Is there still a launderette locally which has a large capacity machine?

I need to wash a very large sofa cover.

There's one on Gibbon Rd, Nunhead.  I think it's part of the launderette group that included the now closed-down one on LL/Pellatt. Looks like same staff.

You could also consider a dry shampoo, like they use for car upholstery, or if the material is colour fast borrow a steam cleaner? Most have an upholstery attachment.

Thanks, it's not very dirty, it just needs freshening up really. It's been on the sofa for more than  thirty years , as I bought the sofa  shortly after I moved here 🤣

But the sofa has large seat cushions (whose covers wash easily) and it's had throws over it for much of its life.

It's massive. It is in two halves, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get it in the house 🤣 but the cover covers both halves, so you can't see the join.

Oh dear, all I asked about was a launderette, I burble on as badly online as I do offline 🤣

Whereabouts in Bellenden Road is it?

Though I settled for a very thorough going over with the upholstery attachment on my Dyson in the end 🤣

The launderette in Bellenden Road is on the opposite side of the road to Kuki Hairdressers, but a bit further down, towards Choumert Road.

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
