Launderettes

[Sue]

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

I need to wash a very large sofa cover.

The one in Nunhead Lane may do?

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.

The only other place I know of is Morrisons in Peckham.

Crystal on CrossthwIte Avenue  have large machines.  Had to use last weekend and they were great, whole place was spotlessly clean and think it was £8 for large one, but I could be wrong as was using small machines too.

Is the place on Bellenden Road still open?

Thanks all. 

I was hoping for somewhere a bit nearer.

Now wondering if I can get away with not washing it 🤣

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 🤣

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 🤣

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