About Liquid Laundromat Whakatane

A cashless self-service laundromat on King Street in Whakatāne. Payment is by a reusable Liquid Card, which costs $1 as at 2026 and is topped up at the kiosk by EFTPOS or notes. The website says every $100 added earns a $5 bonus. The shop has a 28kg washer for king duvets, mink blankets and curtains, and pet bedding must go in the dedicated pet washers. Cycles take 25 to 30 minutes, and single-serve detergent is sold in a vending machine, though customers are asked to bring their own powder. Reviews here are mostly critical. One visitor says the machines and dryers were dirty, with hair and powder left in the washers, chewing gum and paper in the dryer, and rubbish on the floor. Another says a load came out one or two sizes smaller after drying on a high setting. One reviewer, who has used Liquid laundromats across the country, says this was the worst so far. Value is mentioned several times, though it is not clear whether that is a positive or negative point.
