MK City Council announce expansion of local laundry service

Milton Keynes City Council have announced an expansion of their local laundry service available to more residents.

The City Council has said the ambition is that more local people with health or mobility needs can get affordable, convenient support with their laundry through a service that was previously solely available to older residents and those receiving adult social care.

MK City Council say that the service has been expanded following growing demand and is now open to families of disabled children, carers, and people with medical or mobility issues (which may be temporary, as the person recovers from illness or injury).

The City Council’s friendly laundry team supports residents across Milton Keynes who struggle with keeping clothes, household linen and towels clean, including in rural communities, by collecting, cleaning and returning laundry directly to customers’ homes. 

The service offers flexible options, including one-off collections and regular bookings, with clothing, bedding and larger items such as blankets and duvets cleaned and returned within a week.

The service is available at a competitive cost, with standard laundry bags (a medium load in a household machine) priced at under £20.

Councillor Donna Fuller, Cabinet Member for Adults, Health, Community and Housing, said, “We know that keeping on top of laundry isn’t always easy, whether because of health issues, caring responsibilities or a change in circumstances. This affordable, practical service can help take some of the pressure off day-to-day life, while offering the convenience of collection and delivery directly to your door.”
