Is there still a launderette locally which has a large capacity machine?

I need to wash a very large sofa cover.

There's one on Gibbon Rd, Nunhead.  I think it's part of the launderette group that included the now closed-down one on LL/Pellatt. Looks like same staff.

You could also consider a dry shampoo, like they use for car upholstery, or if the material is colour fast borrow a steam cleaner? Most have an upholstery attachment.

Thanks, it's not very dirty, it just needs freshening up really. It's been on the sofa for more than  thirty years , as I bought the sofa  shortly after I moved here 🤣

But the sofa has large seat cushions (whose covers wash easily) and it's had throws over it for much of its life.

It's massive. It is in two halves, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get it in the house 🤣 but the cover covers both halves, so you can't see the join.

Oh dear, all I asked about was a launderette, I burble on as badly online as I do offline 🤣

Whereabouts in Bellenden Road is it?

Though I settled for a very thorough going over with the upholstery attachment on my Dyson in the end 🤣

The launderette in Bellenden Road is on the opposite side of the road to Kuki Hairdressers, but a bit further down, towards Choumert Road.

    • They just gave woolly and opaque policies on the basis of "we will not increase tax for working people" and then could not clearly define what a working person is. They sold everyone, directly or indirectly, on the notion that Covid, the energy crisis and the war in Ukraine had nothing to do with the sorry state of the UK and that it was 14 years of Tory rule and Truss' nightmare budget that was the source of all the country's woes. the moment they got in they lent in to the notion that change will be slow due to global challenges. The electorate are impatient and Labour were always going to have a huge job to keep people onside and bought in to the (long) journey the country is on to any sort of recovery. Their first 100 days should have been about solidifying the electorate's support for the journey but instead they have lurched from one own-goal to another and I think significantly distanced themselves from the electorate as they have behaved just like the Tories in many aspects of leadership (access to donors, clothing gate). Throw in spin on the £22bn gap (of which around £9bn was based on their own decisions), Winter Fuel payments ending and the attack on farmers (the very definition of working people) and it has been an utter disaster. They have a massive perceptual problem and seem incapable of delivering crisp messages that the people can get behind. Listening to members of the government trying to explain the intricacies and details of much of the aforementioned challenges is utterly painful to watch and people shut off after a couple of sentences. In opposition you can get away with soundbites and when you get scrutinised you can bridge to "14 years of hurt" and "we're not them" and people will buy it. When you're in the hot seat those things sounds hollow and suggest you don't have the answers and people will turn on you very quickly. It is in everyone's interests that they get it right because with a Tory party chasing the far-right vote because of Reform and Reform picking up disillusioned main political party voters then the alternative is really scary. Of course, we also have the threat from within the Labour party itself as if things don't go well for Starmer & co we could find Labour turning on itself.

    • It’s very likely to be a mistake by a council contractor, so they should make good; also, someone else could be waiting for a much needed installation. It might be quickest to email your councillor, as they should be able to track down who’s responsible, rather than going from pillar to post with switchboards etc.
