Episode 1: Naughty Tiddles
2024-01-15
Every laundrette has its stories. Here at Laundreams we've heard them all — from the jumper that came out three sizes smaller to the mystery sock that has never found its pair. But nothing quite prepared us for Naughty Tiddles.
It started on a Monday morning. Mrs. H from Walkley arrived with what she described as "a slight emergency." Her cat, Tiddles — a tabby of considerable character and absolutely zero remorse — had decided that the freshly laundered pile of whites was the perfect place for a nap. Not just any nap. A sprawling, purring, fully committed nap that left paw prints, fur and what we can only diplomatically describe as "outdoor adventure residue" across a dozen white shirts.
The shirts in question belonged to Mr. H, who had a job interview the following morning.
We got to work immediately. Pre-treating the marks, running a specialist white wash, carefully pressing each shirt afterwards. By 4pm, the shirts were immaculate — not a trace of Tiddles anywhere to be seen. Mrs. H was delighted. Mr. H got the job. And Tiddles, we're told, has not been reformed in the slightest.
We love what we do.
