Bubbles Laundrette is a laundromat at 39 Parkers Rd in Annesbrook, Nelson, at the top of the South Island. It has a 4.6 rating from 79 Google reviews.
A good laundromat is clean, well lit and well maintained, with machines that work, clear instructions and fair prices. Expect washers and dryers in several sizes, so a large machine suits duvets and blankets, while a smaller one is better for a regular load. Regulars know that going on a weekday morning avoids the weekend rush, that checking care labels and sorting colours prevents damage, that dryers vary in heat so a cooler setting protects delicate fabrics and that bringing your own powder, a laundry bag and change or a card, depending on how the machines are paid for, saves trouble. Do not overfill machines, and check pockets before loading. Laundrettes are handy for travellers, campers and people who live in flats without a machine, and Nelson's many visitors make them useful in summer. Ask whether a drop-off or wash-and-fold service is available.
For anyone in Nelson and Annesbrook, Bubbles Laundrette on Parkers Road is a local place to wash and dry clothes.
