the right amount of soap. Too much soap creates excess suds that enable dirt and grime to remain trapped inside the fabric. The right amount of soap will clean properly and then be rinsed from the clothing.
- Use the dryer – Viruses & bacteria hate heat. Using a dryer for your clothes or linen is one of the most hygienic ways to dry your items and can help prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria. Where possible, aim to use our highest dryer temperature (87°C) on a normal 25 minute cycle. This is a higher temperature than what can usually be achieved in a household dryer. Please make sure you check clothing labels first.
- Regularly clean and disinfect your clothes basket. Use a clean rubbish bag or other such bag/container for dry clean clothes to prevent cross contamination.
Please observe all personal hygiene and physical distancing according to according to Ministry of Health guidelines as below:
