Price per kilo, the only honest comparison:
Comparing the price of a cycle from one laundrette to another does not mean much as long as the drums are not the same size. Brought back to the kilo of dry laundry, however, the figure can be compared anywhere — including with the neighbouring laundrettes of Pessac and Mérignac, before you even set off.
An affordable laundrette in Pessac and Mérignac, in practice:
Our prices are displayed above, in plain figures, and they are what you pay: no subscription, no card to buy, no tokens. You pay at the terminal for the machine you use, in coins or notes, and it gives change.
A wash starts at 3,20 € for the 6 kg machine, and drying is bought by time: 1,20 € per 8 minutes. A complete visit — washing then drying a family load — therefore usually comes to a few euros, in under an hour, with a free car park in front of the door.
« Cheap », in a laundrette, is not judged by the displayed price of a cycle but by how much that cycle washes: that is the whole point of the price-per-kilo table above.
What makes up the price of a wash in a laundrette:
The price of a wash depends first on the size of the machine — the larger the drum, the more the cycle costs — then on the temperature chosen, a hot wash using more energy than a cold one. Drying, for its part, is bought by time, in blocks of a few minutes.
At Le Burck you have a choice of three drum sizes: one 6 kg machine for a small load, four 8 kg machines for the weekly wash, and two 18 kg machines for duvets and large loads. Take the size that matches your basket: that is the first reflex for not paying more per cycle than you need to.
The practical consequence: one large, well-filled machine is almost always cheaper than several small loads. That is the whole spirit of Laverie du Burck, appreciated in the neighbourhood for its gentle prices: washing a lot, all at once, for very little.
How long a visit really takes:
Laundrette programmes are deliberately shorter than at home: about 30 minutes for a standard wash, a little more at high temperature, a little less on a quick cycle. Add 20 to 40 minutes of drying depending on the load, and a complete visit usually fits within the hour.
Many regulars optimise: they start the machine, use the car park to run an errand in the neighbourhood, and come back exactly in time to move the laundry to the dryer. Laundry day becomes a simple detour.
Our tips for a lighter bill:
Fill the machine properly without packing it, to make each cycle count. Wash at low temperature whenever the laundry is not very soiled: it works, and it costs less. Choose a fast spin to shorten the drying, which is paid by the minute, and take the laundry out barely damp to finish it in the open air.
And above all, group your washing: one large load a week rather than several small machines is the best possible saving in a laundrette — in money as well as in time.
