Expanded Laundry Support for MK Residents
Milton Keynes City Council has widened access to its valuable laundry service. Previously focused on older residents and those receiving adult social care, the service is now available to a broader range of people. This expansion aims to provide affordable and convenient laundry assistance to more individuals and families across the city.
Who Can Now Access the Service
The service now welcomes families with disabled children, individuals who act as carers for others, and residents experiencing medical or mobility challenges. These challenges can be long-term or temporary, such as recovery from illness or injury. The goal is to support those who find managing laundry difficult.
How the Service Works
The City Council’s laundry team offers a comprehensive service throughout Milton Keynes, including its rural areas. They collect dirty laundry, including clothes, household linen, and larger items like blankets and duvets. The items are professionally cleaned and returned to the resident’s home, typically within a week. Flexible booking options are available, from single collections to regular arrangements. A standard laundry bag, equivalent to a medium household machine load, costs under £20.
