A 24-hour self-service laundromat under the clock tower in Petone, Lower Hutt, in the Doreen Doolan Mall. Every machine is paid for with an EFTPOS card, so there are no keys or swipe cards to lose or forget to top up. You bring your own powder or liquid, and pet blankets and pet items are not to be washed in the machines.
Customers mention that the machines come in three sizes, and that there is a machine for every load. The instructions are easy to follow, and the place is fairly tidy. Parking is close by, with 30 minutes free outside Petone Library, and metered parking in the Peel Street car park and along Jackson Street.
Opinions are mixed. One customer says a washing machine was broken and that they paid twice to wash their clothes, and asked for it to be fixed. Others say prices have risen a lot, though the pricing is still acceptable to them.
The only other laundromat within a kilometre is Liquid Laundromat Petone, 0.4 km away.
It is at 191 Jackson Street, Petone.
