About Us
Welcome to Your Laundry Room! We're more than just a laundromat – we're a community dedicated to making laundry a mindful and meaningful experience. Here, self-love, sustainability, and connection come together to create a space where you can embrace imperfections, practise self-care, and connect with others.
Inspired by Dr. Brené Brown's work, we encourage you to embrace your true self. Whether you're enjoying a cup of tea or make use of our communal library while your laundry is done, our space nurtures well-being.
Mindfulness is at our core. Guided by the Plum Village’s Five Mindfulness Trainings, we stay present and mindful in everything we do, honouring both people and the planet with our practices.
Compassion and community are key. Inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh, we foster kindness, empathy, and understanding, ensuring everyone feels welcome and valued.
Gratitude shapes our approach to business and life. We appreciate every customer and challenge as a chance for growth. With integrity and transparency, we strive for continuous improvement while staying true to our values.
Join us at Your Laundry Room, where self-love, mindfulness, and compassion come together – one load of laundry at a time.

Evan
Hi, I’m Evan, your friendly neighbourhood laundry attendant. Here to help you however possible at Your Laundry Room. I’m a people’s person and extremely extroverted so don’t hesitate to ask me any questions or strike up a conversation while doing your laundry. In my personal life, I’m an artist. I’ve always loved performing on stage whether I’m dancing, singing, rapping, acting, playing the piano or reading poetry. The stage is my second home. I’m also a deep thinker who’s always had a curiosity for life’s big questions so don’t shy away from asking those either. I’m excited to be part of such an incredible project with such a beautiful space for the community to mingle in. I’m keen to share my presence, service and gifts with each individual that comes into Your Laundry Room.
Rachel
Hey, I’m Rachel – Your Laundry Room Supervisor!
I help keep things running at Your Laundry Room, making sure your clothes get the best care in the most sustainable way possible. When I’m not here, I’m studying architecture at UTS, sketching, or exploring new creative ideas. I’m a pretty quiet person, but I love listening to people’s stories. So, if you ever want to chat (or need some laundry tips), I’m always happy to help!
✨ Mindful laundry, fresh clothes, and good vibes. ✨
