Atlas Launderette

Yeah! My second silly review of a laundrette! Also my second review of a launderette, as I categorically refuse to do a serious one.
In all seriousness though, this laundrette is really very different to all the others, it really offers something special. Not really, I’m just being silly, its normal.
You can only ask for two things from a laundrette. One, that is smells like all fluffy and downy like babies. Two, that it delivers no nasty surprises. Atlas Laundrette delivers on both accounts. There’s no nasty bill you weren’t expecting, as its about four quid per wash. Never do you have to pay for two washes as no matter how many clothes you own (girls) it will all fit in their ridiculously big washing machines. Also, crucially, your clothes will come out clean and dry at the end of your visit.
Finally, if you’re like me and don’t like the idea of sitting in a dry cleaners for hours, they offer a service where you can leave it and they’ll wash it for you. Even this is relatively cheap, and it all comes back perfectly folded and ordered, just like you still lived with your mum.
Done. Not too silly was it?

If you have ever lived in Victoria Park, then you’ll know how finickety the university-​standard washing machines can be. They run the gamut from simple malfunctions to sheer disobedience, and many’s the time I have found myself having to hold back from shattering my fist straight through the infernal device.
Luckily, Atlas caters for those times with aplomb, offering low cost washing in simple surroundings. There’s no complexities involved beyond putting stuff in the machines and paying for the privilege. Both washers and dryers are present, of all shapes and sizes. It’s a basic place, but it doesn’t have to be anything more really.

These dry cleaners served as my mum incarnate many times when I lived in the university halls across the road. With little tiny washing machines that you can wash your pet hamster’s underwear in, to huge gigantic machines, that serve like revolving rooms for your unmentionables. The dry cleaners has a nice service, the guy behind the counter knows the stuff inside out and can brim your pockets with change if you’ve got the dollar. For the 4 pounds mark you can probably wash your entire wardrobe (girls this may not apply) and they’ve got tons of dryers for sorting through afterwards. Word to the wise check closing time, it’ll cost you a pound to recover your washed knickers if you left them their overnight.
