Meet our Indooroopilly Laundromat Family

Well, it's heading towards nearly 20 years that our Laundromat has been operating in Taringa, Brisbane.  And as most of our regulars know, Geoff is passionate about his Laundromat it's like his baby.  And like the old saying it takes a Village to raise a child....it takes a special little family to raise a happy, friendly, clean Laundromat!

About 14 years ago we connected with a local Katie who lives very close to our laundry.  And Katie started helping us, she would shut the Laundromat, clean it when we were away for a week and pop down in emergencies.  And over all those years, Katie has become a good friend.  Her husband David and son Matthew all joined in to help out at times.  So you will probably have seen Katie.

Earlier in the year to help Katie and us take a bit more time off, we met another fabulous Taringa local Leith.  Leith lives a couple of blocks away and is at Uni doing her 4th year in Journalism.  Leith has the biggest, friendliest smile and was keen to join our little team to help out a few cleaning shifts a week.  Perfect for Leith and perfect for us!  So you will probably have seen Leith.

Then, a few months ago whilst talking to our nephew Hamish, we mentioned that we wanted to go on a holiday and would he be interested in filling in the gaps between Katie and Leith?  Hamish was keen, as he is also at Uni in his first year of Architecture and lives just over the hill a few blocks away at Indooroopilly!  Hamish now helps on weekends, plus looks after other odd maintanence jobs for us.  So you will probably have seen Hamish.

So after 19 years, Geoff can now kick back a bit and let our 'T' Team look after his baby more often.  'T' for Team Terrific!  And as these last few months have shown, our Team Terrific really has got to love and understand our Laundromat!  When we are there, we get so many compliments on 'those lovely young people cleaning your Laundromat'  Fresh faces, big smiles and a great attitude, one regular customer told us!  And now it feels like a family.

Our own happy little Laundromat Family.  So if you visit our Laundromat at Hillsdon Road Shops, another happy little family of it's own....you have probably seen one or all of us!!

Indro Laundro Family as another customer nicknamed us!!  

We look forward to probably seeing you at the Laundromat 

Thanks to our Customers and Locals!

Our Laundromat just wants to send out a big thank you to all our lovely locals at Taringa, Toowong, Indooroopilly, Chapel Hill, Kenmore, Bellbowrie, Brookfield, Jindalee, Fig Tree Pocket and those who come from further afield around Brisbane!  

To our long time regulars, our newbies and all those local businesses who use us and support us.  Thank you!  We love supporting other local businesses at 'Hillsdon Road Centre' and around the burbs, so we want to send out the love to those who keep us in business, nearly 20 years on!  #welovewhatwedo #IndooroopillyLaundromat

Geoff, Karen plus Hamish, Leith and Katie - the Indro Laundro Team

 

Brisbane's Orange Sky Laundry

We love Orange Sky Laundry  💛  Australia's first mobile laundry for the homeless.   Since the early days our little Laundromat at Taringa has been championing this fabulous service in Brisbane.   
With our #makeadifferencemonday Fundraiser in December we donated  $875.00.   Now with the busier cooler months this week we have decided to #sharethelove and donate another  $420.00.

Brisbane's big wet - TC Marcia

Looks like we are going to have some very wet, heavy rain days as BOM has now predicted Tropical Cyclone Marcia to cross the coast as a Cat 5 cyclone around St Lawerence and then track south inland towards NSW.

This means some very heavy rainfall Friday and Saturday. We will keep an eye on how busy the laundromat gets and if our customers need it, we will leave it open longer to help everyone get their washing done. In the past we have left the Laundromat open 24 hours over intense rain periods and floods.

So.... don't stress, as normal we are open till 9pm every night and open at 6.30am in the mornings.  Our BIG express machines will get your laundry washed in 20 - 23 minutes and with our BIG express dryers you can be gone in around an hour.   We provide FREE Eco Laundry Liquid, Fabric Softener and Pre-wash stain remover.  So just bring the dirty laundry lol. 

Stay safe, don't cross flooded roads and lets cross our fingers for NO flooding!!

Laundry Day can be easy and more enjoyable than you think!

Simply we are just that!  Easy and enjoyable.  We are not a big Laundromat ....we are just a little local business established back in 1996.  To tell our story.  Our little Laundromat was started by Geoff's brother Peter at the suggestion of his Dad Max.  Max was a well known local washing machine repairman.  The boys grew up just a few blocks away in Gladstone Street, Indooroopilly.  Geoff even has memories of coming down to this little heritage Centre with his Mum to the butchers when he was little.  Our Centre has been around since the 1930's.  And we love it!

We have 6 *express* Dexter Front load washers, 3 Top Loaders for single basket washes and 9 BIG fabulous, *express* Dexter dryers (that hold up to 3 baskets of wet laundry)  We have a big stainless steel folding table.  Lots of modern, modular chairs....very comfy for the hour you have to sit while your Laundry is on!  We even have a modern modular bench seat outside for those beautiful summer days.  A ceiling fan, television, magazines, community noticeboard and FREE WiFi!!  Just to make it all 'a little bit easier' we also have a change machine inside that will dispense $1 coins from notes.  Simple!

Our *express* Dexter Front loaders take 20 -23 minutes, spin faster than any other Dexter model to extract more moisture from your clothes.  Saving you time and money in the Dryers.  They are gentle on your laundry, reliable and affordable.  We even provide Australian owned and made ECO Laundry liquid, fabric softener and pre-wash stain remover by 'Earth Choice'

We want people to find the laundromat the way we would like to find a Laundromat if we needed to use one.  And we use ours for our own laundry!  So.....we clean it twice a day, at least!  On busy days we clean it 3 or 4 times.  Our machines are maintained to be clean, fresh and reliable.  Dexter is 'Best of the Best' in the Industry!  

Find us in Taringa on Hillsdon Road, we have easy parking right outside the door.  Open every day of the year.  And to make life even more convenient.....Abode Cafe is located in the Centre (Closed on Tuesdays)  The Corner store for snacks, icecreams, drinks and magazines.  And Bus Stop right on the corner for #415 and #414

So it's just us, Geoff and Karen....only one little Laundromat tucked away in these quiet, green streets of Taringa.  When you need to do your laundry - then we want to exceed your expectations on how easy and nice laundry day can be!  

Heading towards 20 years of providing an easy, clean, friendly Laundromat to the locals and regulars of Brisbane west.   

Orange Sky Laundry donation

 What a wonderful way to start 2015!  We met Nicholas and Hannah from 'Orange Sky Laundry' up at Wickham Park, Spring Hill this morning to hand over the ceremonial cheque of $875.00 raised from our #makeadifferencemonday December fundraiser. 
Orange Sky Laundry provides a much needed service to the homeless and those in need by taking a Laundromat to them!  This self contained little Laundry tows a generator, has a hose to connect to water, 2 LG Washers and 2 LG Dryers.  Volunteers help Nicholas and Lucas run the laundry, in an hour dirty laundry is washed and dryed.  This is a wonderful way to offer clean, fresh clothes to those who probably cannot afford the $6 to use a Laundromat.  And we all know how great it feels to put on fresh, fluffy clothes from the laundry!

We want to thank all our old and new customers for supporting this, we hope to continue to support Orange Sky Laundry in the future.  If you wish to donate directly to this fantastic innovative mobile laundry service.  Go to:
