The Wash Place at 338 Te Ngae Road in Lynmore, Rotorua, is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and needs no booking. The business describes itself as Rotorua's only 24/7 car wash and laundromat, with two locations. The Te Ngae Road site is the laundromat and has a wider, taller oversized self-service bay for large vehicles, which the business says other washes cannot handle.
The laundromat has five washing machines, one of them extra large, with hot wash and heavy-duty Superwash options. Most washes take about 38 minutes, with 12 more for Superwash. Eight 16 kg dryers run in 10-minute blocks. Washing powder is sold from a dispenser inside, and a coin changer takes notes, coins and selected card payments. The site also sells scents, tyre cleaner, interior wipes and quick-dry towels.
The business says its Tap & Pass app lets customers pay, top up and earn $1 Pass Buck for every $10 spent.
