My Beautiful Launderette takes it name from a 1985 British comedy directed by Stephen Frears. It's a film that tackles a complex range of issues including racism, homosexuality and Britian's economic policy during the 1980s. Set in London during Thatcherism, the plot folllows a Pakistani family as they try and turn a run down launderette into a profitable business with a number of trials and tribulations along the way. Sometimes real life mirrors the big screen and it would appear the guys at My Beautiful have achieved this feat in the haven that is Melbourne. They have big industrial standard machines that are extremely robust and dry your clothes in no time at all. It's not too pricey either. They also have long opening hours which is a plus. Furthermore, it is quite a nice little spot to relax and read a book or have a gander at the poster clad walls to see what is going on around the local area. It's hard to wax lyrical about a launderette but My Beautiful Launderette is pretty good looking and has got your laundry back.... read more

Great place to do Laundry. This place opens early and stays open late. I had no issues getting here from my downtown hotel or with using the vending machines. Highly recommend this place if you need to catch up on laundry read more

There is just something about a laundry in the city. You meet people. You catch up on your reading. You eat way more junk food than you would at home. There is a certain danger, though. A dirty laundry...well that's just scary. You want the machines washing your clothing to be clean, otherwise how would you get them clean. My Beautiful (which recalls images from The Lord of the Rings...my precious) is clean and tidy. If you forgot your magazine, they have plenty of newpapers, party flyers and concert posters to read. In the morning you can get some sun and stay warm in the front window. Or just sit on the stoop and watch everyone on the sidewalk. Laundry (and time-wasting) done cheap and easy. Sweet. read more

Pretty average. Generally clean with good machines. A bit crowded, not enough room to swing a cat. A bit run down. No sink for spot cleaning or washing your hands when you get soap on them for instance. read more

History

Established in 1979.

The laundrette has been on this site in some form since the late 1960's as a family owned business. Expanded in to the facility known today in 1979, the laundry has grown to become one of Melbourne's oldest, largest and most recognised Laundromats. We still have the cheapest washing and drying prices in Melbourne with over 40 machines available to use. In the 90's we changed the name to My Beautiful Laundrette as the laundry had be come just that for so many locals and businesses in the Fitzroy/Collingwood area. We have grown since then to provide commercial services for many local and city businesses. My Beautiful Laundrette is still proudly locally and family owned and prides itself of quality, cleanliness and personal service.
