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.

    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around. 
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
    • The toilets at this spot in the park have been vandalised to such an extent that they are now closed.
    • Hello! I'm looking for 2-3 baby gates I can borrow from 17th August - 6th September for a visitor.  Does anyone have any I could use? Thank you!
