How to Choose the Right Laundry Service for Your Needs
At Star Laundromats, we know laundry isn’t just a chore—it’s part of your weekly rhythm. But between work, family, and everything else life throws your way, figuring out how to get it done efficiently can make a big difference. That’s why choosing the right laundry service matters.
Here’s a breakdown of the most common laundry options, and how to decide what’s right for you.
Self-Serve Laundromat
This is the classic option: walk in, load your own machines, and go at your own pace.
Best for: People who prefer full control, want to do multiple loads at once, or are budget-conscious.
Tip: Choose a laundromat with modern machines, cashless payment, and lots of space—like ours.
Wash & Fold (Drop-Off Service)
Drop off your laundry, and come back to it neatly folded and ready to go. It’s that easy.
Best for: Busy professionals, parents, or anyone who’d rather spend their time on something else.
What to check: Make sure the business sorts by colour, uses quality detergents, and folds neatly. (We do.)
Pickup & Delivery Laundry Service
Think of it as Uber for your laundry. You schedule online, we come to you, and your laundry comes back clean.
Best for: Anyone who values maximum convenience, can’t get to a store, or runs a tight schedule.
Pro tip: If you’ve never tried it before, book a one-time pickup and see how much time you get back in your day.
Commercial Laundry Service
If you run a business—like a salon, Airbnb, or gym—commercial laundry can be a game-changer.
Best for: Business owners who need consistent, professional laundry without hiring staff.
Key question: Can your provider scale with you as you grow? (We can.)
Bonus: A Clean Website = A Clean Experience
When we revamped our own website, we worked with Studio Ecks to make it faster, clearer, and easier to use—especially for mobile bookings. They specialise in laundromat websites and understand what customers actually need when they land on your site.
If you’re a fellow laundromat owner looking to clean up your digital presence, we can’t recommend their services and resources enough enough.
Final Thoughts
Laundry isn’t one-size-fits-all. Choosing the right service depends on how you live, how much time you have, and how much convenience you want. Whether you prefer to DIY it or hand it off, we’ve built Star Laundromats around flexibility—so you can get your laundry done, your way.
