What is in the room

Ten machines, and everything around them

Six washing machines, four dryers, six ozone generators. And then the baskets, the chairs, the folding table, the light: the things that stop half an hour here feeling like half an hour in a launderette.

The machines

All fitted when the place opened in October 2025, all with ozone disinfection, without exception and without a surcharge. They are high-performance professional machines: the final spin leaves laundry nearly dry, which is drying time you do not pay for afterwards.

4

7 kg machines

The week's washing. A 32-minute cycle at €4.50, detergent and softener included.

2

18 kg machines

A double duvet actually tumbles in there instead of sitting packed. €9.50.

4

13 kg dryers

Fifteen minutes at €1.50, with a wide drum so the laundry turns instead of tangling.

Ozone generators

One per washing machine, with the detergent and softener drums built in underneath.

What is free right now

The same ten machines, read from the machines themselves rather than typed in by hand. This is what you will find when you push the door open.

A finished cycle is not a free machine: the laundry is still inside, and someone has to empty it first. That is why the two are shown apart here rather than counted together.

Be told when a machine frees up

What makes the half hour bearable

Every launderette has machines. The difference is everything around them, and that is where the money goes.

51-litre baskets

Big enough to empty an 18 kg machine in one go. Turn up with a plain bag and the basket does the rest.

Two proper chairs

Not makeshift stools: somewhere to sit for thirty-two minutes without checking the clock every five.

No sun on the windows

The tree-planted garden opposite shades it all day. Even in a heatwave, the room stays bearable.

A folding table wiped down daily

Large, central, with hooks along the side to hang your bags while you fold.

Lighting with no dark corners

Ceiling lights the full length of the room and a strip above the machines: you can see what you are sorting, even at 10pm.

Cleaned several times a day

Not once in the morning and good luck until closing: the place is cleaned several times a day, bin included. It is the first thing 55% of the Google reviews mention.

The technical detail, in four points

1

dryer cycle is often enough

A serious spin, so less drying to pay for

  • Laundry comes out thoroughly spun, with very little water left to evaporate.
  • One €1.50 dryer cycle is often enough, where elsewhere it would take two.
  • Less time in the heat also means less wear on a jumper or a pair of jeans.

5

cameras and a linked alarm

Five cameras and a monitored alarm

  • Five cameras covering the whole room, machines and parcel lockers included.
  • An automated intrusion alarm, with an immediate alert on my phone.
  • Recording around the clock, available if something happens.
  • Help reachable at the same time, by phone or WhatsApp.

0

bolts in the floor

Suspended tubs, so a quiet room

  • The vibration is absorbed by the machine instead of travelling into the floor.
  • It is what allows the high-speed spin: full tilt, without shaking the room.
  • No machine needs bolting to a concrete slab, and nothing moves during the cycle.

6

languages, kiosk and machines

Six languages, on the terminal and on the machines

  • Six languages on the terminal, on the washing machines and on the dryers.
  • Card, contactless, phone, watch, cash and the app, all in one place.
  • A 22-inch screen, readable with a basket in your arms.

And while the machine runs

Thirty-two minutes is short for going home and long for standing about. Two places, less than a minute's walk away.

Square Paul Paray, right opposite

A tree-planted courtyard, benches in the shade and a playground. It is also what keeps the launderette cool: the greenery opposite stops the sun hitting the windows, even in a heatwave.

5 questions, 5 answers

Your questions about the machines and the room

What fits in a drum, what I clean and how often: the answers people ask for most.

Machines & capacity

All of them are new professional machines, installed when we opened in October 2025:

  • 👕 Four 7 kg machines: for everyday laundry
  • 🛏️ Two 18 kg machines: built for duvets, pillows, eiderdowns and bulky loads
  • 🌀 Four 13 kg dryers, in two stacks of two

The washing machines have suspended drums: they soak up the vibration, the room stays quiet and the spin is powerful. Each one has its own ozone generator, and both detergent and softener are dosed automatically.

The screens on the machines, the dryers and the terminal are available in 6 languages. ✨

Absolutely. 🛏️

Our two 18 kg machines are made for:

  • King-size duvets
  • Pillows and eiderdowns
  • Curtains and large net curtains
  • Anything bulky

The cycle takes only 32 minutes, with detergent, softener and ozone included. ⏱️

As for the programme: Everyday Ozone for a duvet or pillows, Synthetic Ozone for a synthetic duvet, Delicate Ozone for fragile curtains or large net curtains.

There are four 13 kg high-performance dryers. 🌀

They are powerful, so drying is quick and thorough.

One dryer takes a full 7 kg machine load, or a duvet washed in an 18 kg machine.

Price: €1.50 per 15-minute cycle. If the laundry is still damp, you pay for another: the cycles run on without the drum stopping.

Hygiene & upkeep

Absolutely. ✨

The machines are new and sanitise themselves on every cycle, thanks to the ozone technology.

The room is cleaned several times a day, and I regularly check the state of every machine.

Cleanliness is in fact the first thing mentioned in our 88 Google reviews: more than half of customers bring it up. ⭐

Get in touch straight away. 📞

I am available seven days a week:

Most of the time, I sort it out remotely, in a few minutes: I can see the payment history and the amounts inserted, I can unlock a machine or restart a paid cycle that did not start, and I can watch the cameras during the call. ⚡

If it is easier to show than to explain, we switch to a video call, on WhatsApp or FaceTime. And if someone needs to come by, several trusted people from the neighbourhood can drop in.
