A cashless self-service laundromat at 14 Yaldhurst Road in Sockburn, Christchurch, that runs on a reusable Liquid Card. The card costs a one-off $1 from the dispenser inside the shop, and is topped up at the kiosk with EFTPOS or notes. The company says every $100 loaded on the card earns a $5 bonus. Powder is yours to bring, or you can buy single-serve packs from the vending machine.
Reviews here are mixed. One customer found the machines clean and well kept. Others found the washing and drying poor: machines did not spin enough water out, and a mink blanket was still wet after three dryers. Some customers find the card system costly, as it requires a minimum top-up of $10. The magnetic doors are another complaint.
Parking is a frequent problem. One customer says the car park is always busy and that it is hard to open the doors without hitting nearby cars. They want cars that sit too long to be moved on.
