Outside the city centre, where there must actually be people who use them, I'm not sure I've ever…read moreseen a Laundromat in this city. This one means serious business, with numerous heavy duty washing machines and shiny dryers lined up on either side of the room. When I was there it wasn't exactly happening; I guess everyone had either already, very responsibly, completed their washing, or they all have washing machines in their homes. If some horrendous catastrophe occurred and I no longer had a working washer and dryer, I would complain a lot, then cart my washing to this place.

Best laundromat near the CBD, by far. Machines were all in working order and clean. The PayPal…read morepayment system worked flawlessly -- go to the link posted on the wall (using their free wifi, if you like), specify the machine you want to use, the amount of time (for dryers), and then you're transferred to PayPal to complete the transaction. As soon as you pay, the machine is active and ready to run. The wifi worked well, and there are outlets for your laptop next to a desk at the window. There's also a big table for folding laundry, and a clever gadget to help you fold your sheets. You don't have to guess about dryer heats -- a sign above the dryers tells you the temperature of each setting. Washers are $4 each. Dryers are $1 for 8 minutes. There's one large washer -- I forget the price. Discounted prices are available certain hours, which are advertised on the notice board. The only problem I had was quickly resolved. I had tried to use the vending machine to buy detergent, but the coin slot was jammed. I was able to pay with a bill and get coins as change, but the coins I put in got stuck. I phoned the two help numbers -- the landline went to voicemail and I left a message, but the mobile number was answered right away. He said he'd come by in 15 minutes to look into the problem, and he did. Shortly thereafter, a lady returned my call to the landline. When the owner arrived, he cleared the jam (caused by a sticky 20 cent coin in the slot), gave me my lost coins back, and offered me anything I'd like from the machine. The laundromat is in a small shopping center with its own small parking lot -- a few spaces are available for laundromat customers. I never had trouble getting a spot. It's near enough to the Gabba that I was able to walk down and watch a few overs of a Sheffield Shield match while waiting for my clothes to dry. The owner told me that they hope to add a location near the CBD, if they can find a spot with reasonable rent. Spring Hill is a possibility. I hope they do, as there is a dearth of laundry options in the CBD other than overpriced hotel laundry service.

Seating is plenty with a lovely colour palate, all appliances are stainless steal and washing detergent is free with every wash. If you have been holding off getting that pesky quilt washed there is no time like the present to head on down.

Stuck in the western burbs of Brisbane and need an IT tech shop with exception skills and service?…read moreIt's right here at Total IT in Ferny Hills. In business for more than 12 years at this location tells you everything you need to know. Trustworthy, cost-competitive and knowledgeable. I've been there numerous times for cracked iPhone glass to replacing iPhone batteries and the service has always been friendly, swift and the cost within reason. There's no point in travelling and suffering the ills of an Apple store in the Brisbane metro region with Total IT in such close proximity to the western burbs. These guys are great and I'll continue to be a customer and reference point now and well into their future, which I hope will be long and robust.
