Laundromat Richlands Town Centre

We love our furry friends, but Blue Hippo stores don’t offer pet blanket washing facilities. To keep our laundromats fresh, clean and comfortable for everyone — especially customers with allergies and sensitivities—we ask that pet items aren’t washed in our standard machines.

An exception to this is our Norlane store, which has a dedicated pet blanket washer that has been part of the store offering for many years. While it’s still available there, pet washing facilities aren’t included in new Blue Hippo locations.

Thanks for helping us keep tails wagging and customers smiling! 🐾

A standard wash cycle runs around 30–35 minutes, and drying usually takes 30–45 minutes depending on the load size and fabric. Larger items like doonas may need a little longer to dry fully.

Absolutely. Each machine has simple on-screen or panel instructions — just load your laundry, add detergent, select your cycle and pay. If it’s your first visit, our signage walks you through every step.

Most of our machines accept contactless card and mobile payments, as well as coins at selected locations. Check the payment terminal on the machine, or look for the card reader near the machine bank.
