Liver Launderette

I was not personally aware of how to even use a washing machine before I arrived in Liverpool as a naïve student but having had to adjust to the real world I am now something of an expert. This new found confidence and independence even led me to the Liver Laundrette which was a novel experience to say the least as these are the kind of places I thought only existed on Eastenders.
This place is warm and too noisy and on the whole is not a very pleasant place to have spend your time as all there is to really do is watch the monotonous spin of the machines as you wait for your clothes. In terms of convenience though this place is great as it is simple and cheap and if your washing machine has gone on strike as mine did then it is a real life saver.

Liver Launderettes are like spores. Not in a bad way, mind, but you can’t seem to turn a corner in Liverpool without seeing one. The company just happens to be the biggest launderette operator on these British Isles and they’re dotted all over Merseyside, handily located for all your washing needs. The reason I mention this one is it’s one of the company branches which offers late night washing too, so you can indulge in many romantic, American-​esque scenes like those cute ones in 40 Days and 40 Nights with Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon. Bless.
Having opened their first launderette way back in 1951, they’ve gone from strength to strength providing washers and dryers for cityfolk ever since. They’re slightly unique, more so than other launderettes anyway as the machines are larger than domestic washers and some can take on a whopping 33 pounds of laundry. No excuses for wearing your wash day clothes with these bad boys around! Yep, it’s just about the only launderette that’s willing to take on your king size duvet.
A full wash will take around 25 minutes, and the dryers, with their large drum capacity, actually manage to make all your unmentionables easy-​iron. Pretty good, huh? All in all if you’re seeking a launderette in your local area, try and find a Liver. They’re among the best.
