Laundromats can sometimes get a reputation for being unhygienic, but at Stoddard Road Laundromat Auckland this couldn’t be further from the truth.

The reality is that our laundromat is significantly cleaner than a home washing machine.

Keeping our laundromat clean and safe is very important to us, and there are a few ways we work to ensure that it is kept as hygienic as possible.

Why it’s important to keep a laundromat clean

Keeping a laundromat clean and safe is essential. Dirty laundry will inevitably leave its mark on washing machines, and over time they can become a breeding ground for bacteria, which if left unchecked can develop into viruses which will attach to your clothing.

What’s more, washing machines in laundromats see countless laundry and different types of washing powder used every day. If a machine isn’t cleaned regularly, these powders, when mixed, can lead to skin irritation in some people. When you use an uncleaned washing machine, your clothes may end up with residue from other people’s washing powder, which can lead to rashes and skin irritation.

How we keep our laundromat clean and safe

While the average home washing machine most likely isn’t cleaned too often, our machines are cleaned routinely. We have staff available 24/7, who are on hand to clean the machines with regular rinse cycles and solve any problems that could lead to an unhygienic environment.

In addition to our washers, we also make sure that every single surface is kept pristine.

Airborne dirt tends to settle on surfaces, which means that using an unclean folding table could result in your washing not staying clean for as long. To combat this, we make sure to wipe down every surface regularly.

The reputation that laundromats have of not being clean is often just a myth. If a laundromat takes hygiene seriously, it will often be a much more hygienic option than your home washing machine.

Stoddard Road Laundromat is a fully serviced laundromat in Auckland that is open 24/7, with a selection of self-service washers and dryers and dedicated staff who are happy to get your laundry sorted for you.
