Rugs & Large Washable Items
Our 27kg extra-large washer takes the bulky textiles a household machine cannot.
Soft rugs, bath mats, runners and other oversized washable items need a drum with room to move. Our extra-large machines are built exactly for items that will not fit comfortably in a normal household washer, and our team is happy to tell you whether yours is suitable before you load it.
- 27kg extra-large washer: $14 per wash

- Picnic rugs and outdoor blankets
- Cushion covers and throw covers

What Washing a Rug Here Looks Like
Suitability first, then the capacity — with an honest word on what should not go in a machine.
01CheckLook at the label on the underside
Cotton and synthetic-pile rugs usually wash; rubber-backed, jute and wool-pile usually do not.

What Melbourne Customers Say
Real Google reviews from customers at our St Kilda and Werribee laundromats.
The environment here is unbelievably good, extremely clean and well maintained. When I went to do laundry that day, I met a couple. As I was putting in the detergent, the machine got stuck, and the man kindly helped me solve the problem. We then had…
Laundromat was kept in great condition. Folding tables were not dusty or dirty at all. Quite comfortable to use the folding table to fold the clothes after drying.
Great machines, very efficient and everything looks neat. I went on a day that it was free washing and when I got there, they even left snacks and drinks for everyone to enjoy!
Finally tried Spakleen in St Kilda and I’m impressed. The place feels bright, organised and really well thought out. Loads of space to spread out, plus decent storage so you’re not juggling baskets. The machines are quick and the whole place looks br…
Excellent service, I didn’t know how things works but the cleaning man that it was there was really kind and gentle and he show me how to do it.Thanks
I had a great experience at this laundromat. The place was clean, well-lit, and easy to use, with plenty of washing machines and dryers available. All the machines were in great working condition, and the prices very reasonable.
Sparkleen has officially raised the bar for laundromats in Werribee. The space is spotless, the setup is thoughtful, and the entire customer experience feels refreshingly modern. Their brand-new machines are fast, efficient, and a dream to use.
Such a nice clean facility. They also do wash dry fold service which was so helpful for me. Hopefully they can sort some signage soon as it was really hard to find but very worth it.
5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spakleen Laundromat Werribee is a lifesaver! 🚀 Affordable prices, super quick turnaround, and top-notch service. Pick-up and drop-off was a breeze, clothes looked amazing. Friendly team and reliable - highly recommend! 👍 Will be back!
How clean and neat of this laundromat is unreal, too comfortable that even got some work done on my laptop. It has a calming, soothing effect that I can’t explain and the machines are awesome. Found my forever laundromat
Questions & answers
Rug Washing FAQs
Suitability, cost and drying, answered before you load.
Suitable soft, washable rugs can go into our 27kg extra-large washer. Cotton, microfibre and synthetic-pile rugs and bath mats are usually fine. Rubber or latex-backed, jute, sisal, wool-pile and hand-knotted rugs are generally not suitable for machine washing.
Check the care label on the underside of the rug. If it says machine wash, follow the recommended temperature. If there is no label or you are unsure, call us on 03 7050 3699 and describe the rug before you travel.
The 27kg extra-large washer is $14 per wash. Drying in the 21kg jumbo dryer costs $6 for 30 minutes, $8 for 40 minutes or $12 for 60 minutes, depending on the thickness of the rug.
Many washable rugs can be tumble dried on a low or warm setting if the care label allows it. Thick or rubber-backed rugs should be air dried instead, as heat can damage the backing.
Bath mats, floor runners, pet-free blankets, curtains where the care label allows, cushion covers, picnic rugs and other oversized washable household textiles all fit comfortably in the extra-large machine.
No. Both laundromats are walk-in and open daily from 6:00AM to 1:00AM. Every machine is cashless: tap your card or phone to start.
