Snowtex: convenient and well-priced dry cleaners! - but probably not for rodeo clowns…read more I work a M-F 9-5er, and, although I realise I'm not either A) alone in this or B) the only one on the planet, it really irks me when a business can't facilitate customers who can't attend during weekdays. For the past 5 years, I've been frequenting the Snowtex dry cleaners located on the outside of the Torrens Park/Mitcham shopping centre complex. They have a range of services on offer, but I have predominantly utilised them to get my suits dry cleaned. They offer a 24 hour drop-off and pick up service, which definitely 'suits' my needs (that must've been 'pun'ishing to read! Haha - Bam Bam! Double pun!) Their prices have changed a little over the years, but not enough for me to go looking elsewhere. They have another outlet in Keswick to for anyone on that side of the city. The alterations/repairs I've had done over the years have been timely, affordable and well done. You can't go wrong with Snowtex. Unless you're a rodeo clown. Then, I imagine you might need a slightly more 'robust' service. But for most of us, Snowtex is the way to go.

I would recommend Tip-Top to anyone who requires a dry cleaner. I am always a little cautious when…read moreit comes to the maintenance of particular favourite items of clothing, yet I trust Tip-Top for all of my dry cleaning requirements. Tip-Top is also reasonably priced, with special deals are often on offer. For example the more items collected for dry cleaning, the better offer you tend to receive. The staff are also efficient and will get your clothes back to you in usually no more than a few days. Although Mitcham is my local Tip-Top, there are various other locations around Adelaide.

As could be expected, there is a detergent dispenser in the corner which charges about 20c a hit. As well as this, there is a drycleaning, ironing and garment repair section to the back of the laundromat.

If you despise this chore you can pay to have your clothes washed, folding and/or ironed for ya. Dry cleaning is also available. The owner is down to earth and not only maintains the machines, but also an active community board, which basically spills off onto the walls. It's a good place to find out about the going ons around town and pick up a street mag. Amenities include: an internet kiosk, $3 espresso machine, vending machine, commonwealth atm and a large table to fold and organise. To kill time there's: a couple of cafes, an organic grocery store and pub on the block.

This little chook shop used to be a goal of mine. Back when I was in my late teens (just as…read morestupidly spunky as I am today), I used to weigh sweet F all and ride my racer all over the place. Living in the Eastern suburbs the perfect ride on a decent day was straight along the bike track toward the beach, and this Fish and Chip shop was our final destination before turning around and riding back (usually slower due to the carton of chocolate milk and hotdog in the old belly!). There isn't anything particularly great about the shop, it is just your usual, everyday chippie. If you do take the clan down to West Beach, this is the place to head for a good twilight feed!

When I was younger I used to visit The West Beach Chicken and Seafood shop on a weekly basis whilst…read moredown at the beach. The service is as good as it gets, all the staff are well mannered, and will look after their regular customers. The menu is typical of any fish, chicken and chip shop, but do try a yiros if you can, from memory it was the most satisfying thing I used to order. Lately the standard has slipped a touch and after I personally started leaning towards more healthier options to eat, this little shop has been shifted to the back of my memory. If you're after a good meal of chips, chicken or seafood and are local to the area, don't overlook West Beach Chicken and Seafood, I practically lived there for at least one afternoon a week though when I was younger!

Definitely one of the least attractive places to take your best clothing, this dry cleaners is…read morefast, reasonably priced and reliable. You just have to get past its rather sad appearance. It does a lot of local business, so the people who know it don't mind. Their prices are $9.95 for one item or $18.95 for three, so it's definitely worth waiting until you have three. Their same day service is handy, because you can drop off before work and pick it up after. It's especially handy because, if you live nearby, you're likely to drive past it on either of the main roads, and it's super easy to get into - plenty of car parks out front that are mostly empty. They're open from 7am, so it's nice and easy to get something in early, as long as you're back by 5.30pm, which is fine for most people. It's also great if you're a procrastinator and leave these kinds of things to the day before a wedding...

Who doesn't love an efficient, clean robot? Single load machines (all mah single loads, get your hands up) is 4 bucks, which seems reasonable. Double load machine and triple load machine are 5 and 7 dollars. The driers are 1 dollar per 7.5 minutes. Not too shabby either. Prices seem competitive enough. On busy days parking can be an issue, otherwise this place is as easy as it gets!
