What is a service wash?

Do laundry services wash underwear?

Yes, laundry service washes do include underwear and socks! You can include any clothing or bedding in your laundry service wash and it will be returned washed, dried and neatly folded.

How much does a laundry service wash cost?

The cost of a service wash depends on how much laundry you have. Most launderettes will charge by the weight of the laundry and whether clothes need to be separated into individual washes.

If you have a laundry load which needs to be separated into whites and colours, for example, this may increase the cost as it will require two washing loads and additional time to separate them.

Drying time can also impact price – if you have items which require a longer or more intense drying process, this can increase the cost of your service wash.

With St George’s Laundry in Hove, service washes start at £12 for a small laundry load (12lb or 5.4kg) or £25 for a large wash (up to 25lb or 11.3kg).
