Best Laundromat!
I have been a long time user of coin laundrettes and so far this one is the best. Cashless system means I don’t have to spend my week gathering gold coins and plenty of seating/tables means I’m less likely to end up in a brawl over folding space. Free wifi always a bonus!

Fantastic place. Super clean, great environment, and excellent services. Probably the most modern laundromat I have been to. No more searching around for dollar coins, the token machine accepts notes, and there is also a PayPass enabled touch screen to control both washers and dryers. Definitely so much better than the regular laundromat. I even prefer to travel further by tram to visit this one than the local one within walking distance. Thanks, Ben, Constance and Steve.

Rarely would I be motivated to walk 1km each way to do my laundry, but with Soap Bar that is completely different. They have put extreme effort in to make the place enjoyable and fun, and these are two words I wouldn't usally associate with Laundry. From the Complementary Laundry powder to Card readers it's really changed the way I do my laundry. And at the end of the day I know I'm giving my money to a business which is really working hard to create an enjoyable atmosphere like no other I've even seen at a laundry mat. Keep up the good work!

The extra large 27kg washer was great for washing my doona (bigger than king size). Loved the various payment methods available, and there are lots of machines so you can do multiple loads at a time if you need. Also the dryers don’t have a fixed time program; you insert $1 for every 8 minutes, which I find really smart when you don’t need such a long cycle!

The only downside is that there isn’t any ventilation indoors, so it gets a bit hot/stuffy while you’re waiting. Granted, I did visit on a 30° afternoon, so I guess it’s not all that bad if you come in the morning/evening.

This place is simply awesome, makes the laundry process effortless. Everything is fine tuned for the customer satisfaction. Easy to pay, easy to use. Detergent is also available. Extremely clean and nice sofa and tables to sit comfortably and pass the time using the free WiFi.

This place is great! After not using a laundromat in years, I had to hunt one down today when we couldn't use our washing machine at home.

Forgot to bring laundry power but they have it here. Also forgot coins - no worries can pay online! There's also free wifi and now I'm chilling in a massage chair (also paid for online). Best. Laundromat. Ever.

Very happy with the outcome of my visit today. Used the Jumbo washer for a QB mattress cover and it came out like new, and the Triple Load washer for another large item that wouldn't fit into my own front loader. These machines are super efficient so be careful not to over dose the washing powder. I could have used less of the concentrated eco powder I brought from home. I'll definitely be back the next time I need to wash jumbo bedding items.

Very nice place to do your heavy laundry. They have 3 sizes of washing machines (being 27kg the biggest one!), and 2 sizes dryers. Very modern payment system. They accept coins and also card. Prices start at $6 per machine. Powder detergent is available and it works based on honesty (you should deposit 1 dollar per scoop you use). Very fast (around 1h do wash and dry). Confortable sofa and tables to seat. The atmosphere is cool, with arts on the wall and nice music playing. Not busy (for Saturday evening). Good experience.

So super convenient! No coins needed, you can just use PayPal and press start! Go grab a coffee next door and sit watching your washing spin away!

Simply awesome! Free WiFi, free electrical sockets with USB connectors for charging your devices, paying on credit card, via PayPal or with coins/tokens, token dispenser, laundry powder available, sink, massage chairs, juice machine, relaxed music ;)
Travelled all around Australia and this is by far the best Laundry I've experienced!
The Double Washer is 6$, Triple 8$, "The Big One" 14$ and Dryers 1$ for 8 min.
I've just used the Double Washer and the cycle was 23 min.

Atmospheric place to hang out with friends while you do your laundry. Free wifi, the option to pay online or with your card, clean, soap powder available via honesty system. I highly reccomend this place for the weekly washing routine

So Ben, Constance and Steven. You guys are legends. I had rated you guys 5 stars once before and highly appreciate the fact that you guys showed courtesy to acknowledge the same.

Coming back to the point. You guys have changed and transformed the way people do laundry. It's no more a pain when my partner asks me to go for laundry (hope she reads this) but it is something that I enjoy now. I usually pick an odd time which is 10.30 pm and you guys made it possible.

Wish you all the best for all your future endeavours. Would love be to catch up sometime for listening to your amazing story as 'Innovative Entrepreneurs'.

Have a good one. Cheers.

Wow! I laughed out loud when I entered the laundromat. Talk about fancy! I stumbled upon this place on is my way to my regular laundromat in Caulfield North.what a find! The list would be endless but here are the biggest pros:
* CARD PAYMENT! Multiple payment options. As well as a change machine. This alone warrants 5 stars.
*Free washing powder.nope just had a look and it is not free. You pay $1 in a box next to the soap. It works on a honesty system. My 5 stars still stand.
*Immaculate.the place is clean and roomy. There is a sink.a sink! And hand dryer.
*Free wifi/power points/tables to eat/massage chairs/fresh juice machine.

Cons
It was cold but hey it is not always going to be winter.

I had to look at the 1 star reviews and again laughed out loud. My regular laundromat charges $1 for 7 minute dry spin (I only dry). I came back to add that the dryers are regular sizef with the addition of lavels to tell you which dryer you are adding money to.what more could you ask for?

I live in Glen Iris and will definitely be using this place as my regular laundromat. Definetely worth the drive. No more hunting for coins!

This place is awesome.
Your usual laundromat is seedy and uncomfortable.
Not here, it’s like a mini relax spot. Chuck your clothes on get a coffee across the road and then sit in the massage chairs.
Really modern space, the pay station is amazing and saves getting a million coins.
I don’t use the laundromat that often, but I won’t be going anywhere else from now on!
Great work guys

Really affordable and easy to pay with coins, PayPass or PayPal. Comfortable place to wait and also conveniently near a supermarket and takeaway shops to do the grocery shopping or get some dinner.

Probably one of the most luxurious laundromats I've been to as of yet. From the little things that matter (like sink, USB sockets, etcetera) to the most fanciest things one can think of in a laundromat (yes massage chairs, I'm talking about you), this place is just perfect! Extremely clean and very comfortable! It's a joy whenever I come here.
Hats off to Ben, Constance, and Steven for a creative solution to a rather generic problem.

You made my weekly chore my 'me-time'. Now I can do my assignments, get a massage or a coffee nearby. Love it. All facilities you have makes me think of the owner's thoughtfulness. Best laundromat in Hawthorn

This is by far the best laundromat I’ve used. They are really affordable, have thought of simple details such as USB ports in the Power points for easy charging. And my favorite part is the massage chairs. These little comforts have made the weekly chore of doing the washing something we look forward to.

Really good Launderette and very convenient. You can pay with card rather than having to have a sack of coins. Prices are fair at $1 per 8 mins. You can also track your laundry's progress online. Large dryers are fast and make light work of heavy sheets or doonas. Definitely recommend and I will be going back!

Good arrangement for making clothes wet and then not wet again for a nominal fee. They somehow have less dirt on them now, which is an unexpected bonus!
