The Goodwill Laundry is a self-serve laundromat in Bankstown run by House of Sadaqa, where the profits go back into supporting local families. Machines range from 14 kg up to 37 kg, so you can wash a week of family laundry, or a doona, in a single load.
What it costs
| Machine | Capacity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| EcoWash | 14 kg | $10 |
| MaxiWash | 20 kg | $12 |
| UltraWash | 28 kg | $16 |
| TurboDry | 17 kg, 30 minutes | $10 |
| SuperDry | 24 kg, 30 minutes | $15 |
| MegaDry | 37 kg, 30 minutes | $20 |
Payment is card and tap only, so there is no hunting for coins.
Which machine should you use?
- EcoWash, 14 kg. A regular household load, roughly two full baskets.
- MaxiWash, 20 kg. A big family load, or bedding for a couple of beds.
- UltraWash, 28 kg. Doonas, blankets, curtains and the bulky things a home machine cannot handle.
The large machines are the real advantage of a laundromat. Washing a queen doona at home usually means overloading a machine that cannot cope. Here it is one cycle.
Where the profits go
The Goodwill Laundry is a social enterprise of House of Sadaqa. Profits are reinvested into local charity programs, including the Family Support Program, which helps families in crisis with the essentials they need to restart a home. The laundromat also uses eco-friendly detergents.
It is the same principle behind our other businesses: you were going to spend the money anyway, so it may as well do something on the way through.
