Additional Services
South African Laundromats offer a variety of other services which generate more business for them:
- Shoe repairs
- Dying service
- Dry-cleaning
- Heavy load laundry such as curtains and duvets
- Some offer ‘Spotting Stations’ which offer a professional stain removal service
Another trend laundry owners have recognised is that customers prefer to visit laundries with a more pleasant atmosphere. Many laundry owners offer coffee, keep a supply of detergents and hire staff that is friendly and helpful.
