wolis Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Sad to see the last of this shop. We have used it several times over the years. Miss the cat as well. Where will people who don't have washing machines now go?

Bic Basher Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I'd like to hope Wash & Dry can stay open. I tend to use it when Jo's working there and is still well used.

Does anyone have a tel no or email address for them. If anyone doesn’t know, the dry cleaners on LL next to Post Office, uses them to wash the duvets brought into them for cleaning and just jacks up the price. I used to think they had a washer and dryer in the back. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/323899-wash-and-dry/#findComment-1619130 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayJay7 Posted August 27, 2024 Share Posted August 27, 2024 I wonder if there's a way for some of us to pool together and purchase the laundrette. It's been over a year and the building is just there, closed. Also as the last Laundrette would be nice if we could revive it.
