Lantern Launderette
Whilst we have a long history, our approach is thoroughly up to date. Our machines are all Electrolux, Swedish designed using the latest technology to be; fast and easy to use, more energy efficient, use less water and produce beautifully and hygienically clean laundry, day in day out.

We favour sustainable and environmentally friendly working practices and products, which on a day to day basis mean we have removed plastic packaging from most of our services, wash on energy efficient cycles, choose local suppliers where possible and have created our own 'house'detergents that use natural ingredients and include Dr Bronner's Organic Castile Soap.
Services
9 commercial grade washing machines, Electrolux, Swedish made, the best available, from 9kg, 14kg, 20kg and 28kg. Water softener - this means you can use less detergent and it's way better for your clothes. There is a change machine on the premises (currently unavailable) that will provide 1 and 2 coins in change for notes.
Our holiday let and commercial laundry services have proved to be very popular. Why? We offer a simple and efficient service at a good price, no contracts, you only pay for what you give us, plus free collection and delivery. Ok, probably like you, we think price is not the be all and end all - for us the quality of the service is even more important, however you always want to know you're getting a good deal, right?
If you've got something big to wash we've got two huge 20 kilo washers and one enormous 28 kilo washer - it's got to be the biggest washing machine in Folkestone. Anything from duvets to great big piles of laundry. If you've got behind with the laundry these machines are the answer.

They are 3 and 4 times the size of most domestic washing machines, and the cycles are much quicker, average is around 35 minutes so you can race through a heap of laundry that would take you hours at home.Load it up, go get a coffee, by the time you're back, you're pretty much done.
Select the size machine you wish to use. Turn the dial to select a cycle, Quick Wash is the most suitable unless the laundry is very soiled. Put your coins in, the machine will weigh your wash and will display how long the cycle will take, most are around 35 minutes. Yes you can. Machine H has been specially adapted to give you wash temperatures of 70 and 90 degrees.
When you need to clean a duvet you need a really big machine to clean and rinse them hygienically. For double and larger duvets that's just not possible with a domestic machine, they just can't do the job thoroughly. We've got 3 machines specifically designed to take duvets, they all have a specific duvet wash cycle that is designed to ensure that the duvet is properly cleansed.

Excellent machines, ressonably priced. Absence of attendant irritating. Phone Call not returned. Annoying.

Used this last week a few of us did as were coach drivers and being away from home for a month it's a good place to wash and dry your clothes

It was a good place to wash clothes, grey on outside and washers and dryers inside.

Very helpful place indeed when I never had a washing machine but you can't buy any powder here these days which really is NOT very helpful at all. Otherwise, all is good.

I was quite shocked by the lack of customer support and surprised to be insulted when I questioned their working methods. I will not be visiting them again. If I could vote lower than one star I would. Don't waste your time or money
