Liquid Laundromat Hornby is a self-service laundromat at 47 Carmen Road in Hornby, Christchurch. It is open seven days a week from 5am to 9.30pm. The website describes a cashless system: a reusable Liquid Card costs $1 as a one-off, and you top it up by EFTPOS or notes at the kiosk. For every $100 added to the card, the site says a $5 bonus is credited. The largest washer, a 28-kilogram "Super" size, is suited to king duvets, mink blankets and curtains. Single-serve detergent packs can be bought from a vending machine.
Shoppers praise the good prices, the good machines and how easy they are to use. One says the washing and drying are faster than at other laundrettes, though the price is slightly higher. Views are mixed on the set-up. One shopper says they had to buy a key from the petrol station next door to use the machines, and another wished for a toilet and a drinks vending machine. A reviewer advises clearing the lint before drying, so clothes dry properly.
