Using A Public Laundry In Northcote: Common Questions
Below are the questions people ask most often before using a public laundry for the first time.
At Nina’s a 9 kg wash is $6 express or $7 super, a 13 kg wash is $9 or $10, an 18 kg wash is $11 or $13, and a 27 kg wash is $15 or $17. Large dryers are $1 for six minutes and extra-large dryers are $1 for five minutes; we recommend around $7 to dry a full load in a large dryer and $8 in an extra-large. An everyday wash and dry therefore lands at roughly $13 to $16 before Wash Club discounts.
Nina’s is self-service: you load, pay, and collect your own washing during your visit, and we do not take household drop-off. Our pickup, wash, dry, fold, and return service is a commercial laundry service built for businesses such as salons, gyms, and clinics across Melbourne and the northern suburbs.
It varies. Some public laundries are coin only and some are card only. Nina’s takes both: pay by debit or credit card at the Bubblepay kiosk at the back of the store, scan the QR code on the machine and pay on your phone, or use cash and coins.
Our 18 kg front loaders handle smaller doonas, towels, and dressing gowns. King and queen doonas, rugs, and heavy winter bedding go in the 27 kg front loaders, which hold roughly six baskets of laundry. Dry them in the extra-large dryers, which have the drum space to tumble bulky items properly and dry the filling through to the core.
Check the drum is empty and the door seal is clean before loading, use your own detergent so you know what is going on your clothes, match the load to the machine size rather than cramming it, and take your washing out as soon as the cycle finishes. Commercial front loaders like the Dexter machines at Nina’s are built for continuous use and complete a full cycle every time, which is more than can be said for a shared domestic machine in a share house.
Yes. Nina’s Wash Club is free to join at the Bubblepay kiosk. Members receive $1 off washers 1 to 3 and $2 off washers 4 to 6, and a bonus $5 for every $50 preloaded to their account. In practice that means $8 instead of $9 for a 13 kg express wash, $10 instead of $11 on the 18 kg, and $13 instead of $15 on the 27 kg.
Follow the care label first. Front loaders have no centre agitator, so they are gentler on fabric than a domestic top loader, and the 9 kg machines suit a small delicate load. In the dryer, buy time in short bursts rather than a long run, since $1 buys six minutes in a large dryer, and check the items between bursts so nothing over-dries.
We are open from 6:00 AM until midnight, seven days a week, including public holidays. That covers early starts before work and late finishes after a shift, which is when most people actually have a spare hour for laundry.
