Soap Opera is a dry cleaners in Alkrington, next Alkrington Barbers and Best One newsagents, just off and viewable from the main road, hence on a bus route where one comes basically every few minutes, due to it being the way to Manchester from Middleton bus station (just down the road) The store is actually quite small, and you can not wash things yourself and wait, they do it for you. I would say this is a bad thing as you can't waltz in with your favourite bedding (you can't fit in your washer) and walk back out, the same day with it, you have to wait some time, often a few days for them to do it. I really do not like this. It is quite pricey here due to the service they provide, (doing it themselves) and if I remember it cost £12 for one small (ish [ but still couldn't fit in my washer ] blanket, which is quite pricey but they simply add it on because they are doing it - which is not optional. The only reason I keep coming back is the location and due to the price and the service meaning you can't do it yourself, and it simply not being the nicest of shops due to its' design and the till blocking most of the shop, I can only give 2 stars.

Last night a tailor saved my life, from a broken heart. Well, that is if by 'saved my life', you…read moremean 'saved me lots of hassle' and by 'a broken heart', you mean 'my girlfriend'. I had two pairs of trousers with broken zips. I had been meaning to get them fixed for a few weeks but hadn't had the opportunity. My lady was getting impatient - apparently there is a limited amount of time that she's willing to be seen with me sporting a pair of Decathlon walking trousers (but they're timeless classics!) that are slightly too short for me. Cue a visit to Smart City Tailors by me, less than two hours before their closing time. Could they help? Just one pair of trousers with a new zip would help. Rubbish sir, we'll fix both pairs. And we won't charge you extra however much you protest. Just pop back later before we close. I did, and you know the rest: last night a tailor saved my life from a broken heart. I believe they offer other services too.

With little tiny washing machines that you can wash your pet hamster's underwear in, to huge gigantic machines, that serve like revolving rooms for your unmentionables. The dry cleaners has a nice service, the guy behind the counter knows the stuff inside out and can brim your pockets with change if you've got the dollar. For the 4 pounds mark you can probably wash your entire wardrobe (girls this may not apply) and they've got tons of dryers for sorting through afterwards. Word to the wise check closing time, it'll cost you a pound to recover your washed knickers if you left them their overnight.

Yeah! My second silly review of a laundrette! Also my second review of a launderette, as I…read morecategorically refuse to do a serious one. In all seriousness though, this laundrette is really very different to all the others, it really offers something special. Not really, I'm just being silly, its normal. You can only ask for two things from a laundrette. One, that is smells like all fluffy and downy like babies. Two, that it delivers no nasty surprises. Atlas Laundrette delivers on both accounts. There's no nasty bill you weren't expecting, as its about four quid per wash. Never do you have to pay for two washes as no matter how many clothes you own (girls) it will all fit in their ridiculously big washing machines. Also, crucially, your clothes will come out clean and dry at the end of your visit. Finally, if you're like me and don't like the idea of sitting in a dry cleaners for hours, they offer a service where you can leave it and they'll wash it for you. Even this is relatively cheap, and it all comes back perfectly folded and ordered, just like you still lived with your mum. Done. Not too silly was it?

However, after getting my last batch back I noticed the clothes were leaving my skin itchy and irritated. I'm not sure whether they switched some of the cleaning products they use, whether I am developing some sort of allergy to what they have been using, or - in their defense- whether I am allergic to something else and simply attributing it to my recently returned clothes. I truly loved these cleaners so am definitely going to go back and hope its just some fluke.

I was not personally aware of how to even use a washing machine before I arrived in Liverpool as a…read morenaive 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.

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.
